My app is on Prepare for Submission, and I want to delete this app.
Already removed all countries from Territory Availibity.
But I cannot see the Delete Button.
What should I do?
At least one version of the app needs to be online at least once
App must be offline
Only Agent role can see the Delete option

Suppose the following situation:
A user buys an app
this app is removed from the store temporarily, by changing the availability date to a year in the future. Note that the app was not deleted from the store, it is just hidden by a change on the availability date.
the user deletes the app
the user regrets deleting and wants to restore the app from icloud.
will the user be able to do that? and what about apps that were completely deleted from the store?
thanks.
The other answer is incorrect. Unless you indicate in iTunes Connect that the app was removed for legal reasons (Rights and Pricing section) the user will still be able to re-download the app from iCloud.
If the app is not displayed in the app store(developer hide or remove), user can not re-install it after deleting, until developer make it displayed in app store again.
if developer deleted the app completely from app store , that means the app is not displayed int the app store, user can not re-install it yet, but the developer can re-upload the app again using the same app-id.
Can or not can re-install app depends on whether the app is displayed in app store
Also depends on whether it is the same app-id
We have a partner that is actually owning our app on it's iTunes Connect account. We are actually developping the v2 of this app which will be included in our iTunes Connect account, it's the same app, just a new release.
Actually the app is at "removed from sales" status in our partner iTunes Connect account and people who have the app can still use it, everything is OK.
But we can't reuse the same app name in our iTunes Connect because the app name is already in use.
So, we are asking our partner to completly delete the app, then we can use the name & publish our own app. The question is :
If our partner completly delete the app, will it continue to work on every user devices?
I already looked at the iTunes developer guide, but it's not really clear, and Apple doesn't answer clearly too ..
Deleting an App If you have created an app in iTunes Connect that you no longer need to see or manage, you can delete it from your iTunes Connect view.
IMPORTANT: Deleting your app will not allow you to reuse your SKU or App Name in the same account again and you will not be able to restore your app once deleted. If you have uploaded a binary or set up this app for the iAd Network, your Bundle ID will not be reusable either.
If you are selling your app to another developer for their own distribution and need to remove it from your iTunes Connect account, we recommend that you use App Delete so the App Name will be freed up for their use.
So, does someone already deleted (not removed from sales) an app from the iTunes Connect ?
Does the app is still working on devices ?
Thanks for answers :)
Yes it will continue to work on the users phone's, but they will not be able to install your app again from iCloud.
I already filled the all details for app through my iOS Developer account and submit the app for review to the app store but for some reasons i take my app back and delete all the details for particular app from my developer account but now when i again trying to upload the app for review it shows the Name already exist because of my app is submit with the same name again how can i over come this problem i want to upload my app with the same name again.
Thanks In Advance...
It seems you deleted your app, so you can't reuse the App Name.
From iTunes Connect Developer Guide:
If you have created an app in iTunes Connect that you no longer need
to see or manage, you can delete it from your iTunes Connect view.
IMPORTANT: Deleting your app will not allow you to reuse your SKU or
App Name in the same account again and you will not be able to
restore your app once deleted. If you have uploaded a binary or set
up this app for the iAd Network, your Bundle ID will not be reusable
either.
how to delete app from app store? I don't find any link there. Where is the link.
You go to iTunes Connect, select manage applications, select the app you want to delete > rights and pricing> deselect all app stores.
This will set your app to 'developer removed from sale'.
I believe you can delete the app entirely after this, and the 'delete app' button should now be added to the first screen after you select the app. If you do delete the app, you will never be able to use the app name again. If you plan on using it, just 'developer removed from sale'.
In iTunesConnect, go to Manage Your Applications, select the application, select Rights and Pricing, don't select any stores.
Note: Apps cannot be deleted until there is one approved version. If there is not an approved version, the app record can NOT be deleted.
The "delete app" button will just not be there in this case. So don't create an App for "testing" and expect you can remove it later on !
Is there anyway to change the app name in iTunes connect. It took me 3 or 4 goes to try and upload my app the first time and somehow I made a bit of a mess of it.
iTunes Connect is now telling that the app name has been used and cannot be reused. Is there anyway around this ?
The actual app name that appears on the device is correct, I edited this on the info.plist.

As of right now, no. You can change the App's name when you submit an update, or simply create a new App in iTunes connect. You might want to submit a feature request to Apple at http://bugreport.apple.com.
From the Deleting an App section of Apple's iTunes Connect Guide guide:
If you delete your app, you cannot reuse your SKU or app
name in the same account again, and you cannot restore the app you
have deleted. If you have uploaded a binary or set up this app for the
iAd network, your Bundle ID cannot be reused.
Next they mention this:
If you are selling your app to another developer for their own
distribution and need to remove it from your iTunes Connect account,
we recommend that you use App Delete so that the app’s name will be
freed for their use.
So if you are more attached to your app name than your developer account you could start a new one and get the name back.
In Build and Analyze 93 Marco discusses some reasons and logistics of having 2 developer accounts. As I remember: Apple does not allow 2 accounts with one tax ID but if you have your personal and an LLC for instance you'll be able to setup multiple.
If your application is in Waiting for review mode then you can change your app name inside Viewdetails->Metadata and Uploads->app name
If your application is in live mode then you need to submit new version with new name.
It looks like you can edit it when in an 'editable state', but I have not tried it yet.
