The App Name you entered has already been used

Question

I am getting this error, I used the same name for other app but I have removed it from sale so it should allow me to enter the app name. It's not doing that for now. How can I take the same name for my second app(first one is already removed from sale).

Answer 1

Either you use the same bundle ID (so you can use the same name), or you use a (even slightly) different name. Sometimes an ! or splitting/combining words can make the difference

• MyApp vs MyApp!
• MyApp vs My App

If either using the same bundle ID or change the name are not an option, then unless Apple made some changes recently (which they often do, but I'm sure you've checked a thousand times), I'm afraid you're SOL.
