Report Developer for iOS App Store Violation?

There is a developer who has re-branded a similar app as an "update" to his app. In addition, he has required users of his "app" to make an in-app purchase before requesting support. Is the following still the correct address to report this crook: appstorenotices@apple.com

It used to be that anyone could report such a violation but that link seems to limit it to the developer whose app has been just copied and renamed. Looks like Apple no longer cares about such violations. Too bad.

Hello romad,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're wanting to report a potential violation with an app developer in the App Store. If you feel that this app violations your intellectual property rights, you'll want to use the link below to report it, rather than the mentioned email address:

If you're not reporting an intellectual property right violation I suggest reaching out to Apple Support instead:

Take care.
