The tech giant said Friday it allowed Epic Games to become a developer again after the company promised to abide by the rules.
Epic Games said on Wednesday that Apple had terminated its developer account with Epic Games Sweden, which the company planned to use to bring its game store to Apple devices. Under a new EU law, the Digital Markets Act, Apple must open its operating system to other app stores.
Epic confirmed in a blog post that Apple has engaged with the European Commission to reinstate Epic’s developer accounts.

Epic confirmed in a blog post that Apple has engaged with the European Commission to reinstate Epic’s developer accounts.
Epic Games had previously said that Apple had banned its developer account due to the company’s criticism of Apple’s compliance program with the Digital Markets Act. The game maker has long been embroiled in various legal disputes with Apple over developer rights.
Apple said Wednesday that it doesn’t trust Epic to follow its rules and that the company had violated agreements before.
