Thank you Dan for the answers.
Could it be possible that someone in google who looks after the challenge sends an email to the developer when he sees the ticket and confirms the app's name with the developer. This simple action may make developer feel much more comfortable I think.

Dan,
Thanks very much for the response.
I'm not sure if it would be feasible, but is there someone we could e- mail that could manually look to make sure everything submitted correctly and that the files submitted didn't somehow get corrupted in the process?

Hello, everyone!
Unfortunately the Challenge submission system doesn't have a way to externally track your submissions. It submits into the same system that Google uses to track all the help desk tickets for our products such as AdWords, so it's quite reliable. However, I'm sorry to say that system does not have a public interface.
There is a confirmation page when you submit, though. If you got that page, your app was successfully submitted. Errors in submissions redirect to a different page.
To answer some other questions I saw in this thread:
- To protect participants' privacy (including potential business plans), we will publicly announce only winners. - For teams and companies that submit, we will do all communications through the captain who entered the submission, except for identity and eligibility verification. - As to whether teams will be notified of their specific scores -- that's a great question. I'm not sure what the answer is, and I will try to find out.
Hope that helps,
- Dan

Maybe some of us could pitch in to help Google write a new submission page.
As for what Vetch said about the trust thing. One thing I have working for me is that all my submissions will require user accounts to test anything. If I see no user accounts created, I'll know right away that the contest is bogus.
And for those of you who get no recognition from this challenge and who see copies of your applications emerge later on, I'd say write in to news agencies and blogs explaining it. If enough people were to do that, it would be a "hot story" and really bad for Google. Hopefully Google realizes this could happen. But, if another company is already working on a similar idea, that's an unfortunate loophole.

Guys, it's up to us to make this submission page.
I found out this as really good one:http://openandroids.com
If you want some feedback you probably post your app. If you're making a top secret of your app go better keep it for youself.
p.s. Personally I think google is running out of time considering the quality of SDK. It's very far from product quality. So it's kind of expected they have no resources to support submissions much. And I am afraid they will run out of resources to check all application submitted for the challenge.- Hide quoted text -
