"The App Name you entered has already been used" even though I just created the app

Tags:

I am trying to create my app on iTunes Connect, so I can add my game center features. When I reach the screen where I fill in the default language, app name, sku number, and bundle id, I receive an error message:

The App Name you entered has already been used.

Does this mean someone else has used this app id? I couldn't find the an app with this name on the iTunes Store anywhere.

I just started creating the app on iTunes Connect, so I definitely didn't use it.

Is there some way to verify that this is not a bug, and someone else has chosen the name?

Can I name an app the same as another app?

With Android everything is simpler! You cannot reserve a name but you can have multiple apps with the same name. So no need to reserve the name – you can definitely use it. Whether or not you want to have the same name as other apps is another question…

How do I claim an iOS app name?

Start the process of submitting an application with iTunes Connect, fill in the name of your new application, but don't complete the submission. As long as you enter the name and fill in all the relevant fields with any sort of data you can try to claim the given name.

How do I check if an app name is available?

Go to the Google Play Store for Apps. Search by app name. Click the result for your app.

Can I change app name in-App Store?

If the name change is significant but the functionality is not changing significantly, then the App Store won't have an issue. But if the app has been released, and the name change is significant and the functionality is significantly different, then the App Store will tell you to submit under a new bundle ID.

If you created an entry for the first App in iTunesConnect, even if it was never submitted or uploaded, then that name is locked to that iTunesConnect App permanently. That means if another user have choose same name already but still not upload and release app than you will not able to find on itunes store.

See Apple app store tips

The name you select for your app is perhaps one of the most important aspects to marketing your app and can distinguish your app on the App Store.
If you submit an app name which is already in use within the same geography in which your app is sold, you will be prompted to enter another name.

You can find more info in iTunesConnect Developer's guide

You can submit an app with the same name if you change the default language (for example, changing English (US) to English (Canada).
