Of course #Epic would object. But even if #Apple said it’ll allow in app hyperlinks on web payment, it will not help Epic. The Epic (aka Facebook/Epic) lawsuit against Apple is a show trial. Epic specifically and purposefully circumvented the App Store (and Play Store) rules to make a big media splash. It may be an overall media win for them (more people know the name Eoic) but Apple (and Google) had to ban them from their app stores. Otherwise every developer would be on notice you can go outside the rules but we’ll let you right back in. These App Store rules must be adhered to or damage is done. It’ll be years before Epic is back in the App Store, maybe longer. Apple has made clear that any consideration for allowing them back in will not be considered until all legal proceedings are complete. 2024? 2025? $AAPL
