A permanent injunction issued in the Epic v. Apple case last week includes new restrictions on Apple’s App Store rules, the Verge reported.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’s order reads that Apple is “permanently restrained and enjoined from prohibiting developers from including in their apps and their metadata buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms, in addition to In-App Purchasing and communicating with customers through points of contact obtained voluntarily from customers through account registration within the app.”
This means iOS apps must be allowed to send people to payment options outside the options offered by Apple, says The Verge.
The judge also ordered Epic to pay damages in the case involving Epic’s Fortnite app.
Epic has filed a notice of appeal in the case.
