Reply to App is "Ready for Sale" but not showing up in App Store Search Results
@berkaegean @drivewithrob @MikeHeslil Hi everyone, I’m experiencing the same issue with a newly released app. The app is Ready for Sale, downloadable through the direct App Store link, visible under my developer account, and it also appears in Apple Search Ads. However, it still doesn’t seem to be indexed at all in organic App Store search, even for the exact app name or very specific keywords with almost no competition. Did this eventually get fixed for you by simply waiting, or did you have to do something specific like contact Apple Support, submit a new update, or change availability/metadata? Also, is your app searchable/indexed now? Thanks a lot, any update would be really helpful.

Reply to Notice of Termination. How to contact Apple and restore my account and apps?
I got the exact same mails and i got this mail today ' Thank you for your reply. As noted in the original notification, manipulating App Store chart rankings, user reviews, or search index is a violation of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (DPLA) and may result in the loss of your Developer program membership. We suggest you conduct internal investigations to ensure you and any third-parties you may work with are in compliance with the DPLA and App Store Review Guidelines.

We are unable to provide additional information at this time. Thank you for your efforts to make the App Store a safe and enjoyable experience for users and a great opportunity for all developers to be successful.' and I'm completely lost on what to do now. I had an app go viral and got many organic downloads and I got the first notice a few days after and I'm pretty sure that's what triggered the email. I answered them and explained that the downloads were only organic with proof but still they replied to me with this scary second email... Now I'm really scared of getting my account terminated for no reason. Did you manage to get your account back ? Is there any way to know what the actual issue is so i can fix it accordingly ?
