What Happened to Fortnite on iOS And Android?

This was a straight discount on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, but in the versions of the game distributed through the iOS App Store and Google Play Store (there are other ways to get the game on Android) , it worked a little differently.
Why Was Fortnite Banned From The App Store And Google Play?
