The other Sean Byrne doesn't exist

Apple denied a man named Sean Joseph Byrne access to App Store Connect, claiming he matched someone on a U.S. government restricted-party list, but the person on the list appears to be a fictitious employee created by Mac Aviation, an Irish aircraft-parts company prosecuted in 2009 for illegally exporting U.S. equipment to Iran. Despite providing extensive identity documentation including his passport and driver's license, Apple has not resolved the case or corrected the erroneous match. The listing serves as an export-control restriction rather than a general sanctions designation, yet it continues to affect Byrne's ability to access Apple's services.
