Apple has approved the Epic Games Store for iOS in the EU, but it came with much drama and a condition.
According to Epic, Apple rejected its submission not once, but twice last week. Epic's complaints state that Apple's rejection was "arbitrary, obstructive, and in violation" of the EU's Digital Markets Act.
Apple confirmed that the Epic Games Store for iOS in the EU compiled with most of its guidelines, but it had an issue with the "a download button and related copy".
Apparently, Apple felt that the download button and related copy might mislead users into thinking they were made by the iPhone maker. While Apple has approved the app, it wants Epic to make the changes before the next app review.
Epic refuted the claims and said that it utilised the same naming conventions and followed the standard conventions of buttons in iOS apps across different platforms.
It is unclear at the moment whether this would become a point of dispute and barrier for the app to be approved in the next review if Epic refuses to make the change.
