Apple hasn’t complied with a court order to open its App Store to allow outside payment options, Fortnite maker Epic Games tells judge


Apple has followed through with order but is still asking developers to reimburse the company with a commission of up to 27% for purchases made outside the App Store.

After the US Supreme Court refused Jan. 16 to wade into a three-year feud between the maker of the popular Fortnite game and the technology giant, Apple said it would let all third-party apps sold in the US include an outside link to a developer website to process payments for in-app purchases. The dispute began after Apple expelled the Fortnite game from the App Store because Epic created a workaround to paying a 30% fee on customers’ in-app purchases. Meanwhile, the iPhone maker is seeking a court order that Epic reimburse it for $73 million in legal expenses for breaching their developer agreement.
