The content on your wiki, as most wikis at Wikia, is CC BY-SA. The parts briefly are:
 * CC = Creative Commons
 * You license everyone to use your material. They don't have to ask you, because you've already consented. They can also edit it without asking you, because you've already consented. You cannot revoke the license. Even if you stop publishing it, the stuff that you published under the license before is available forever under that license.


 * BY (the word)
 * If anyone uses your material, with or without edits, they have to attribute the source. For a wiki, which typically has many editors, it's usually enough to link to the source.


 * SA = Share-Alike
 * Anyone who republishes the material, with or without edits, has to offer it under the same terms as above.

There's no restriction on anyone charging for the material. It's sometimes described as "free speech, not free beer." There are CC license types that don't allow charging for re-use (CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-SA, where NC = non-commercial), but they mostly don't exist at Wikia.

So this guy is violating both the BY and the SA parts of the license. He's not violating any NC part, because the NC part doesn't exist.

Since Wikia technically is the publisher, you should be able to let Wikia know. Wikia can decide if they want their lawyers to ask Apple to take the app down. However, under the TOU, the individual wiki editors, including you, are still the "owners" of the material, so you can ask Apple yourself. It would probably be more effective to ask Wikia for help and see what they say.
