Have you searched for any forks of the allegedly infringing files or repositories? Each fork is a distinct repository and must be identified separately if you believe it is infringing and wish to have it taken down.
Yes, and I found no additional infringing forks.
Is the work licensed under an open source license?
Yes
Which license?
GNU General Public License v3 (or any later version), except for embedded images covered by Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.
How do you believe the license is being violated?
The first check-in made to the forked repository removed the LICENSE/ directory and the NOTICE.html file, which must be included in any derivative work according to paragraph 5(b) of the GPL. It also removed files assets/LICENSE and assets/NOTICE.html that enabled users to see its license when running the app, violating paragraph 5(d) of the GPL. In addition, by removing the LICENSE/credits.txt file, the offender violated the license terms applicable to the embedded images.
What changes can be made to bring the project into compliance with the license? For example, adding attribution, adding a license, making the repository private.
The LICENSE/ directory and the NOTICE.html file must be restored with their original contents. The user interface of the modified app must allow users to review the license terms of the original app and embedded artwork, and attribute the original code and artwork to their actual authors.
What would be the best solution for the alleged infringement?
Other Change

Either (a) bring the forked project into compliance with the original licenses as described above, or (b) remove the offending fork.

The offender's username is wzh442718973.
