    In response, Apple has threatened to terminate Epic's developer accounts and cut off its access to development tools required to build games for iOS and macOS.

    Epic Games filed for an injunction against Apple
  • Owing to the retaliation by Apple, Epic has filed for an injunction against the Tim Cook-led giant to prevent it from cracking down on its developer accounts and crushing its business.

    Fortnite is already gone from Apple's App Store, and if the company terminates developer accounts, Epic's other titles as well as the Unreal Engine, offered to third-party developers, would also be in jeopardy.

  • "We very much want to keep the company," Apple told The Verge. "The problem Epic has created for itself is one that can easily be remedied if they submit an update of their app that reverts it to comply with the guidelines they agreed to."
