Fortnite Version 12.10 is available for download, but users on Apple mobile devices are experiencing an issue when trying to launch the game. They are getting an error message that their client is out of date. Unfortunately, there is nothing to do until the client update patch is available on the App Store, according to the official Fortnite Status account.

Players on iOS devices will be unable to connect until the client update for patch v12.10 is available on the App Store.
Unfortunately, there is nothing Epic can do to fix the problem, and it's up to the App Store to run the updates, so any delays are firmly on their side. This is actually a pretty common issue for Fortnite updates on iOS devices, and it can pop up several times a year when updates are released.
For now, all you can do is wait and maybe check the App Store once in a while to check and see if the update is still available there. The cause of the problem is that the servers have all been updated to the new version, but the client version on your mobile device has not changed yet, because the update is not yet available through the App Store . So when you try to connect to the game, the servers reject the outdated client connection. Luckily, it never takes too long to solve.
Below, you can find the currently known list of changes that have been made to the game with this update, as Epic has yet to release any official patch notes.
