I made the changes indicated in rejection report, and ready to submit the app again. Do I
go through the add new app process again like the first time and fill out all the information, or
simply click "ready to upload binary" and upload the binary from Xcode - meaning other than uploading the fixed binary, there is nothing else to do
If you made changes to the binary then just upload a new one (option 2). If they only had you change app store data (description/screenshots) then you can even skip this, and just ask them to re-review in the resolution center.

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.
My app got rejected and they want that I upload a new binary.I tried to change the version number and to upload It again but nothing happened.
Go to ItunesConnect > navigate to submit binary Again, and it should work but keep in mind it should stay in "rejected" status until revising it again.
I released a new iPhone App recently, but once it appeared in the App Store following Apple's review, the App Store icon was surprisingly ugly; so I want to replace it right away.
However, whilst I'd expected to be able to do that through iTunesConnect or the Developer Portal, I haven't been able to find any way to revisit all the App meta data and screenshots etc. that I'd uploaded during the App ID registration phase.
My suspicion is that I may need to make this minor change to the App officially, as a version update; can anyone confirm this, or suggest how I should be replacing the App Store icon image quickly, please?
Bad news. Seems like you have to release an update for this purpose. Check this link
It states
Beginning January 9, app screenshots will be locked in iTunes Connect once your app has been approved. New screenshots may be uploaded when you submit a binary for an update to an existing app or a new app
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.
