Reporting Copy of VLC app for sale in iOS App Store

Postby ichickon » 28 Feb 2015 20:53

Someone is selling the VLC app in the app store... and judging from the screen shots, it looks like it is simply someone who downloaded the code and compiled it as their own. I just wanted to pass it along as I didn't see an easy way to notify Apple...

here is the app:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/media-p ... 68993?mt=8

or just search for:
Media Player VLC Edition

Yep, thanks for the report. We asked Apple to remove it on February 8 and it's still there. In the past, it took them up to 3 months to remove such obvious violations.
