Epic Games had modified Fortnite to bypass Apple's transaction system with one of its own. Apple quickly took action and removed the app from its iOS app store. Fortnite has been unavailable for iOS players since August 13, 2021.
In September, a US judge ordered Apple to change its App Store rules, which prohibit developers from including links in buttons to external payment systems rather than using Apple's own in-app payments. that charge a commission on sales.
Apple Inc. has been granted a deadline for court-imposed changes to its App Store while it appeals the decision. A federal appeals court on Wednesday granted Apple's request to suspend the Dec. 9 deadline to comply with a judge's directive that the company allows app developers to direct customers to payment outside the store.
Apple said "our concern is that these changes have created new privacy and security risks, and disrupted the user experience that customers value in the App Store." Epic, which seeks to return to the App Store without being forced to use Apple's payment system, is not the only one to criticize.
"Apple has demonstrated, at a minimum, that its appeal raises serious questions about the propriety of the district court's decision," the 9th Circuit Court wrote Wednesday. Apple maintains that its pricing structure is the industry standard and fair compensation for providing developers with a global showcase and keeping it safe.
The agreement was reached so that Epic and Apple's lawsuits could be tried simultaneously. Epic Games filed an initial antitrust complaint against Apple in August.
