Apple was in danger of having to show up in court on May 27 if it didn't respond satisfactorily to a show cause order by Wednesday, but neither is no longer necessary.

The Fortnite publisher believes Apple is acting in violation of the injunction filed against it by a US district court.

The problem is that Apple is specifically not allowed to “prohibit” the use of external payment links. It can reject apps, or ban developer accounts, at its own discretion. But if it rejects an app or bans a dev for no reason other than its use of such links, does that amount to a de facto prohibition? Again, that’s debatable.

Epic Games' "Fortnite" is still not approved on the US App Store, and a federal judge has ordered Apple to explain in very short order why it's defying the antisteering court order in the ongoing dispute.
