I’m trying to upload an app to the app store and getting the following error (which is easy enough to understand):

The App Name you have entered has already been used

The app is not on the iTunes. Is there any way to figure out who owns the app or what bundle id it is associated with?

    App names can be reserved for 180 days (6 months) as detailed here: iTunes Connect Developer Guide

    After creating your app and it is in the state Prepare For Upload or
    Waiting For Upload, you have 180 days (6 months) from your creation
    date in iTunes Connect to deliver a binary to Apple. If you do not
    deliver a binary before the 180-day deadline, your app is deleted
    from iTunes Connect. As a result of this deletion, your app name can
    be used by another developer and you cannot reuse the app name, SKU
    or bundle ID. See “Deleting an App” to learn more about the
    ramifications of App Delete.

    This may be why the app is not in the store. There’s no official way to find out who owns that name, or what the bundle ID is. That is all private to the developer’s development account.
