Pirated Apps in the App Store 13 years ago
As of this morning, the first app mentioned in my blog post is no longer available for purchase, and the second application is now only for sale in Egypt.

As of this morning, the first app mentioned in my blog post is no longer available for purchase, and the second application is now only for sale in Egypt.
Unfortunately, the bundle id is just stored in a plist file, and it's actually quite easy to re-sign an app bundle with a different profile after modifying it.
Apple changed their policy on screenshot updating back in January, so I'm pretty sure they approved the app and the screenshots together.
Correct, they are simply updating the image resources and resigning the app. The code hasn't been touched (though the code is from a two year old version of the app).
Thanks for sharing that link. Apple has another link to submit copyright issues, but I hadn't found that one yet!
