TL;DR

Apple has terminated Epic's iOS developer account less than a month after approving it, preventing the Fortnite developer from bringing its Epic Games Store to iOS devices. Epic claims this is a violation of the European Union's Digital Markets Act, which requires companies to allow third-party storefronts on their devices. Apple cited public attacks on its policies by Epic CEO Tim Sweeney as justification for the termination. The ongoing dispute between the two companies shows no signs of resolution, with both parties unwilling to compromise.
