I have submitted my app and it is accepted from a company profile. But on app store it is showing an owner name instead of company name? Can anyone please define what is the main reason of this thing?
Thanks in advance
Seller Name Guidelines
First it is necessary to understand the guidelines for a seller name on the App Store. Your options for seller name depend on which kind of Apple developer account you initially setup. You can either create an account as an individual or a company/organization. As an individual the only option is your legal name. As a company or organization you are required to use your legal entity name. In order to register as a company/organization a D-U-N-S number is required which ensures your company or organization is legally registered.
If you wish to change your seller name, you must operate within those restrictions. Apple hasn’t always enforced these guidelines, but as the App Store has matured these policies have become required. Also, it doesn’t seem possible to convert an Apple developer account registered as an individual to an account registered as company/organization. If that is something you need, you should try App Transfer which is explained below.
Contact Apple
The easiest way to change your seller name is to contact Apple developer support. If there is a typo or inaccuracy in your seller name they should be willing to change it. Back before I released Card Share my individual account had a seller name for a fictitious entity that did not exist. Since it wasn’t my legal name, Apple support was willing to make the name change. I contacted support and within 24 hours my seller name was changed and updated in the App Store. The results from this method may vary, but I highly recommend direct communication with Apple as a first approach.
Here is the email to contact Apple about seller name changes and other iTunes related support:

Only one option for you to contact Apple Support.
Submit your request on below link:
https://developer.apple.com/contact/submit/
If you registered as a Company, you should see the Company Name on the App Store.
The only way to change that is by contacting Apple Support.

Heres the issue, Im 17 years old and my uncle created an account for me for publishing my apps because Im very interested in developing in iOS, obviously the account is at his name because at first I tried to pay one at my name with his credit card and I got rejected because the names didnt match so we made the one of him.
My recently publish is at his name (in the sellers name), the copyright its at my name but the sellers dont and I want to know if its possible to change it for mine or maybe not my name, only a nickname.... and if dont, where can I send an E-mail or something, please you can imagine how frustrating is that the sellers name is not yours when you put all your effort..... Thanks a lot!!
You can only change the developper name by contacting Apple support :
see this blog article
and this answer on SO :
Changing or Removing Developer Name in App Store
You may want to look into the iTunes Connect Developer Guide, specifically the section about transferring apps to another organization: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/TransferringAndDeletingApps.html
Disclaimer: I haven't used this method myself. I've transferred apps by letting and old developer account expire, since it was the most convenient, the least hassle, and the only option available at that time. But that may not be the case for you, so definitely look up the transfer option.

I need to develop an application for a Client who later wish to install this app, customize iPad wallpaper and some other stuff to suit to business needs and send it to his Customers.
The tricky part is I can not suggest him to distribute this application via Adhoc Distribution (Using Normal 100 device limitation account) as He says apple itself is one of their potential customers.
Enterprise Distribution isn't required for reasons that His company does not entitles for this developer program.
Now my question is If I go for B2B distribution model - The end user are essentially not the one who will download the application rather my client himself will do that and give them preinstalled application on iPad.
What options do I have here ? Any help suggestion will be appreciated. I have already gone through the various volume Purchase programs documentation but I could not figure out if B2B distribution exactly matches my requirement or not.
So, let's see if I'm understanding this:
You are making an app for someone else. We'll call you the 'developer'.
Your customer is paying you to build that app. We'll call them the 'publisher'.
The publisher will not be selling to the public, they will instead be installing the app on devices, configuring them and then selling the entire solution (i.e. device and pre-installed app) to their customers (we'll call them 'end users').
Yes? And since one of the publisher's potential end users is Apple, you have a heightened sense of compliance with the rules (which you should be doing anyway).
So in this case, the publisher distributes the app via the B2B model and makes themselves the party it is allowed to be sold to, restricting the availability to those devices. This will require the publisher to create an Apple ID to manage their VPP participation.
Now, that's assuming the end users aren't going to be using these iPads for other functions. If they are, then you'd need to allow those users direct access and perhaps re-figure the business model a bit. That would also allow the end-users to re-install the app if they needed to, etc...

My App is rejected by the reason :
"We found your app inappropriately unlocks or enables additional functionality with mechanisms other than the App Store, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines"
"It may be appropriate to revise your app to use the In App Purchase API to provide content purchasing functionality. "
What I have done is as below:
As this app is for my specific customer companies to use, I only want the companies who get the Invitation Code from me to use my app. There is no charge. I don not know is it necessary to use the In App Purchase API instead? if it is true , can you give me some tips?
Your application cannot be used by members of the general public, and thus does not belong in the App Store.
If you only intend your application to be made available to a few specific people, you should use Ad-Hoc Distribution to make it available to them.
Explain the purpose to the review team, sometimes they listen.
Also, maybe have that message as a "login page" instead. Have a username and password rather than a verification code. The verification code message may look more like you are selling the app behind the AppStore. Also provide the review team with an access code / login details if you haven't already so they can actually review the app.

I developed an app for the company who sells professional e-books by their website. In order to keep the content in sync with web data, app enforce login/registration and without that doesn't provide any functionality.
This is the reason why it has been rejected for Review Guidelines 17.2 Apps that require users to share personal information, such as email address and date of birth, in order to function will be rejected
My question is: is there a way to convince Apple to accept an app?
It is directed to the very specific proffessionals.
In the future the company want to add the possibility to sync books available on their website.
Also the books bought by in app purchase would be available on their website for the user account.
Isn't that enough reasons for Apple to accept this app? My client strongly want to have an account based app, the whole system was designed for that.
There is possibility to track user by udid but still it is not good solution because it is deprecated and Apple rejects apps using UDID for tracking reasons.
Does anyone have similar situation recently?
You say:
"app enforces login/registration and without that doesn't provide any
functionality."
Apple says:
"Apps that require users to share personal information in order to
function will be rejected"
So the answer is kinda obvious.
The app should provide (at least) some basic functionality without sharing personal data.
Maybe some book previews? 1 or 2 free books? App info? Why not apple's-bookstore? Does the website (before seeing anything) force you to signup too? Otherwise just make a web-app.

Is it possible to change the seller name that shows up in the app store (name that shows up above app name)? Currently it says my name, but I want it to show my business name. Does apple allow this change? If so, how?
If you want to change your developer program membership from a personal to corporate membership, contact Apple. Many developers who started out as individuals have since changed to a corporate membership.
Apple may allow changing your developer enrollment if you incorporate your business under your desired company name and have legal incorporation papers ready to show Apple.
When you signed up, you had an option to select a business or a name and it said you couldn't change this in the future.
Please try to follow Apple's faq on iTunes connect:
