This seems shady to me.

I have apps on the iOS store as well (just like many of you) so I am aware of the emails you get from Apple telling you that your Apple developer account is going to expire. I have never heard of another developer having a problem with renewing their credentials. If there was an actual bug, I don't doubt more developers would be affected.

Honestly, I bet he forgot to renew, his apps got pulled, and now he's scrambling to cover his losses.

He renewed in time, it was Apple that made the mistake.

"Three days later I was able to get a response from Apple that verified this was, indeed, a problem with their internal software and that there was nothing I could do about it." Quoth the article.

Maybe not.

In the comments someone mentions a similar situation that resolved when his original account expired.
