Agreed. You are not allowed to follow people for weeks. I probably waited like 1.5 months just to follow people.

How is it going for you? I created 3 US accounts and I can't follow anybody from neither of them. My setup was clean. I had 100k and 30k+ followers from them, so I know it used to work fine before. What has changed? Even after 1 week, it doesn't work.

Sorry, I never got notifications for these. Unfortunately, Apple calls everything "fraud" so they can justify themselves. It could be just a similar icon, an app name, bought reviews, bait-and-switch, deceiving users... everything is fraud in Apple's eyes. Many accounts got banned and...

That’s a classic Apple termination message. No details, no actual “evidence” of fraudulent activity. Maybe an app isn’t the problem. He used another person’s bank account, identity info on App Store connect? It took 2 months to reinstate my account. I appealed 5-6 times. Same response every time.

Wow so “xyz for abc” era ended then. I knew Apple changed their terms recently so they would ban apps with trademarked app names but I would never think of this happening.

What was the actual app name and subtitle? Was it Minecraft app?

They sent the same response every time. It was probably a bot and no human involved. Your friend’s case is quite interesting. They banned so many accounts because of nano banana , veo3, sora but they are generally new apps.

I appealed 6 times or so. - Wrote a long formal appeal using ChatGPT - A casual one explaining all the details - A pitiful tone that I regret for what I did (I don't know what I did lol) - A short explanation and a link to a blog post explaining all - Shorter explanation and a link to blog post...

Hey guys, I got my account back! It's hard to believe, but after so many appeals and trials, Apple said my account will not be terminated. I have already opened a new account so I have two apple accounts now lol. I resubmitted my old game with refactored code and assets and it got accepted. It...

Hello @nakamura Do you have experience with resubmission of a an app that's suspended before or belongs to a terminated account. I'm planning to change the source code, bundle id and name as much as possible but what are the things I need to check before I resubmit?

It doesn’t matter if it’s $25 or $200. Maybe there is a special agreement with government and govmt pays back the rest of it. You can make thousands of dollars with an Apple account so $100 is almost negligible. When I was making $5-6k, my server and tools cost was $500/month so I would never...

Did you check price on Apple developer mobile app? It’s generally cheaper. I’m based in Turkey so they do regional pricing.

They removed 18 accounts in my country last week because of this. I can send dm you a link. Apple is becoming Google, they are getting harsh. They started to give warnings about tactics like “apps gone free” promotion and delayed paywalls. They might do another ban wave soon.

Doesn't matter. The most expensive part is the hardware... Regarding the app termination, I have heard many accounts terminated this week. Never ever use a brand name like Veo, Sora, Nano Banana. Apple has no joke. Dozens of accounts has been removed from the store in a single day.

They started to use AI. You probably see the new feature "visual search" when you stop a video. It shows similar content that are not the same but very similar concepts. Even some radical changes are spotted by the algorithm. They don't care about false positives. There are thousands videos...

Update on my end: I appealed after every rejection, but they kept responding with the same message. I'm 1000% sure they have a bot responding the same message every time. I still keep appealing regardless of the outcome. I bought - a mac mini ($635) - a used iphone 7+ from a non-developer...

Yes, without prior warning whatsoever. This was shocking as hell. I believe the reason was the in-game user generated that might contain copyrighted materials. I didn't do anything deceiving and it passed reviews all the time. I still not 100% sure if this is the reason. I can't request a call...

Hey @nakamura, It's now 5:40 in the morning and I almost read the whole thread. Congrats on your journey. It's really encouraging! About me: I've been developing games (alongside with other stuffs) for 5+ years. I was able to grow my games virally on Tiktok and Shorts. I saw 25k installs in...

Hey bro, Do these account tied to a mobile phone number? How to bypass two factor authentication when I buy one?

Bro thank you for sharing your progress. You're doing great work. How is the country distribution now?
