App name reservation in app store through itunes connect

Question

if I am successfully able to create an app with a name "ABC" in ITunes Connect, does this guarantee that name is reserved for me for 180 days? I have not submitted the app for review. all i have done is fill in bundle id etc. and clicked Save. What if another apple developer creates an app with same name "ABC" in itunes connect? will apple prevent it to be used or is it a matter who "submits for review" first ?

Answer 1

yes, this name is reserved for you and no one can create new iTunes connect app with the sam name.

Also the limit of 180 days is gone according to the following links:
