After a new version was submitted for review, due to incorrect operation, another version was created, which looks like a closed beta version. This version is currently in draft status and has not been submitted for review.
How can I delete the draft version of an app on AGC?
The daft version cannot be deleted. If you want to make any change to the draft version, you can go and make the change directly before submitting it for further review.

I have uploaded an app on app-store. And I have just forget to remove an alert in it. Now I want just to update the old app without new version. So please help me to do this.
You can't. You must submit a new version for review. This new version must have a higher version number than the current version. There is no way to simply update an app.
There's only two ways in which you can upload the same app on App Store:
Upload a new version.
You'll have to delete your old app and upload
the new one. In this your waiting queue will start from the day one. For example: if you've uploaded your app 2 days before and if you remove it now and upload the new build you are back to day 0 and you'll have to wait for 7 more days.
Uploading a new version is the good idea if your Alert is not very critical.
If the version you uploaded is not yet approved and is still in review, you can go to the 'Binary Details' page and 'Reject the Binary' Then the status of your app will change to 'Developer Rejected'. In this case you can re-upload the new binary having the same version number.
If the version is already approved, you'll only have to create a new version.
Update for my app on appstore was just accepted by Apple (and held by developer==me because i used this option when submitting app to review).
If i release this version to appstore, is it possible to switch back to older version (also approved by apple) without submitting it again to review?
Its not possible. You can submit the old version if you have your source code for old version. You can change the version to new one and compile source, submit to App store. I don't think they wont review it.
No. It is not possible to revert to a previously submitted version.
I have an iPhone app that's been approved but has a release date around 7 days from now. I want to add some very minor bug fixes so I'm going to submit a new binary.
If I submit the update, does that affect my ability to release the original version on its scheduled date, e.g. if the update was still in review at that stage?
Thanks.
Your current version which has been approved will be released as scheduled regardless of if you submit an update for review. For your pending update, just add a new version with the version number bumped up and submit the binary as normal
Yes. If you need to change the binary, or in your case, reject the approved release, you will need to resubmit your binary and start the review process all over. You won't need to change any information with your meta information, but rejecting the binary effectively loses your place in line and you will have to start over. Your only option would be to wait until the app releases, then ship an update as soon as you are live.
If I push an app update to the app store, but choose "I will release new version" when submitting. If my update is rejected for some reason, is the current version already approved going to be taken out of the store?
Anyone had experience with this?
I've got no experience with this exact situation, but I have submitted updates and then invalidated them myself. The original is unaffected until the new version is approved - if it gets rejected, they would just expect you to send a corrected version instead.
The only reason I could see Apple pulling the original would be if they discovered something pretty nasty in the update and decided to check the original as well in case they'd missed it, but that is total speculation.
I have one app where an update was rejected over a year ago. I haven't resubmitted the update yet and the original is still selling in the app store.
I just got my app approved....but realised there is a bug that will need a small fix. I do not want to release this app with the bug.
I am unsure how to get this fixed. If I submit another binary it will go through the review process again. I will also need to put a new version (1.1).
If I still have to submit a new version, can I directly release the new version (1.1) and completely ignore version 1.0?
Thanks in advance for advise..

You would have to reject your binary for 1.0 and resubmit either a 1.0 or greater binary.
You can set the release date of an approved app into the future and then submit an update. If the update is approved, pull the release date back. The current version need never be visible in the App store.
If you put in your comments field that this is a critical bug fix, then there is a possibility (but no guarantee) that the review period may be a few days shorter.
You don't need to change version. You can keep version 1.0 and change build 1.1. Then Submit app for review process.
If your application has been approved, then it's available in the appStore.
The only solution for you to fix this bug is to send a new version of your application with unfortunately the Apple review process. (We just got the same issue)
From here, 1.0 will be ignored for new downloaders and those who have installed it would have to update the app.
