A recent ruling by a United States district judge has allowed crypto app developers to bypass Apple’s restrictions and fees, marking a significant win for the crypto industry. The judge found Apple in violation of an injunction in its antitrust battle against Epic Games, stating that Apple’s anti-competitive behavior would not be tolerated. As a result, Apple must immediately cease impeding developers from communicating with users and imposing commissions on off-app purchases. The ruling also prohibits Apple from controlling how developers design or place links leading users to make purchases outside the app. Following the court decision, Apple updated its guidelines, with some speculating that the company was not pleased with the outcome. This development has been met with enthusiasm from the crypto community, with industry participants hailing it as “hugely bullish for mobile crypto games and apps.” Epic Games has announced plans to relaunch Fortnite on the US Apple App Store, proposing a global resolution to end the ongoing litigation. In a related development, Justice Elena Kagan declined to immediately enforce a federal appeals court decision related to the case. This ruling is expected to have a significant impact on the crypto industry and app developers in India and worldwide.
