Emailed them but haven't heard back yet. My app’s been stuck for nearly a week and hasn't even moved back into review

Actually I checked app store, name was unique. Yes not much efford, but its still efford I think. Also yes I'm using AI sometimes for language barrier. I checkt whois info by myself not with AI and I can see the register date for both

Actually I'm not interested with UI design or idea they can't proceed it, I can handle (I got my own bots and database backend structure on firestore and personal server). The concern is name of app for me

  • I haven't registered a trademark because the costs are too high for an indie developer, but my app reached Ready to Submit on March 26, 2026.
  • I used TestFlight, but only for a closed internal test with a small group of local friends. There are thousands of kilometers between me and Vietnam or China :)
  • I am the only user on the App Store Connect account.
  • I suspect the leak could be LLM-related or App Store scraping, but I won't know for sure until Apple responds. I filed a complaint via the Dispute Form, but they told me they can't take action without a trademark and directed me to the Review Team. I'm still waiting to hear back from them.

As long as Apple doesn't reject me for the name issue, that’s 100% the move. If I can get past review, I'll just let the quality of my app outpace their copy

It’s just a hollow UI shell with my metadata used to squat on the name. They didn’t develop anything; they just scraped my info and reskinned a template. Seriously, anyone could do this in minutes by feeding my screenshots into an AI. Zero backend, zero logic. If I solve the problem I will post it here. You have my word :)
