> 3. Relative also uses same "com.kapeli.*" bundle ID

Just saying: anyone can freely create any App ID they want. I just successfully created "com.google.android.nougat" as a test.

I'm fairly sure you don't have the same user and CC on file as they do.
But it proves bundle IDs can only be treated as circumstantial evidence at most.
So you combine that with the same CC number on file, and the same development machines, and now you have a very good chance the same person is responsible.
Do you expect to use this identifier to make money (in a fraudulent way) and Google not caring over several years?
