'After beginning with 500 apps, today the App Store hosts more than 1.7 million - only 60 of which are Apple software,' Cook said. 'Apple's unfair practices have disadvantaged competitors and deprived consumers for far too long.'

'We need to ensure that Apple's rules do not distort competition in markets where Apple is competing with other app developers, for example with its music streaming service Apple Music or with Apple Books.'Д¬ook rebuffed those concerns in his July statement before the US Congress. 'It appears that Apple obtained a 'gatekeeper' role when it comes to the distribution of apps and content to users of Apple's popular devices,' EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement at the time. The EU in June launched two investigations into Apple, focused on its App Store and its handling of the technology behind its Apple Pay payments service. The company has still come under criticism for its fees, leading music giant Spotify and other companies to file complaints with the European Union's Competition Commission.

'And they are vastly lower than the 50% to 70% that software developers paid to distribute their work before we launched the App Store.' 'Apple's commissions are comparable to or lower than commissions charged by the majority of our competitors,' Apple CEO Tim Cook said during a congressional hearing in July.

In the past year, lawmakers and regulators have begun joining developers in this debate, pushing Apple to justify its up to 30% commission and its tight control over its platform, while probing Google's behavior as well.ДЄpple in particular has responded by citing a study it commissioned that says its fees are similar to those of its peers, with the notable exception of Epic, which charges 12% fees for its game store.

Apple and Google's critics meanwhile, say the companies are too restrictive and that they take too large a commission for commerce on their platforms. 'However, we welcome the opportunity to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play.' 'We want to get every app we can on the store, not keep them off.'Д®pic's new direct microtransactions that skip Apple's fees still appear to be available to anyone who already has Fortnite downloaded to their device.ДЄpple and Google argued their developer guidelines protect users and to ensure equal treatment of app makers, who've made millions of apps for both platforms combined. 'While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies,' a Google spokesman said.

Consumers can still download Fortnite on Android phones using other app stores, such as the Galaxy Store for Samsung devices. Google also cited rule-breaking by Epic as the reason it removed Fortnite from its digital marketplace. 'Epic enabled a feature in its app which was not reviewed or approved by Apple, and they did so with the express intent of violating the App Store guidelines regarding in-app payments that apply to every developer who sells digital goods or services.' 'As a result their Fortnite app has been removed from the store,' Apple said in a statement, adding that it'll work with Epic to resolve the issue. 'Twenty-two years later, Google has relegated its motto to nearly an afterthought, and is using its size to do evil upon competitors, innovators, customers, and users in a slew of markets it has grown to monopolize.' Google declined to comment on the lawsuit.ДЄpple earlier Thursday said it chose to remove Fortnite from its App StoreВ because the game violated guidelines Apple says it applies equally to every developer and that are designed to keep the store safe. 'In 1998, Google was founded as an exciting young company with a unique motto: 'Don't Be Evil,'' reads the complaint. Epic's lawsuit against Google accuses the tech giant of abandoning its idealistic roots and says Android's claim that it's an open ecosystem is a 'broken promise.'
