Somebody is downloading all the old versions of our apps
Hello, we found something odd happening to at least 3 of our apps (we have 6 total) at App Store: in the statistics provided by App Store Connect we can see that somebody is downloading all the old versions of our app on their Desktop (another odd thing, our apps are intended for iOS, meaning iPad/iPhone, not MacOS desktops) Couple of questions: how is it even possible, to download an old version of somebody else's app? have you ever seen this with your or somebody else's apps? We have already contacted Apple Support, they said they will investigate it, but we have not heard anything back from them thanks!

App cannot by found in Appstore search by its name
Hello everyone, this is my first question here, we (me and my wife) wrote our first iOS app, GraphMath, which is a graphic calculator, and released it in August, it is in AppStore, can be downloaded, here is the link, https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/yuri-morozov/id1582368813 but cannot be found by its name, GraphMath. If you put "graphmath" in the search, it will return a lot of related or unrelated apps. When we first released it on Aug 24, this was the case, then after an update and call to Customer service the second version appeared in the search for a day or two, but then, after the next release, disappeared again, and this was and still is the case for the last almost 2 months, despite multiple calls to App Developer support and their assurances that they are "actively working on it". There is no other app called GraphMath, there is only a GraphMath2, which also cannot be found by searching "graphmath", but can be by its full name, "graphmath2" What is also interesting that AppStore algorithm knows about our app: if you add almost any word, like "graphmath math" or "graphmath graph" or "graphmath calculator" or even "graphmath ipad", it will find it, along with that other Graphmath2. Even more interestingly, if you put "graphmath graphmath" (meaning do not add ANY extra info, besides the keyword graphmath), it returns our app, but it still does not return it if you just put "graphmath"... I have searched the forum and found several questions like this (mostly from 3-4 years ago), but could not find any resolution, does anybody know anything about it? thanks!
