Just to add some context on why I ended up buying a developer account in the first place. I previously had a really bad experience with Google Play. My developer account was terminated because Google linked it to other accounts that I had nothing to do with, at least as far as I'm aware. I tried to resolve it, but couldn't get anywhere. That experience made me really hesitant to use my personal identity for another developer account, because I was worried the same thing could happen again. That's why I ended up buying an existing Apple Developer account. Looking back, I realize that was a bad decision. I wasn't trying to distribute malware or do anything malicious. I just wanted to publish an app I'd been working on. I'm not asking Apple to restore that account. I just want to move forward with my own legitimate company and publish my app properly. I'm worried that one bad decision could affect my ability to publish apps for years, even after doing everything the right way. Has anyone actually been through something similar and managed to get their app approved?
