Summary
Epic Games is attempting to get Fortnite back onto Apple’s US iOS App Store via its Swedish developer account after CEO Tim Sweeney revealed the company had made a workaround for the ban.
However, the account was only created for EU releases, and Sweeney has since tweeted that while Fortnite will be returning to iOS next week, Apple will need to approve the release.
The Fortnite developer was banned from Apple’s Developer Programme in 2020 after introducing its own payment system, and has been battling the tech giant in court over App Store fees.
The judge ruled in June that Apple would have to allow third-party payment options, a ruling that Apple is appealing.
