Hello,

I enrolled to the developer program two days ago. Yesterday I setup certificates, identifiers and provisioning profiles and created an app in App Store Connect -> Apps -> New App on the page https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps

An popup appeared and I filled out its form and clicked on the button "Create". The button greyed out, its text changed to "Creating..." for some seconds and the popup disappeared.

The problem is that the app does not show up on this page. Instead it says "No Apps". So I can't edit the app and progress. I even waited a day. I tested to create the same app again, but is says the name was already taken (hopefully from input from yesterday).

Any idea where my app is?

I have to admit that there is a banner on this page saying "Developers must provide their trader status to submit new apps..." with a link to "Go to Business". Is this related?

Kind regards,

Chris

Today I added the legal tax information and the banner is gone. Then I added the app again. Unfortunately the name of the app is still already taken, so I had to rename it. :-(

But at least it appears now in the list. Does anyone know after which period of time the app name get available again? I really like to use the same name as on the other platforms and as advertised.

There is no app with this name visible in the store, I tested it on several devices. In theory it could be that someone else has added an app with this name in exactly this day, but it is very unlikely.
