The Epic Games Store app for EU iPhones has passed Apple’s notarization process, bringing the alternative app store one step closer to selling apps directly to iOS users outside of the App Store. AppleInsider reports that while Apple confirmed the app was approved, it asked Epic to “fix the knobs” in a future submission to the company’s app review process.
But approval is only “temporary”, posted Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, which puts Apple’s order differently. He says the company is “demanding that we change the buttons in the next version,” promising that the company will “fight this.” The seemingly conditional approval is just the latest part of the back-and-forth saga between Apple and Epic. Previously, Apple reinstated Epic Games Sweden’s European developer license after EU regulators began investigating its decision to withdraw it.
