Developers including "Fortnite" maker Epic Games in the last year took aim at the two biggest mobile app stores, run by Apple and Google. But Gonzalez Rogers allowed to stand requirements that developers bemoan even more. Its 30% rate, she said, was set "almost by accident when it first launched the App Store" rather than as a result of market power.

Google, Epic and attorneys for other developers suing the Play Store operator declined to comment.
