Oct 21 (Reuters) - ⁠Epic Games said its ⁠shooter title "Fortnite" will return ‌to Apple's App Store in Australia on Thursday after a ​federal court ordered the ⁠iPhone maker ⁠to open up its iOS ⁠operating ‌system, having found it violated competition ⁠law.

Apple said it disagreed with ​many ‌of the court's findings and ⁠would ​seek to challenge them.

"We will request a stay ⁠and appeal the outcome ​to seek a resolution that respects our intellectual property ⁠and protects the safe, secure experience that consumers and developers expect from the ​App Store," ⁠an Apple spokesperson told Reuters.
