Pending Termination Notice 3 months after App Transfer

Thank you for your post and appeal. We're investigating and will contact you in App Store Connect to provide further assistance. If you continue to experience issues during review, please contact us.

It has now been over 3 weeks since I submitted my appeal regarding this wrongful termination flag, and I have received no response from the App Review Board.

The uncertainty is incredibly distressing for a new business owner. I am living in fear that my account will be terminated simply because my appeal is sitting in a queue, unread.

To reiterate the core misunderstanding: Apple flagged my account for "evading review" with new submissions.

• Fact: The last submission for this app was August 4, 2025 (by the Seller).
• Fact: I acquired the app on September 9, 2025.
• Fact: I have never submitted a build for this app.

I am being penalized for the previous owner's actions that occurred a month before I even had access.

If an Apple Staff member sees this:

Please, could you look into my case? I am holding the Purchase Agreement and Bank Transfer records verifying the date of my acquisition. I am a bona fide purchaser, not a bad actor. I am ready to delete the app immediately to resolve this, but I need someone to review the timeline.

Is there any other way to escalate this before the 30-day window closes?

Thank you.

Dear Apple Support Team,

I am following up on the final payment for my terminated developer account. The account was terminated on February 20, 2026, and the app was removed from the App Store in mid-December 2025, so the last possible transaction occurred more than seven months ago. Nearly six months have now passed since termination.

To date, no Expected Payment Date has appeared in App Store Connect, and the outstanding balance remains unpaid.

I would appreciate clarification on two points:

1. Is the delay because the standard reconciliation process for terminated accounts is still in progress, or is it related to the bank account currently on file? I am aware that some developers have reported difficulties with payouts to accounts held at Russian banks, and I would like to understand whether this is a factor in my case.

2. If the banking details are the obstacle, I am ready to provide alternative bank account information in a different jurisdiction. Please let me know what documentation is required and how to submit it.

If the payment cannot be processed at this time, I would be grateful for written confirmation of that, together with the reason and the conditions that would need to be met for the funds to be released.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards, Daria

If your account is terminated then they will withhold all your funds. Check the wording in your termination email it will say something like this:

no further payments will be made to you pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Paid Applications agreement (Schedules 2 and 3 to the ADP Agreement).
