I got a strange isssue regarding appstore, recently we upload .ipa with 1.5 version to appstore , which is approved and ready for sale state. Right now we got an issue so we want temporarily remove the app from appstore, for that I can follow these steps Go in Manage your Applications > [Your Application Name] > Rights and Pricing Click on "Deselect All" App Stores and "Save". The Application will change state to "Developer Removed". so my question was , if I want to reupload my app what about the version for my app, can I continue from my current version or I need to start from 1.0?
You can upload a new binary, and set the availability of that binary (the selected stores) back to whatever locales you want to sell in.
There's no need to start again from 1.0; you can follow whatever numbering scheme you want.
(Note that you should make sure to pick a number bigger than 1.5, though, so that the update is available to people using the current version of your app.)

I have just uploaded new app to the AppStore using iTunes connect and didn't see a way to not to publish app automatically
Does it mean that for new apps Apple no longer provides way to do it?
Update 5th Sep
They just rolled out a major UI change to the iTunes Connect website.
The Version Release section is now down the bottom of one giant page for each version. This is a good change as it means you can go back and alter this setting whilst your app is still in a Waiting for Upload state.

At least as of Sep 2014, the question about automatic pushing is exposed as a final screen after the main form you fill in when you push the Ready to Upload Binary button.
This is unfortunately a one-way process - you can't go back and edit your answers in these screens, for a given version. You have to force it by uploading a version that is rejected then go through the screens again. (I just found out the hard way as a client painstakingly filled in the forms for all NINETY SIX apps then I had to go through uploading them all and repeating the forms - it's been a long day.)
See Apple's help
I think it asks you about that when you create an update for an app.
For the first version of an app just go to Rights & Pricing and set a future release date.
I have an iPhone app that was accepted in the App Store almost a month ago. Now i have updated my app with some new features and added iOS 7 support etc.
This is actually the first very first time i am going to submit a new version of the same app to the App Store.
As far as it seems, i have to go to iTunes Connect > Manage Your Apps, select the app and then click on "Add Version" and add the version number and whats changed in the new version. Go back and add the updated screenshots and then using Xcode, i can submit it for the approval.
The question is that is there anything else that i am missing and that i should do in order to submit the new version of the app? As i said i am doing it for the very first time. Thanks!
Things you may wan't to consider:
submitting any new in-app purchases with the new version of the app
make sure your app version and short app version is higher than the one in the version currently in the app store, otherwise you will not pass validation
run validation before submitting so you can see if you get any warnings, sometimes there may be collision with Apple private apis. If they are in your code, I'd suggest to rename your methods
The only thing you need to do now is to update the version number and the build number in your Xcode application, archive your app and submit on the AppStore.
On iTunes Connect you set the new version number :
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.
Recently I have released my app into the US AppStore. Now I Planed for a world wide release. So I need to change the AppStore and release my app world wide. But I don't know how to change the AppStore after release my app. I searched for an answer, but my bad I didn't get anything helpful. IS it is possible to edit the targeted AppStore after complete release process?
You can change the regions your application is available in with iTunes Connect.
Todo so follow these simple steps:
Login to https://itunesconnect.apple.com
Click "Manager your Applications"
Select your application
Click "Rights and Pricing" (before you select the specific version)
Just below the pricing tier options you change regions
I hope this helped.
I have an iPhone app which is aleready live on the app store...Now I want to make small updates to the app (fixes and adding iAd)
How do I submit the new updated app..Will that create a new version OR is that not required?
Also in iTunes Connect, I do not see any link which says Submit update or new version..
Do I first have to upload via Loader ...Please guide me. Thank you.
You should update the "version" field in your .plist, then submit a new binary.
In the application page, there is a "Add Version" button in the lower right corner, as follows:
Click "Add Version", clarify what is being updated/fixed/upgraded in the new version, make sure that all the other fields are correct, and then submit.
After that, you will have to use the Application Loader (Mac App) to upload your binary.
No matter how small or insignificant the updates are, you have to add a new version. Note that the current version will not be removed from the store, so you will not lose sales (or downloads).
Also, note that while there are technical ways to slightly circumvent this (e.g., by downloading dynamic code from the internet), such practices are strictly forbidden and will cause your app to be rejected.
