On the other hand, We should not forget that this relationship is one of the most problematic relationships in recent history.If we consider the patent and launch battles with Samsung to be a problem, then things take a new dimension with Epic. Apple once closed Epic’s developer account on the grounds that it was “untrustworthy.” Fortnite’s relationship was broken because it had a payment system in its app and Apple didn’t allow it.
