The dispute between Epic Games and Apple continues, and after the company after Fortnite pointed out that those on the block were threatening to revoke their access to the iOS and Mac developer tools by removing them from Apple’s developer program, since the company founded by Steve Jobs stated that “we will not make an exception ”, and that this can be easily solved if Epic gives in its position.
Through a published statement sent to The Verge, from Apple they mentioned that “we want the company to continue to be part of the Apple Developer Program and its applications in the Store”, but adding that “the problem that Epic has created is one that can be easily solved, if they send an app update that reverts the changes, to comply with the guidelines that they agreed upon and that apply to all developers ”.
This is how they point out that “We will not make an exception with Epic because we do not believe it is correct to put your business interests before the guidelines that protect our customers. “
The conflict, which led to Fortnite being removed from the Apple Store, began when Epic released an update for the game, which evaded the payment through the Apple store avoiding 30% of the money demanded by the company and keeping all the profits.
