Epic Games Accuses Apple of Stalling EU Launch of Fortnite iOS Store

Jul 5, 2024, 02:31 PM

Epic Games has accused Apple of stalling the launch of its game store on iPhones and iPads in Europe by rejecting its notarization submissions twice. Apple cited the design and position of Epic’s 'Install' button and the 'In-app purchases' label as too similar to those used in the App Store. Epic, the maker of Fortnite, has shared its concerns with the European Commission, describing Apple's actions as arbitrary and obstructive. However, Apple has now reversed its decision and accepted the Epic Games Store submission, allowing development to proceed. Epic also mentioned ongoing delays with TestFlight app approvals.
