I submitted an app to itunes connect, and wouldn't you know it the next day found a bug.
So I fixed the bug and now have rebuilt and am trying to upload the App, but I see no way to upload a newer version of the app in itunes connect.
Attempting to just upload the archive says something along the lines of no matching app found on itunesconnect.
Attempting to create a new app on itunesconnect is not an option either, since my app signing cert is associated with the pending app... So I can't create a new entry. Well I could but would have to create a whole new app cert etc.. which is silly.
So, can I update the exist APP prior to it being approved? If so how? Or is my only option to delete the pending app, and recreate the entire record?
Thanks in advance.
You can reject the binary that you've submitted. Note, this will reset your place in the review queue. From the iTunesConnect developer guide (click "Rejecting Your Binary"):
Rejecting Your Binary
You can reject the binary you have submitted if its status is any of
the following: Missing Screenshot (iOS only), Waiting for Export
Compliance, Waiting For Review, In Review, Pending Developer Release,
or Pending Apple Release. Click the Reject Binary button on the Binary
Details page. This action removes your binary from the review queue.
You can then submit another update through Application Loader after
you move your app back to the Waiting For Upload state in iTunes
Connect. If you reject your binary, your app’s status changes to
Developer Rejected. When you resubmit your binary, the review process
starts over from the beginning.
Hope this helps,

I made one app for iPhone and I upload my binary file in app store few days ago. Currently my app status shows in review, now I want to change my .ipa file.
Can I change my .ipa file right now, when my app is in review state?
or
Do I have to wait for review completion and then re-upload my binary and wait for more days?
Any help will be appreciated !!
Yes you can change your binary file when your app status is "in review state" and before it change to "Ready for sale". Before that you have to go to iTunes Connect and Discard your old binary.
For that, In iTunes connect, go into 'Manage Your Applications' then click your application. Then 'View details' and press 'Binary Details' under 'Links'. You'll see the 'Reject this binary' in the upper right corner. After you discard your binary you can go ahead and upload a new one.
After doing this you'll be again placed in a waiting queue from the start. It's like you are uploading a binary today and waiting for review.
For confirmation you can check this

I am trying to create my first non-consumable in app purchase for my ios app and I just uploaded the .pkg to iTunes Connect (via XCode) but I still see this warning...
This In-App Purchase is not currently available for testing in the sandbox environment because you have chosen to host your content with Apple, but have not delivered your content. Upload your content to test this In-App Purchase in sandbox.
and the status is still
Waiting for Upload
I have not yet submitted my App's binary yet however.
How do I get rid of the message above and move on with testing in the sandbox env? Do I need to submit my app's binary?
Nevermind! I guess I was just being impatient. I checked back after a couple of hours and now the warning message has changed to
Your first In-App Purchase(s) must be submitted with a new app version. Select them from the In-App Purchases section of the Version Details page and then click Ready to Upload Binary.
For those who also got confused because they did not notify you directly, just make sure that you:
Archive your in app purchase, distribute it through XCode (Open organizer) and wait 1-2 hours.
This error came up for me when I edited an in-app purchase.
I have not received a reply from Apple but found that when I changed the image, I got this on saving.
Instead of being an edit, it turned into an add new.
As I have quite a few apps, I decided to add the in app-purchases to them and found that there was an issue with the graphic. There is no need to change the old one but thought it would be nice.
It is buggy.
I resolved the problem by deleting the new in app purchase and the edits were still saved into the original configuration except for the image.
Currently i am working in iPhone app, I have successfully upload iPhone app in itunes connect, noe i got some error in that app and fixed now, then i tried to upload a new build in same binary, is it possible? How to replace app, while waiting for review in itunes connect? please help me
Thanks in Advance
There is an option to Cancel the binary in iTunes. Select that and upload the new binary.
Open Itunes account.
Perform following steps
Select Manage Your Applications
Click on the application
Click on View details
Click on Binary Details under Links
Select 'Reject Binary' in the upper right corner
The other answers are outdated since Apple changed the UI in iTunes Connect. This is how it works now:
You first must upload a new binary using xCode or Application Builder (having a greater build number otherwise you won't be able to upload)
A "remove app version" button will appear in itunes connect, in the app details page, it is pretty visible and emphasized, you can't miss it. This will not actually delete the app version... it will just reject your binary. Your app version with all the details will be preserved.
After you press that your app status will be "developer rejected". Select the newly uploaded build for the new app version and click save.
Now your app status will be "preparing for submission". Press submit for review.
Note that the steps are referring to the case when you are submitting a new app version of an app but I imagine the steps are very similar for the case of a new app.
Use the "Reject binary" button so you can upload a new one. You'll go back to end of the approval queue.
After following Sahil's answer, your status will change to "Developer Rejected". You will need to go into "View Details", click on "Ready to Upload Binary", and follow the steps. This will change your status back to "Waiting for Upload" at which point you will be able to submit a new version.
Just one slight correction, when you say "you can't miss it", you underestimated me :-) I've gone through App Store, Features, TestFlight and Activity, and see no button labeled "Remove App Version". In my list of builds, Build # 4 is Waiting for Review, but I want Apple to review Build 6. If I click on Build # 4 ... I have some info about it, but nothing that lets me delete.
click on Waiting for review
click on remove this version from the review. this action will ONLY remove the build, not the screenshot, description etc.. so no worries..
submit new build
1) First you have to "Reject the Binary".
Now you can edit your App in itunes connect. But before that first upload your changed (new) code. You'll probably have to get a new build number for it.
2) Now comes the tricky part. You have to remove the connection between the App definition in iTunes connect and the binary. It did cost me 25 minutes before I found it where that can be done.
In the details of the App is the build information. When you move over the date, a small stop sign will appear. That is the one you are looking for. Press it and delete the binary from this version.
3) Now press SAVE (otherwise the new binary will not be listed).
4) By using the (+) you can add your new binary.
5) Submit for review again
There is now an information banner in blue (see image above) that let's you know how to remove your app from review.
"You can still edit all information while your version is waiting for review. To submit a new build, you must remove this version from review."
I just submitted a new version of our app to the Apple app store, but I had previously turned on "Version Release Control" so the app will now wait for me to initiate distribution to the iTunes App Store after it has (hopefully) been approved.
I would like to change this so that it just gets automatically sent to the App store after approval. How can I do that?
Julian
As far as I know you can't. You must wait for the app to be accepted or reject your build and change it (starting all over in the wait list...)
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.
