My app is in ready for sale state on 13th apr. 2016 but still not reflecting on app store. it's 48 hours complete. In itunes connect it showing Ready for sale and I've not set any Available date for release this version.
One of the reason for this can be you are in a country where your app is not available. Go to iTunes Connect :
My Apps -> Select Your App -> Pricing and Availability -> Availability -> Edit
Check if your countries check box is selected. If not and you want app to be available in your country then select the check box and save the changes.
By default your app should be available world-wide, but it's still a valid point.
Another issue could be that you still have to sign/agree to the distribution agreement (if it's a paid app).
It would certainly help us to answer your question, if we could get a link to your app. Is it a brand new app or an update? Also what happens, if you click on the link direct in iTunes Connect? (Under App Store Information / App Information)
Finally i resolve this by make simple text change in what's new text and save it after 1-2 hours it reflect on app store.

A co-worker removed our app from purchase due to a bug in it.
The new version is now reviewed and I want to re-enlist the app. I just can't find how.
If you check the Status History of your app, it will say for the latest version: Developer Removed From Sale*
With the footnote pointing out:
*This status indicates that the app has been removed from sale in all App Stores worldwide. To resume selling this app, go to the Rights and Pricing page and select at least one App Store where it will be sold.
Go to the app overview, and select Rights and Pricing:
Then click the Select all button or make a more specific selection in the matrix below.
I developed iOS app, and I uploaded binary of my app on 19th August 2013.
Today(23rd August 2013) I got mail from Apple saying that "your app is Ready for sale" with Green dot in my iTunes Connect. but it doesnot show any links to my app in in App Store in my iTunes Connect account
This is my first version of app,
Here is screenshot of my rights and pricing section from my iTunes Connect account.
How should I live my app in app store or it will be automatically live in the store ?
:
Thanks in advance.
Just happened to me too.
Go back into app description, and make a simple
edit. Save it.
Two minutes later it will be ready for sale.
I might be wrong, can't remember connect that well, been a few months since I last published an app.
Check the following:
Price Tier Selected
That you have selected some countries stores where you would like the app to be sold (distributed)
Lastly it might take about 24 hours for the app to propagate to all app stores.
Check again tomorrow on the store. Your release date does look in order since it is a historic date.
From Apple's FAQ:
My app status is Ready for Sale but I cannot see my app on the App
Store. Why? The following factors could prevent your app from showing
up on the App Store:
Make sure to check the status of your agreements. If the agreement
status is Pending Contract, you may have to agree to the PLA or Paid
Applications agreement or complete the associated bank and tax
information for that agreement.
Make sure the availability date
provided in the Rights and Pricing section is prior to today's date.
If the date provided in the Rights and Pricing section is in the past,
make sure you made your app available in at least one App Store
territory.
If your app was scheduled to go live within the last 24
hours, the app may still be updating in the App Store cache. Once the
24-hour caching window has passed, close and open iTunes and search
for your app again. You can also click View in the App Store from the
More tab on your app's page in My Apps.
If you have checked the factors above and the app is still not on the
App Store, contact us.
As "Apfelsaft" says, any pending contractual conditions can block the availability of the app in the store. This is my case.
I faced the same issue.
No need to wait, just go to the App Description, make a small update.
Then in less than 5 minutes, the app is available.
After submitting my app to App Store for reviewing, is there anything that I need to be ready before final approval? And also, would the app be immediately available for downloading once it's approved, can I "reserve" a couple days in between to cleanup/reset the backend database?
1) Sign in to ITunes Connect
2) Go to Manage Your Application Section.
3) Click on your app.
4) On the top right you will see a section For Price and Release.
There you can set the release date for your app to the app store after review..
There is no need to be ready for anything else before final approval..
Good luck with your app :D
No, that's it - once it is submitted it is out on its own.
You can set to be immediately available or you can specify the date and release it yourself.
i have uploaded new binary as a new version of my application and at the time of uploading binary, i select the option that "I Will Release this version" means i just put it in "Hold for Developer Release".
Suppose my application is approved by apple and i dont want to release that version then what i have to do.is it possible to reject that binary or remove that version from iTunes connect?
From itunes connect guide
NOTE: You can only use the Version Release Control on app updates. It is not available for the first version of your app since you already have the ability to control when your first version goes live, using the Availability Date setting within Rights and Pricing. If you decide that you do not want to ever release a Pending Developer Release version, you can reject your binary to submit a new one.
You are not permitted to skip over an entire version
From this, we can remove that option from our application at any version upload. but can we reject after application is approved by apple?
Yes you can reject it!
Click on your "New version" > "Binary Details" > "Reject Binary"
To reject a approved release, select the approved release in iTunesConnect and at the top of the profile is a link "Cancel this release"
Paras, once you submit a new binary, it goes to the end of the queue for review!
I see a few possible cases related with your question:
You have no app yet, you submitted an app and waiting for review. Assume that you found a problem with the submitted app, and you wanted to provide a new one. Just submit the new binary, but remember, it will replace the original submission, it will go to the end of the queue and it will wait for review as before.
You have an app on the AppStore, and you wanted to provide an update for the app. As usual, submit your app, and wait to be notified. Once it is approved, your new app will be available to your users.
You have an app on the AppStore, you want to remove it from sales immediately, and provide an update: In this case, you can go to Manage Your Apps in your iTunes Connect, select the app and click on Rights and Pricing then choose an Availability Date in the future.
You get a warning message as following:
"You have selected an Available Date in the future. This will remove your currently live version from the App Store until the new date. Changing Available Date affects all versions of the application, both Ready For Sale and In Review."
That is fine, your app still in the store but not be in the sales. Now you provide your update and wait for the approval, once you get it, go ahead and set your app's availability date accordingly!
I hope that answers your question, and good luck on the mobile apps :)
Read what they say. The answer is right in front of you :)
'If you decide that you do not want to ever release a Pending
Developer Release version, you can reject your binary to submit a new one'
You can remove your app from the AppStore any time you want.
For that, simply go to itunesconnect.apple.com and on the "Manage your Application", choose the "Rights & Pricing" button then click on the "specific stores" link.
From there you can select in which stores your app will be in sale. You can then deselect all the countries so that your app won't be visible in any store.
From the iTunes Connect portal:
Select the App Stores where your app will be sold. Note that if you deselect all territories, your app will be removed from sale in all App Stores worldwide.
Bit of an update.
If you have an app with Developer Release and
The app has been approved then
The Web iTunes Connect does not provide any method to reject the binary, only a release button.
There is however a Reject Binary option still available on the iPhone iTunesConnect App.
So if you find yourself with this issue
Start the iTunesConnect App
Select the manage option
Tap on your apps pending version release
Select the 'Reject Binary' button
Hope that helps.
I was not an admin but an app manager in App Store Connect. I did not have permission to remove the app but I was able to withdraw from the sale in order to pull back acceptance.
Pricing and Availability -> Availability -> Remove from sale
It appears that you can not reject a app after it is approved by Apple. One possible sequence is to release the approved version for sale in only some tiny country for an hour, then remove it from sale and submit a new update.
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.
Regards,
Stephen
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.
