Its been 10 days and I havent heard from Apple. I tried to submit an appeal asking why i was put under investigation.None of my other has been on sale for more than 6 months because I took them down as I was busy. All they said was that i should remain patient and that tehy will let me know in resolution center.

If anyone else has faced this issue then please let me know how it goes. This is getting very troublesome.

If you in a condition similar to mine then please keep this thread updated I'll keep this post updated with whatever replies I get from apple.

Three months passed after receive this message, I have nothing response from review team.

Anybody have an update? Did you get your accounts back? How long did it take etc.?

I'm dealing with this issue as of April 1/22. I thought it was an April Fools joke but it appears that it isn't.

  • Still dealing with this issue as of April 28. Can't submit or update apps. This is my first and only account too.

  • Do you have any updates on this?
