This seems to be part of a PR effort on the part of people making the app-creator apps.
Apple is cracking down on spam apps, in which someone creates dozens or hundreds of nearly-identical apps. That's why the notice says "Your app provides the same feature set as many of the other apps you’ve submitted to the App Store, it simply varies in content or language."
So if you're a company creating one app for each of three dozen restaurants, yeah, but that's spam. Solution: each restaurant publishes their app under their own account. Problem solved!
But that would remove lock-in by the spam vendors, so instead they begin a PR effort.
- dkonofalski 9y agoThis is exactly it. Apple is simply requiring that apps be published under the proper owner's account rather than under the accounts of the app mills that generate them.
