Earlier in the week we told you about a new Gamestore app
for the iPhone which appeared on the Apple Store, we were able to
purchase the app for $0.99, but it didn’t have any functionality and was
reported to be an internal testing app from Apple
that had made its way
onto the app store by mistake.
Now it looks like Apple is
refunding customers who purchased the app, and they have sent the
following statement to people who bought the app, saying that the app
was published prematurely.
You
recently purchase the GameStore app. The app was made available for
sale prematurely. We apologize for the problem and have refunded the
purchase amount back to your account. These funds will be applied to
your original payment method within 5 business days.
Sincerely,
iTunes Store Customer Support

We
haven’t received a refund for the app as yet, and it seem strange that
Apple would say that the app was released prematurely if it was in fact
an internal testing application.
