  • Did you read the article?

    1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
    2. Epic can’t create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can’t be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
    3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

  • Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it’s ready day 1.

    But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app “for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold”.

    I just don’t see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.
