Assuming that two people or two companies have developed an app together: Is it possible to have both names of the developers/publishers in the app description? So that no-one has an advantage or disadvantage in the visibility?
It depends on the Publisher. You can clearly see that sometimes it is mentioned and sometimes not. Let`s take for Example Chillingo aka Clickgamer aka Electronic Arts and Gameloft aka Ubisoft on the iTunes Store. There are Cases where they do name the Developer: Gameloft: Rogue Planet Agharta Studio New update!

The first few Months half of the Planet believed that Angry Birds was done by Clickgamer. After hitting the first 500.000 Downloads it did change... I can`t remember when © Rovio Mobile was added but it was done a long Time after the Launch. I would go even that far that if Angry Birds would not have been the success it is today they wouldn`t had added the Rovio Mobile Brand Tag.
