Are Epic Online Services allowed to be used in App Lab and Store games?

Hello,

 

I am currently developing a game for Meta Quest 2 official store and possibly launch on App Lab first.

 

Question: are we allowed to use Epic Online Services for Peer 2 Peer multiplayer games? I am specifically leveraging the Epic Online Relay. https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/services . I am also using the FakeByte Epic Online Transport. https://github.com/FakeByte/EpicOnlineTransport 

 

I have seen online in discord chats that app submissions to Quest 2 store can be refused for leveraging the Valve Steam Peer 2 Peer API's. However, I have not found any official Meta documentation regarding what API's are and aren't allowed. 

 

I can not afford to develop my application with an API that will get my application refused in review process. 

 

Thank you.

    I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but if you haven't or someone else sees this, I don't believe it's an issue. They're deprecating the internal multiplayer support

    "For multiplayer features like matchmaking, there are alternative services available from Photon , Epic , PlayFab , and Unity ."

    That said, maniacAllstat how goes your integration? I'm about to step into this since I can no longer use Rooms matchmaking.
