I'm sorry for your loss. Do you know anyone in the AppStore team, whom you have talked to during the good times? If not, do you know any fellow developers who might have such contact? Your best option is to tell your side of your story (your efforts/dependence) to a person, instead of assuming the official communications as the final word.

EDIT: In future, I suggest you invest time in establishing relationship with these teams (like going to WWDC), especially when you are betting your entire revenue on such marketplaces.

Thank you for this advice, this is really helpful. Unfortunately I don't have any good contacts, but I'm going to WWDC this year. Maybe some advices about how to establish this relationship? Never did this before.

If you are a developer, you can try these:

- Be active in Q&A sessions and community events. They might also have an expert community that you can join [1]

- Participate in alpha programs and connect with the product managers

- If your app is widely adopted, offer them to do a customer success story about unique iOS feature that you might have used. If you reach that stage, they are unlikely to ban your app without warning.
