Nothing happens when submitting the APP creation form with all the required information.  
Checking the console this is the error:

You are trying to use a restricted or already taken name. (Twitch is reserved for example)

There is a known issue where it doesn’t surface name creation errors in the UK

@BarryCarlyon thanks for your reply. So, the name is unique per user or globally?

Ok, thanks. Maybe a clear error message can be more useful.
