I got this message from Apple without a reason. What does it means?

Hi guys.


I am in the same situation, got the same message yesterday. I now sent them a reply and an appeal, I am waiting for a response.


Let me tell you what happened with my account. 3 years ago I started develop an app, some soccer results for my country league. The app was successful, so I developed another one for another country. And so on, in the end I had an app for almost each country. After one year, in a call with a guy from Apple, they told me I should think at aggregating all these apps into one, for that moment is ok, but in the future it won't be. I didn't do it, obviously, all my installs came because I was on niches, with one app could be impossible competing with the other apps. Suddenly, on 22 February 2017, all my apps were removed from sale. ALL. Including other unique apps I had, everything, absolutely everything got removed. I tried to call me, get into touch with them, nothing. In the I tried updating some of them, they explained me that I need to have only one app of a kind. So I started doing that. They didn't care I had other apps there, they asked me to update them and if they were ok, they will aprove them. In the end I got 5 apps online. 4 old apps and one new app. Everything seemed fine, I was able to update them few times. Except few days ago, when I got that message for all of them.


This is my story. So, initially, they punished be by removing all apps. I said ok, maybe I deserved it. Now, it seems they decided to punish me more.


PS: I got the same message for a totally new app I submitted. In the message they say something about "updated", but that app was not an update, it was a new app.

it seem that is new steps that apple is doing

this is new and never hear before

in your case ... dont care just wait until they finish their investigation

Hello,


Thank you for your response.


At this time it would be appropriate to suspend submissions of apps.


Best regards,

So you can't create and submit new apps now?
