Termination of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement.

Today, July 17, I received a letter from Apple:

This letter serves as notice of termination of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (the “ADP Agreement”) and the Apple Developer Agreement (the “Developer Agreement”) between you and Apple effective immediately. 

Pursuant to Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, you agreed that you would not “commit any act intended to interfere with the Apple Software or Services, the intent of this Agreement, or Apple’s business practices including, but not limited to, taking actions that may hinder the performance or intended use of the App Store, Custom App Distribution, or the Program.” Apple has good reason to believe that you violated this Section due to documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with your account. 

Apple is exercising its right to terminate your status as an Apple developer pursuant to the Apple Developer Agreement and is terminating you under the ADP Agreement for dishonest and fraudulent acts relating to that agreement. We would like to remind you of your obligations with regard to all software and other confidential information that you obtained from Apple as an Apple developer and under the ADP Agreement. You must promptly cease all use of and destroy such materials and comply with all the other termination obligations set forth in Section 11.3 of the ADP Agreement and Section 10 of the Apple Developer Agreement. 

If applicable, no further payments will be made to you pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Paid Applications agreement (Schedules 2 and 3 to the ADP Agreement).  

This letter is not intended to be a complete statement of the facts regarding this matter, and nothing in this letter should be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies Apple may have, all of which are hereby reserved. Finally, please note that we will deny your reapplication to the Apple Developer Program for at least a year considering the nature of your acts. If you want to file an official complaint pursuant to an applicable Platform Regulation in your country or region you may Contact Us. 

I log into my account and see that it was closed on July 16.

I have not committed any fraudulent actions and I do not intend to do so. 11 months ago I created an app that helps people develop attention and memory. During this time, I updated it 1 time.

My game does not contain anything that violates the license agreements. It doesn't even collect any data from users.

On July 15, I receive a letter of renewal of membership in the Apple Developer Program for the next year.

On July 16, I am creating a new version of the app (1.2) in the app store connect for its further update.

And on July 16, Apple blocks my account and removes the app from the App Store.

I ask you to resolve this misunderstanding and return my application, and allow me to further improve it.

You mean June, not July ?

I have not committed any fraudulent actions and I do not intend to do so

That's what you think, not AppStore's analysis.

Note that this may relate to something else than the app itself but the account activity. You only can know what they hint at.

Did you try to contact support or appeal the Appstore ?

Yes, of course, I meant June! I'm very worried and confused.

Hello,

Will Apple pay us for the revenue we got (The last month revenue and revenue until the day of termination)? I am experiencing the same, my account has generated revenue but now I can not access to see if I could get it.

Thank you for your time.
