To a greater or lesser extent, you all probably know about the problem that is going on right now between Apple and Epic Games. The developer of games as well-known as Fortnite decided to add a payment gateway bypassing the App Store, and Apple responded.
The response was, specifically, the elimination of Fortnite from the App Store, the most popular game from Epic Games And not only that , but Epic Games also faces the possibility of having their developer profile removed, removing all their apps from the App Store and not allowing that are used in the devices in which they are already installed.

This is due, apparently, to the rules of the App StoreAs we know, Apple forces those services that offer subscriptions and paid services to offer them through the App Store, not allowing them to be redirected out of the App Store

Apple itself, in a statement, has apologized to WordPress and they assure that the problem has been solved by removing the payment system from the application. What do you think? We don't really know how this battle of Apple and the App Store could end
