A US judge has rejected Apple’s attempt to dismiss an amended antitrust lawsuit filed by the creator of an app store for jailbroken iPhones

California district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied Apple’s motion to dismiss the case on Thursday. Cydia is an app store for jailbroken iPhones.

Cydia developer Jay Freeman first filed a lawsuit against Apple in 2020. Lawsuit alleges Apple’has wrongfully acquired and maintained monopoly power’. Freeman shut down the Cydia store in 2018.

Judge Gonzalez Rogers dismissed the case in January. The same judge issued a mixed ruling for the epic vs. Apple trial. Gonzalez Rogers still gave Freeman the chance to amend the complaint.

Apple again sought to shut down the refiled complaint on the basis that the allegations occurred outside the statute of limitations. The Verge reached out to Apple with a request for comment but did n’t immediately hear back.

Epic Games filed a lawsuit against Apple following Fortnite’s removal from the app store in 2020. Match Group, the company behind Tinder, OkCupid, and hinge also filed a suit against Google for its payment restrictions on the play store.
