I am writing to notify you about how some of the creators are abusing the In-App Events of the App Store.This commonly happens in the USA, Canada, Australia,UK,... Store. To know more about this concern just follow these steps in App Store , For example USA store:
1-Open App Store application in your iPhone or iPad
2-Tap on search bar and write PDF
3-Do not hit enter, Just wait until you see the suggested keyword
As you can see in the picture, The suggested keywords are not normal, it couldn't be possible to have a large number of people who type the same and do a search for a product this way. It seems that something is trying to deceive the AI.
To get a deeper insight into what's going on there, tap on the first suggested keyword and take a look at the list of apps that are shown to you.
In the result list of all the suggested keyword research you will see the apps of these three creators: 1- CACAO MOBILE SP Z O O 2- Atlasv Global Pte. Ltd. 3- Ivan Marzan How it would be possible? All the apps have the same In-App Events, Just someone telling me what's going on? Why Apple couldnt stop these fake activities and should we follow these tricks as a developer? It's disgusting.
Each of the creator has two or three same apps ( How possible? Why?), And The worst thing: in the Screenshots the app ( in iPhone ) of these creators, you will see a cheating by adding a verified badge of Appstore for app of the month or app of the year, Just by cheating to deceive users for showing they have this badge while it is just photoshopped.
to summarize all my explanation, You will understand all the details in this screen video on the link below: [https://imgur.com/a/yzyecPl)
Yea I checked and it is true. This issue exists, I tried to search with the keyword "Scan" and I faced the same problem. If you type keyword scan at the search bar, the suggested keywords are not normally created. It is an issue. Please check Screen recorder from US App Store [https://imgur.com/a/Qb7Q8QU)
