Thanking you in advance ...
Hey this is very Easy Should i help u now??
Once your app is Ready for Sale, after that if you want to upgrade your Binary, then you have to release your Apps New Version.If previously your version was 1.0 then it should be Now 1.1 or 2.0 then Modify the Code you had written for that app and Compress the binary and click on New Version for the Corresponding app. That's it. If you still face any problem then let me know... I will be happy to Help you.
You have to release the currently approved app for sale before you can update it.
You can release it for sale for one hour in only one microscopic country for one hour, or maybe zero countries, then remove it from sale if you don't want it distributed widely before you update it.

I've just got an app in the app store and realised theres a spelling mistake on the first view! As the app is intended for an upcoming event occuring in 3 days I am nervous about uploading an update. If I upload new binary to iTunes Connect will that mean my previous version will not be available on the app store? Also, will I need to have Apple approve my latest version prior to releasing it?
Any advice would be awesome, thanks!
When you push a new update it has to be reviews but will likely take more than 3 days to do so. While it is waiting to be reviewed your current version will be live.
Don't worry, your previous version won't be affected. Just upload the new one, but know that it's gonna take more than 3 days (pretty much always 7, if you submit during work hours). You can file for an expedited review, but even that can sometimes take more than 3 days.
And you don't need to remove the old version to put in the new one. You just submit the new one. You can determine whether you want it to automatically become available on the app store as soon as it's approved, or give it a specific release date.
Just know this: If your update has issues and you're forced to remove it AFTER it has become available on the app store, then you can't just revert back to the old version. You have to resubmit the old version and wait a week for that to get reviewed again.
i got approved & my app released 2 days ago & now my client needs to update screenshots to high quality.
Is that possible to delete all & replace with new ones or i should upload a new binary?
Even if i update Binary once gain , i should update my version also in such a case did apple approve my app with update version?
Thanks
You have to update a new binary only when you need to change the app icon. You can manage your screenshots whenever you like.
You could simply replace the screenshot asset, you would not have to upload a new binary.
I've been googling this question, but haven't been able to find an answer.
I know that you are able to upload an app, get it approved, and then set a release date.
But I was wondering if the same thing can be done for an existing app?
Thanks in advance :)
You can't peg an update to a specified date, but you can "hold for developer release" on the update. That means that once it's approved, Apple won't publish the update until you go into iTunes Connect and manually press a button to release it.
No, when you remove an app from sale, you have to put it back manually, there's no way to specify a date to make this happen automatically. See the iTunes Connect FAQ for more info.
I have noticed that resetting the release date to the future after the application has been released will take it back out of the store and release it again. Im not sure how apple will look upon this if the application has already been released and is live. Mine was new and I had to keep pushing off the release date because the services were not reliably functional.
I have an iPhone application in the App Store. I submitted 1.1 to the app store a few days ago, and selected to "Hold for Developer Release." I found out that there is a very serious bug in the approved version. I need to pull this binary.
From what I can tell, Apple doesn't support this. I have sent them an email, but there's another bug in the current version that needs to be fixed also, so time is of the essence.
I've heard that you can release the update in some random country (where I would have no sales) and then release the next (fixed) update in all countries. If I only release 1.1 in, say, Luxembourg, is the old version (1.0) pulled from the other stores? Are the chart ratings reset? I'm relatively high in the charts, and I don't want to lose the momentum the app currently has.
Until Apple supports rejecting approved binaries, I'm looking for the quickest alternative.
Craig. Let me answer some of your questions. First, if you release an update, regardless of what country it is released in, it will replace the old binary for every country. Thus, if you only select Luxembourg, you are not only releasing the update to all countries, but also removing the app entirely from every app store except Luxembourg.
Second, it would appear that even Apple has no say over the iTunes Connect website in terms of altering the process for one person. I believe you should be able to reject an approved update, I don't see why they would want to disallow this. However, since they do not right now, it's best to forget about it.
You basically have 2 options. One, you can release this new version to the world, which keeps your standing in the App Store and warn users of the bug and promise them a fix. At that point, you can appeal to the Review Board for an expidited review, which they may not give you. Remember, if you release the update, I would upload another update immediately after.
You're not going to avoid your problem but there are things you can do to minimize the impact of your mistake.
Second, you can remove the App from Sale, accept the new update, and upload a new one for review, and put the app back up for sale again once approved. The problem here is that you will most likely lose your store ranking and the app will be unavailable for about a week. Not what I would do. I would go with the first solution.
From my experience, customers are ok if you need to issue a fix and they're fairly understanding. Make sure you tell them exactly what's going on in the app description AND the "What's New" section. Make sure they see it. They'll be ok with a few days of inconvenience in return for your honesty and reassurance that the issue has been fixed in a near-future update.
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
You can reject an app that is on "Hold for developer release". You need to click "Binary Details", and there you should find the reject button.
I am new in iphone and i am on the final stage of my first project for iPhone.I need some help in Inapp purchase implementation.I need to give a free version of my app for thirty days and then force the user to buy the app.Please let me know how can i start implement this.Looking forward for valuable advices.
Thanks in advance.
You can't release a time limited app of any kind through the Apple Store.
The iPhone business model does not work like that for non-moblies. Apple will not let you release a time limited application of any kind.
Instead, you have to create a "lite" version that has some but not all the full application's features and release that for free. The lite version can have a link to upgrade to the full version but it must be a functioning app in its own right.
So, you need to start over from scratch thinking about your app. You need to develop two versions.
You'll need to manage the activation over the network - if you try storing the "shareware" date locally, then you'll create a state where users can just wipe the app and re-install every 29th day. But then if the user always runs your application in airplane mode, they'll never contact the activation server, so you'll need to manage activation locally :-).
