(Not sure if this is completely on topic for stackoverflow - if not, let me know!)
We're considering setting up a "label"/sub-brand for our company on app store. Has anyone else tried this? Do you need to set up a separate bank account etc to do so?
(I've googled, and tried mailing Apple, but no luck).

I don't really know how to explain this, so bare with me. But our Facebook pixel detected traffic from another domain. We only have one domain. We went to see what other domain it could possibly be referencing. It turns out, this other domain was a carbon copy of our site. The only thing that was different was the web address. Does anyone have a clue what is going on? It's as though someone is retargeting our customers to a mirrored website.
We tested the foreign site by placing an order using store credit given to ourselves on the backend of our site. The order went through and instead of showing the order was placed in the US, it said it was placed in Turkey.
This is over my head and I have no clue where to start solving this issue.
I've actually seen this happen to someone else before. I'm not sure what the motive behind doing something like this is - but if the orders from the cloned store are being paid to your gateway, then the upside is that you're not losing money over it. However, I do believe that the intent is somewhat malicious.
The most logical reason I have been able to come up with is that if your store has high amounts of traffic, is well known, and has a good SEO rating, the people that are cloning your store are trying to "SEO-Hijack" you in a sense. Essentially piggybacking off of your site because of the SEO ratings it already has in order to boost their own and potentially turn it into a separate store/website later.
This isn't necessarily something that can be fixed by BigCommerce since the copy of your store isn't on the platform whatsoever, since they are essentially just piggybacking off of your SEO rating. The best option here would be to do a domain WHOIS lookup for their domain and report it as fraud to their registrar as an attempt to get legal action to be taken or a cease & desist.
Sorry that this is happening to you!
Here's a helpful explanation that I was able to find and a helpful blog post on how to prevent it and the steps to take.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about this! As blurfus suggested above -- Please the BigCommerce Support team to report this as soon as you can. You can find their contact information here: https://support.bigcommerce.com/s/#contact
I'v just uploaded my application to app store. Searched for this for a while, but couldn't find an answer.
In app store it shows like "Application name" BY realname. Is there any way to change that? I know that changing seller name is not very easy, but i have seen individual developers without showing real name in after BY. So how can i change that?
Individual developers can get a DBA to do business as something besides their real name. You'll need to get in contact with Apple by email and they'll request that you fax them copies of your DBA to verify that yo have the right to use it, and they'll switch the name at their discretion. They may have an issue with you switching from a personal-type account (your real name) to a business-type account (the DBA), so it might be worth emailing them ahead of time to see if they'll allow you to do it without creating a new developer account.
You are an Individual Developer. Therefore your full name is shown. If you want to change it, join Apple Developer Program as Company Developer.
This morning we are not able to see the newly added bundle ids in the drop when we attempt to add a new app!
Is there a limit on the number of bundle id's one developer account can create? Anyone else facing this situation?
Thanks
Yup, me too. Although others I created before showed up. Let's wait.
I'd assume the following:
Apple does not synchronize their databases in real time but every x hours or days.
Someone has to review the App IDs manually (unlikely).
They have a real database problem over there. But with the large number of Developers, I doubt they'd leave such a heavy bug in there.
As a sidenote: SO is probably the wrong place for such questions. The Apple Discussion Forums are much better suited for that.
I want to know if there is a possibility to add a team member in iPhone Developer Portal that will have permissions (see / modify / update) ONLY to one application.
The reason - there is a big company (that has many applications in the App Store) that uploaded one of my applications and I have hard time to send an update to the application (can't access the guy that is responsible for all the iPhone applications).
I want to ask them to add me as a team member, but they might agree only if I won't be able to see/touch any other application except the one that I have developed...
Thank you.
I don't believe this is possible; there are no per-app permissions.
The available "roles" are explained here:

It seems a bit odd if they trust you to write an application that they've published under their corporate identity, but don't trust that you'll only change what you're meant to. Either way is seems the only solution to your problem is likely to be a non-technical one; you need to find a way to get to that guy, whether it's appealing to his better nature, or finding a path to someone more senior who can lean on him.

We like using the android platform for a few reasons.
1) Tracking "company resources". If you are going to see hookers and you have a company phone, then we know about it. We if you are kidnapped, then we know your last location.
2) Remote wipe If a phone is stolen, it could have company passwords or other intellectual property on them. This is important to our information retention policy.
