Epic Games claimed that Apple has blocked an update to Fortnite on Apple's App Store in the US and Epic's own app store in the EU, taking the game offline.
Apple and Epic are in a legal conflict over Apple's rules for developers, with Apple requesting Epic to resubmit the update without the US storefront.
A judge found Apple in violation of an injunction around app downloads and payment methods, with Apple asking for a stay of the provisions and Epic fighting against paying a 30 percent commission to Apple.
Epic launched its own app store in the EU under Digital Markets Act rules, challenging Apple's developer rules on payment methods outside Apple's ecosystem.
