Hello,
We understand how to change our app's name, but it appears that there is a review process before the name will be published.
I am confused by this process. I own a private limited company in the UK central to this application. I need to be certain that I can rename it to the new name I've selected on the App Store so that I can ensure the website shows correctly under the new name, the limited company is renamed, our customers are informed... the list goes on.
I also need to have a new logo designed for the application, and in order to do that I need to know that the new app name is available. It wouldn't make sense for me to rebrand/rename changing all of the app style/brand, and then to have the name rejected and have to reverse it all.
I initially thought I could perhaps just create a new version and set to pending developer release, but the time that the name is reviewed is after this process and therefore this will make no difference.
Has anyone else had this same problem? I have contacted developer support and they have told me there is nothing that I can do alleviate this problem as it is this way to ensure it is "fair for all developers". In my eyes, I think it's pretty unfair not to know this vital information before committing to a change for an app with a wide audience!
