Epic is in a lawsuit with Apple, the reason the game is not in the store is not because Apple kicked the game out of the store. There is Minecraft as an example, they are not on Steam, Gog or Epic store but they are for sure on Android store. So find an example of a real application that is not made by a company that is in lawsuit or has or wants a Store.

Fortnite is not on Android: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=fortnite&c=apps https://play.google.com/store/search?q=fortnite&c=apps That has absolutely nothing to do with their Lawsuit with Apple. They are also not on Steam. That has absolutely nothing to do with their lawsuit with Apple. So no, them being on iOS is not only because of the lawsuit with Apple. What does Minecraft have to do with anything? Yes I know they are owned by Microsoft but that is a weird example. While the OG is not on Steam, Legends is. So... Fortnite is a real example that is happening on Android, right now! They have already said they are going to do exactly this with iOS. > or has or wants a Store. That... doesn't disqualify anyone since that's the entire point. If they don't want a store, then obviously concern about them making a store and not being on the Apple App Store is a non issue. That makes no sense.

    It's on Android, but they meant that it's not on the Play store. They brought Fortnite up as an example of a popular app not available through the Play store. They don't want this to happen to iPhone apps in the future; they'd prefer either that the app is on the Apple app store, or it isn't distributed at all.

    Yeah that was my bad, I meant the play store which is why I linked too that. That is why I brought it up as an example, it is a major app that is ditching the play store on Android just like they have announced they will be doing for iOS.
