> UPDATE: Attics has been approved and my account will no longer be terminated -- apparently my app had been copied across the App Store many times and it wasn't caught that mine was the original. Thank you everyone for spreading this and helping me keep my account!

"For this reason, your Apple Developer Program membership will be terminated. This appeal decision is final, and any subsequent appeals you file will be closed without review."

Just think about that. The developer can't even prove they're the original, not a copy, because Apple refuses to listen. (Not to mention the fact that Apple didn't even tell the developer the exact reason until _after_ the account was reinstated.)

Going public and hoping for attention is the only recourse.

I mean as an iOS developer I hope Apple is banning developers who steal/copy apps like in this case. Obviously they terminated the wrong dev, but they also fixed theor mistake quickly.

Yikes... I mean it's not that hard to look at the first uploaded date. Unfortunately they don't really have any pressure to do better in this area not like anyone can go to another app store.
