This means that the app meets the listing requirements described in [Requirements for listing an app](/en/apps/github-marketplace/creating-apps-for-github-marketplace/requirements-for-listing-an-app), but the publisher has not been verified, as described in [Applying for publisher verification for your organization](/en/apps/github-marketplace/github-marketplace-overview/applying-for-publisher-verification-for-your-organization). Apps with this badge cannot change their pricing plan until the publisher successfully applies for verification.
