In the linked thread it is not obvious that it was meant that a
developer can not un-publish an application. I understood it as being
about un-publishing source code released under GPL.

In your case, did you manage to get in touch with the publisher of your app ?
(and even if he could not unpublish, he can at the very least update
the application description to explain the case...)
