Hi,

Our situation is as follows: We have a Dutch app(Also one product page - Localization: Dutch) that can be downloaded by anyone in any country. The current app has a unique name and can be found and downloaded in every country.

Now we want to change the app name but we see that the name we want to use has already been taken up by some languages/regions.

What happens if people search for our new app name in a certain region/language, but the name has already been claimed in that region/country. Can our customers find our app? I am therefore curious about the behavior that arises when someone searches for our new app name that is already taken in a certain region

Kind regerds,

Maybe I miss something, but you should not be authorised to use an existing name. And the other company may request Apple to withdraw your app from the Appstore.

But in such a case, both apps would appear in a search. That occurs if you have an existing app "AnApp" and you call yours "AnApp2".
