| Apple BANS Fortnite on App Store! Here's Why it Matters! ©exon360 |
Fortnite pushed out an update that bypassed apple's app store payment system and gave players of Fortnite two options the choice to get v-bucks that's Fortnite’s in-game digital currency and one among them was priced at 9.99 and another one that was discounted at 7.99 the 9.99 one was apple's payment method and the 7.99 went through epic's payment system by passing apple and successively giving them a zero percent share of any of the sale done through that payment system this flies in direct violation with apple's app store policy which dictates that to be on the app store you want to use their own payment system.
So, after apple banned Epic, this is often what apple said about epic's decision in their own word’s epic enabled a feature in its app which was not reviewed or approved by apple and they did so with the express intent of violating the apple store guidelines we'll make every effort to figure with epic to resolve these violations.
So, they can return fortnight to the app store then statement was released
This means the favored game won't be available for brand spanking new users to download on iPhones or other Apple devices.
In September, a US court ruled that Apple couldn't stop app developers directing users to third-party payment options.
Therefore the game remains banned, leaving iOS and macOS players unable to update their apps to the just-released Season 4. It also means they will only play other Apple users who also are stuck in Season 3, because the remainder of the Fortnite community update to the new season.
And this is often surely only the start of a protracted legal battle
The App Store are often interdependent to Apple and app developers
When the App Store launched on iPhones in 2008, it had been pitched as a win-win.
Apple would get a rapidly expanding roster of apps to supply its consumers and a gentle stream of money from commissions it took off the acquisition price of paid apps also as in-app purchases.Late last night, Apple informed Epic that Fortnite will be blacklisted from the Apple ecosystem until the exhaustion of all court appeals, which could be as long as a 5-year process. pic.twitter.com/QCD7wogJef

Because the App Store is that the only way consumers can get apps on their iOS devices, Apple has been ready to make whatever rules and set whatever prices it wants around all app purchases. App developers, therefore, need to comply with them alternatively lose their access to many many potential customers.
Apple also gives its native apps access to certain features, like Siri, that third-party apps don’t have, although the corporate has recently made efforts to offer third-party apps that access.
These complaints, brewing for years, are now coming to the forefront as a couple of major developers protest against the perceived monopoly.
