The court battle between Apple and Epic Games leads to changes in the app store policies

The podcast discusses the court battle between Apple and Epic Games and how it has led to changes in the app store policies. One of the key rulings is that apps can now make in-app purchases through a third-party link, bypassing the app store's 30% commission fee. However, Apple's implementation of this ruling has been controversial, with additional roadblocks and charges that discourage customers from making purchases outside the app store. The outcome of this battle and the new app store policies will have a significant impact on developers and the app economy.
