A California court ruled today that Apple must permanently allow developers to include third-party in-app purchase methods, such as links to their own websites, on iOS apps as a part of its final decision in the hallmark Epic Games v. Apple court case that was argued in May.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers issued a 185-page permanent injunction<\/a> today, explaining her ruling and thoughts on the case. She said the court could not rule that Apple is a \u201cmonopolist\u201d under state or federal antitrust law, as Epic argued. But she did say the court found that Apple has practiced anti-competitive behavior under California law.<\/p>\n
