Apple and Epic Games have resolved their legal issues, allowing Fortnite to be restored to the App Store without the need for an in-person court appearance. The agreement comes after a judge ordered Apple to comply with previous rulings regarding the game's approval, enabling both companies to avoid further legal entanglements for now.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has ruled that Apple Vice-President of Finance, Alex Roman, lied under oath during a court proceeding, leading to a referral for criminal contempt investigation. The judge criticized Apple for its anticompetitive practices and ordered the company to comply with a prior injunction barring them from imposing new fees on app developers.
