EA app tried to launch APEX through Epic Games Store.

In the past, I linked my EA with Epic.
I tried to play APEX in EA app.
But since I download APEX in Epic Games Launcher,

when I try to launch APEX in EA app, it came to launch APEX through Epic Games Store.
It needs EA app and Epic Games launcher to launch APEX now.
Please tell me how to fix to launch APEX by using only EA app.
In addition, my status of APEX is "Standard Edition accessed through Epic".
If it is fixed, I think that the status will become "Standard Edition owned".

    Hey @redpurpule,


    Can you try uninstalling the game through the Epic Games launcher and then reinstalling it using the EA app while the Epic Games launcher is closed?

    @EA_cuervo 

    I only can select below in Epic Games Launcher.
    - Go To Store Page
    - Add To Favorites
    - Add To Collection

    There are no item of uninstall.
    I asked Epic Games support team the item of uninstall in Epic Games Launcher.
    They answered "If there are no item of uninstall, the game is managed by EA app. Therefore you can uninstall APEX in EA app".

    And, after uninstalling APEX in EA app once, I downloaded APEX again.

    But the status wasn't changed.

    Could you please try clearing the EA app's cache to see if it will allow you to use the EA app only to launch the game:

    1. Go to the EA app’s menu.
      • On Windows, select the three dashes in the far-left corner of the EA app.
      • On macOS, click Help at the top of the screen, then choose App Recovery.
    2. Scroll to Help.
    3. Click App recovery.
    4. Select Clear cache.

    I tried clearing the EA app's cache a few times by following the steps you showed me.
    But the status wasn't changed.
