Contact a lawyer. IANAL, but, from what I have seen in your post, this does not look like your fault - Apple wasted your time for appeals by slow answers, and just let the time for appeals run out while the ball was on their side. This is a classical instance of "red tape", so you can look if your country has any anti-red-tape law, and demand extensions of the deadlines based on that.

Source: similar problem in the Philippines when trying to obtain a sanitary permit for my business (don't ask why), and a government-mandated anti-red-tape instruction at the clerk's desk.

I haven't heard about this "Anti-red tape" law but looking it up it seems to be specific for publicly managed affairs and services.

> It is hereby declared the policy of the State to promote integrity, accountability, proper management of public affairs and public property as well as to establish effective practices aimed at the prevention of graft and corruption in government.

I don't see this applying for Apples case as they're a private entity and also they own the ecosystem.

In short, if you want to be in Apples ecosystem, it's a privilege not a right.
