Apple Terminates Epic's Developer Account, Blocking iOS Epic Games Store Launch and Fortnite's Return

Epic's plans to launch an iOS version of its Epic Games Store in Europe have stalled after Apple terminated its developer account.

Apple calls Epic "verifiably untrustworthy" due to its past behavior, including breaking App Store rules with Fortnite.

The termination prevents Epic from developing an iOS store, which Epic says violates EU rules requiring alternate marketplaces.

Epic shared correspondence showing Apple asking for assurances Epic would comply with agreements.
