Rave, a video-sharing application company, has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple Inc. following the tech giant's decision to remove the app from its App Store platform.

The lawsuit represents the latest legal challenge against Apple's App Store policies and practices. Rave's removal from the platform has prompted the company to pursue legal action alleging anticompetitive behavior by the iPhone maker.

Apple's App Store has faced increasing scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers over its control of app distribution on iOS devices. The company requires developers to use its platform exclusively for iPhone and iPad app downloads and takes a commission on sales.

The specific reasons for Rave's removal from the App Store and the detailed allegations in the antitrust complaint were not immediately available. Apple has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding the lawsuit.

This case adds to a growing list of legal challenges facing major technology companies over their market practices and platform policies. The outcome could have implications for how Apple operates its App Store and manages relationships with third-party developers.
