Apple won't allow me to download Fortnite App from the Appstore anymore

4 years ago, I was able to download Fortnite on my Ipad Pro. I deleted the app afterwards because I have work.


I feel like playing Fortnite today but the Appstore deleted the Fortnite app for no reason.


Can anybody explain? Maybe EpicGames took down their Fortnite app because Apple insulted Epic Games by calling EpicGames's mom Fat or something?

iPad Pro (6th generation)

Perhaps to re-set this year old thread again, you may see if

there's a new answer to one; previously had two false starts.


But now this page shows newer stuff than a year ago.

epic games fortnite iOS app ~ duckduckgo search .com

And there are several different newer results here, too.


I've again tried & found a newer answer from the Fortnite page

where before, it had gone to replacement & for non-iOS awhile.

..And you may be able to play a version direct from web site..

Earlier 2023, results from searches failed; those, then, did not work.

Dated page numbers in link above now: copyright 2024; & not older.

ASC history here notifies me when anyone visits these older threads

in Apple Communities online ~ as links to my Volunteering goes back.

I see each again & they've repeated. Answers, now change over time.

So maybe this last reply with a New Answer will stick a few months?

Perhaps a simple search may reveal 'microsoft' might be to blame..

if seeking to blame anyone in particular, for this app to go missing?

..Seems developer may have removed the app from App store..

Other means to regain access were noted online near 2 yrs ago.

You may read through the search results to see what it says.

As a legal item was likely amiss between main players, there

is a workaround to enable the App to run again in your iOS.

..Malachi4..

Perhaps since this topic has faded out of current reference

status, research elsewhere might be a good idea. These all

change and Microsoft's connection also changed. Not any

longer; no longer is this product available, and not for free.


For a different reason the thread's Author name, has been

changed to 'Community User', & not an real ASC user now.


Newer security updates and upgrades to iOS and macOS

continue to protect Apple users, at device gateway points.


In any event, older software & hardware goes past ability

to see update without hardware upgrade to match. Sorry!
