Apple has consistently been bowing to pressures from China and dropping apps from the App Store in the region. In this case, it’s claimed an app called Bodyreader was pulled by Apple over reasons the developer believes are inconsistent.
According to Bloomberg Beijing’s intellectual property court has accepted a complaint from Bodyreader’s developer. The publication describes this as an Epic Games-style lawsuit on account of its scope concerning Apple’s overall practices on the App Store.
