Epic wants the court to compel Apple to approve Fortnite's return to the US App Store

Epic is asking the US District Court for the Northern District of California to force Apple to approve the Fortnite app's return to the US App Store.

Specifically, after the court ordered Apple to stop collecting commissions on purchases that weren't paid through the App Store and to allow external payment links in-app. After Epic said that Apple was blocking Fortnite's return to the App Store, the tech giant wrote a letter addressed to the video game developer. It also filed an emergency motion to put a pause on the order prohibiting it from charging commissions, telling the court that it will cost the company "substantial sums annually."
