Apple to reinstate Epic Games’ developer account after an EU order

Shortly after Apple suspended Epic Games’ developer account, the EU Commission opened an investigation against the Cupertino-based company to see if there were any violations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). And a quick decision followed.
In an X post, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney said that Apple will reinstate European developer accounts after the EU Commission enforces the DMA. X Post even suggests that the EU decision paves the way for an Epic Game Store on iOS in Europe.
This has been a long-standing dispute between Apple and Epic Games, as the former does not allow third-party app stores on its platform, which directly violates the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
After further discussion, Apple says that Epic Sweden AB has agreed to play by the rules and that his account will be reinstated after agreeing to Apple Developer Program policies. Still, it looks like Epic Games won’t back down on its promise to bring Fortnite to iOS alongside the Epic Games App Store in Europe.
