I have uploaded my app through xcode and then added a it for testing but I'm not able to understand how to move ahead.
It has been quiet many days since I uploaded and I thought the subsequent steps will be automatic but I'm not able to see if Update has been done.
Here is my first app Uploaded which is showing ready for sale but I'm not able to get my later builds that I've uploaded here.
Here are list of my uploads with Ready for sale in 1st upload but nothing in my second upload.
I was missing at a silly part as most of the tutorial I saw were showing old UI and not clearly mentioning.All I had to do was to click here.On + version or platform and then add my new build.
And then save and submit to review

I'm working on a group project and we are trying to upload our flutter app to the Google Play Console. The other day, I finished all the processes for submitting the app and now we are waiting for the app approved. However, the app we submitted as the app bundle before doesn't have much functionality. But, one of our MVP was uploading to Google Play, so we just submitted the app having a simple frontend with no functionality to the "internal test", because I thought our app doesn't have enough functionality to release as a closed or open test.
My first question is if it says "pending publication", does it mean they are in the reviewing process and I should just wait for a few days? Another question is is it ok to update our app bundle while they are reviewing our app (since the current app bundle doesn't have much functionality)? And when is the better time to update app bundle next and and how to update? Is it just hit remove in the picture below and drop a new file??
"Pending publication" indeed means that your app is under review. These days, it can take as much as a week to have it reviewed.
You can indeed choose to create another release even while the first one is under review and upload a new App Bundle. In this case, the first release will be aborted in favour of the new one (assuming the two releases are in the same track). As someone pointed out, it is possible that it resets the waiting time for the review.
Regarding your screenshot, the fact that you can see a "Remove" button means that you probably already have created a new release (since existing published release are immutable). Maybe you created a new release in a different track?
Clicking "Remove" and uploading another version of the App Bundle should do it.
I'm trying to upload my first apple app and i've been not able to get further this point within last 7 days, so reaching out for help.
I do have app preset in itunesConnect and all the certificates available and am able to run app on my device, but when it comes time to create archive i can see it is building without errors and i can even see that .xcarchive file being created but neither Validate nor Submit buttons are available for me to click on.
Also when i click on that archive it says
Archive type: Generic Xcode Archive
and both version and identifier have Unspecified next to them.
Again, i've been trying to solve it for a week, and tried lots of stuff online as well as watching the course on pluralsight on deploing iOS apps to the apple store and had no luck figuring it out yet.
What am i missing?
I'm not sure what your problem really is, but this is how i would solve it..
1) Create smaller project may be just 1 single page app and try to do what you want with it all the way to the appstore
2) once you got 1 to work add your project to this smaller project and see where your issues are..
Hope that helps!
I uploaded a new version of my app in iTunes connect and I do not want and/or need it - how do I get rid of it?
Currently the status shows Prepare For Upload with yellow dot..
I want to delete new version of app, which shows status of Prepare For Upload and not the old one which shows ready for sale status and new one is already available in store.
Is it possible to delete new version of app in iTunes Connect, without affecting old one?
Another work around for this is to simply go to the version you want to delete and update the version number.
I.e. in my case we had created an update for version 3.1.2, but now wanted the update to be version 3.2. Instead of deleting the newly created 3.1.2 version (which I don't think is possible), we updated the version number.
You cannot delete a new version you have created from iTunesConnect before you have uploaded a binary. You can only delete full apps - before or after review.
Apple give a fairly full description of what is going on here without saying explicitly that you cannot delete versions. They do say you cannot remove a platform once created - and they seem to work like versions.
I suppose they never imagined people would create a new version by mistake or as an exercise - but we do!
The only reason I can think of is as a safety measure so that you cannot strand people who have bought your app for a platform that you then remove. I am guessing versions work like platforms in the background and so Apple cannot give us the functionality for one and not the other.
You don't have to worry, Prepare to Upload status means the itunes is asking you to tell that you are ready to upload binary and click the button Ready to Upload Binary.. Your build must be rejected by someone, or you haven't yet uploaded any.
If you want to upload a new build you have to click Ready to Upload Binary, then the status will turn into Waiting for Upload, then if you upload the binary successfully it will turn into Upload Received, then it goes into Waiting for Review, next come In Review, then your status might be Rejected, or Ready For Sale, or Approved(It needs to be released manually)..
I hope above clears your doubt..
Update -
The process has been changed a lot, though You can't delete a Binary, you need to upload new binary by changing the build number if you don't want to change the Version number of the build. For the process of upload, we don't have option to make it Ready to Upload anymore.. You follow the following steps..
Upload a Binary of a specific version from XCode.
Check Activity Tab in itunesconnect of your app, it should show the uploaded binary in processing mode, it will get processed in sometime.
Click on your App Version which might be in Prepare to Submit state, go inside and add your recently uploaded and processed build and click on Save.
Then Submit for Review
Cheers.
You have to go to manage your applications and go to your app. There is a details button and click on binary details under the heading links.
there should be something like "reject the binary" on that screen.
I have used itunes connect to add the app summary one night. The release date was given as that day. But when i had to upload the binary the first page i encountered was one that asked me about whether i use encryption . I use only authentication encryption so i selected that option but couldn't proceed as the page kept loading and then the session timed out. I kept retrying but the same thing kept happening. So i tried to do it the next day but the option to upload has been removed from the app summary. This could be because the release date was given as yesterday. Now how do i upload the app binary ? :( There seems to be no option to edit the release date.
I don't want to delete the app summary and add it again as then i wont be able to use the same app name. Plz help! Many thanks in advance!
The upload date doesn't make a difference here. Try logging into https://itunesconnect.apple.com and select Manage your applications. Then fill out the details of the app and click ready to upload binary.
From Xcode 4 organiser upload your binary signed with the correct dev certificate and if all goes well your app status on itunesconnect will be changed to "Waiting for review"
I had already filled the details and clicked the ready to upload binary button.
I later found Application Loader , a Mac Application , which guided me through the uploading build process. The Application Loader app is available on the iPhone SDK 3.2 or later development system. Hence the problem is solved.
I was hoping someone can answer a simple question for me...
If you create an iphone app and get it approved for sale, what happens if you add updates to it? Do you have to submit this for approval too?
How does the whole process of updating existing apps work?
Assistance would be very much appreciated, thanks
Yes, every update requires a new round of approval. Once your first app is live, the management page for your app offers an "Add Version" button, which takes you through a similar process to the original app, but with options to document changes.
You do indeed need to have updates approved. So once your initial application is created in iTunes Connect, uploaded and approved by apple and available through the store, you can easily submit new versions.
You log into iTunes Connect and click Manage my Applications.
Select the application and click the Add Version button.
Fill out details of the update (such as the new version number, what's changed, any new screenshots, etc).
Upload your new binary via the application loader.
Wait for review.
The process of update is almost exactly like the process of creating and pushing out the first release. It's really quite simple, tbh.
The update process is nearly identical to the original submission, except that you don't have to reenter all the metadata (but you can modify almost all of it, except for the app ID, during update submission).
Update review times have historically varied by large amounts, either slower or faster than the original app's approval time, on the order of 1 day to 1 month. Don't count on it being any less.
