It's worth noting that Apple in their latest legal filing (https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.73.0.pdf https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265...) has made a fairly aggressive argument asking the judge to allow them to terminate Epic's international developer account which is used to develop Unreal Engine. The argument is based primarily on two factors:
1. Epic snuck hidden code into Fortnite. Apple no longer trusts that Epic won't also sneak hidden code into Unreal Engine.
2. Epic International is apparently collecting the payments from international iOS users that are using the hidden payment system in Fortnite, so it is directly linked to the breaching conduct.
So there's still a very real risk that Epic will lose access to the developer tools and signing capabilities for its Unreal Engine business as well.
