The app was working, during review. Then once approved its behavior changed and the scam started.

This is trivial to implement and done by many developers.

Apple doesn't approve each release of an app?

They do, but in these cases the binary never changed. A value returned to it from a web API changed, or a date passed, or the users are outside of Cupertino, etc.

Are there any automated approaches to solve this type of bait and switch?
