The gmail address as a red flag yes, but the package name? Nah.
Given that a lot of companies outsource app development to third-party companies that in many cases mostly reskin and extend an existing app that they sell to many clients, a package name that could be from a development shop likely wouldn't cause concern.
Sure Tik-Tok has a significant in-house development staff, but they're focused on the backend and client apps and Sales and Marketing may not have much access to them. It may be much easier for those departments to fully outsource that development to a vertical-market vendor, particularly if it's SaaS and the resulting app(s) aren't integrating with internal systems except via downloaded CSV files.
