Sweeney said Epic Games would aim to bring back Fortnite to the Apple App Store next week. Apple in 2020 had pulled Epic’s account after the company let iPhone users navigate outside Apple’s ecosystem for better payment deals.
This is very huge news considering this case has been ongoing for 5 years. Epic games was able to bypass all of this in Europe by creating a PWA type marketplace that let EU users skip the app store entirely and download the apps directly to phone. Of course in US this marketplace doesn’t work as apple blocks it.
Great news. Slowly and steadily putting power back to devs / users
