how to delete app from app store? I don't find any link there. Where is the link.
You go to iTunes Connect, select manage applications, select the app you want to delete > rights and pricing> deselect all app stores.
This will set your app to 'developer removed from sale'.
I believe you can delete the app entirely after this, and the 'delete app' button should now be added to the first screen after you select the app. If you do delete the app, you will never be able to use the app name again. If you plan on using it, just 'developer removed from sale'.
In iTunesConnect, go to Manage Your Applications, select the application, select Rights and Pricing, don't select any stores.
Note: Apps cannot be deleted until there is one approved version. If there is not an approved version, the app record can NOT be deleted.
The "delete app" button will just not be there in this case. So don't create an App for "testing" and expect you can remove it later on !

My app is on Prepare for Submission, and I want to delete this app.
Already removed all countries from Territory Availibity.
But I cannot see the Delete Button.
What should I do?
At least one version of the app needs to be online at least once
App must be offline
Only Agent role can see the Delete option
I am facing a strange issue that I have never faced before. I created a new appID with new Bundle ID, but it is not showing up in itunesconnect "Bundle ID".I googled it and i found some questions regarding this, but only questions there are no answers on it. is there any way to tackling this issue, any help much appreciated.
Thanks.
Try to sign out, and then sign in to itunesconnect site. it worked for me
I just had to create an App Id and then log out of iTunes connect and back in again.
iTunes connect is truly awful.
I've seen this happen myself from time to time, but so far it's always been down to a delay in iTunes Connect and has sorted itself out without me doing anything other than waiting!
Like this guy here, the solution for me was wait, so apple could process my new id. (about 6 hours or so).
For me it was to check the removed apps list — someone has already used that Bundle ID and removed the app associated with it before.
for me i sorted it out by emailing to Apple about the issue, then i got solution for that.
Edit
At that time when i had that issue, nothing did work for me i tried reload, refresh, sign out, restart system, nothing worked out.
I left with no option but to email to Apple on their support email, they fixed that manually for me. now it could be possible with reload page or sign out and sign in i am not sure.
Well there is nothing specific in email to apple on there technical support, just mention you are facing that problem, they might set this up manually for you. hope you got it.
Login to member centre and create a distribution profile using the same app id which you are going to use in the iTunes Connect. Then logout from iTunes Connect and Login again and try. It will show the Bundle ID in the drop down menu.
Hope this will help you.
If you tried to create the app record and if the app or bundle id does not appear:
In order for you to be able to see the app record in iTunes Connect, the team agent of the account must login and adjust your settings so that you are able to view the app.
Please provide the team agent with the following steps to add your access to the app.
In the Users and Roles pane, select the user you want to edit by clicking on their Apple ID.
Select the Roles pane.
In the Apps window, the team agent can add the newly created app to the users access, by selecting the down arrow in the window, and choosing the new app.
Once the new app is added, click Save.
Once this information has been updated by the team agent, you will be able to view the app in iTunes Connect.
Refreshing and sign out/signing in again doesn't worked.
In my case what worked is to contact apple support team for the concern, they added it manually and it was there after waiting for 24 hours.
For me the issue was that we had previously deleted/archived the apps with such bundle identifiers. But this was long long time ago, I didn't even remember that. So they just had to be recovered in iTunes Connect.

Have you ever heard 'XC Wildcard-' option to create new iOS or tvOS app creating new bundle ID on AppStoreConnect platform? Yes it is possible with 'XC Wildcard-' option. So if your bundle ID does not appear on the AppStoreConnect;
Click + (Plus button) and Select the New App option.
Enter needed informations and choose 'XC Wildcard-*' option from Bundle ID section.
After that, you'll see Bundle ID Suffix text box. Enter your bundle identifier there and
Click the Create button.
If your bundle id is not using from other apps, your app will generated successfully. Otherwise, you can change your bundle id and you can create your app on AppStoreConnect.
for me the solution was to resister a new id, then choose this id and save, then logout again and login and now you can see your bundle id.
To get rid of this issue, I create separate profiles for my extensions and app targets as well that are definitely paired with single app id. I had SiriKit extensions in my app and multiple targets along.
These Steps Worked for me.
Logout from itunes connect
Login to apple developer account
Delete existing identifier
Create new identifier with Explicit radio box checked next to BundleID
Login to Itunes connect again
Hopefully you'll be able to see bundle identifier there.
In My case, I've Just removed an App From AppStore Connect(Not yet released into AppStore). But I can see that THE APP IS NOT COMPLETELY REMOVED, but categorized under "Removed Apps". Now I want to create a new app in Appstore connect using the same bundle ID that I've used in the app that I just removed, But my BundleID is invisible while creating new App. I've just Mailed Apple regarding this. Will keep you posted on this.
I've had this same issue a few times, and it's been for different reasons. Here's a few things to check:
1) Did you set the developer profile in xCode? When you create a new project it sets the developer ID, so if you're trying to make a new one to.. lets say... do an ad-hoc release, it won't be present in the old project. It's set in targets>build settings>code signing
2) Download your profiles from the organizer. New profiles need to be loaded into xCode
3) Close/quit and reopen xCode, sometimes it breaks.
4) Try doing a clean
It seems that in Xcode 13, for new apps the app's Name, Bundle ID, etc... is set within Xcode during the upload process.
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.
Apple has introduced the possibility of deleting an app. Quoting the iTunes Connect guide:
If you have created an app in iTunes
Connect that you no longer need to see
or manage, you can delete it from your
iTunes Connect view. Deleting your app
will not allow you to re-use your SKU
or App Name and you will not be able
to restore your app once deleted.
So far so good. Then it gets slightly confusing:
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 the App Name will be
freed up for their use.
Does this mean that I won't be able to reuse the name in my account, but other accounts will? Has anybody tried this?
Please see Removing an App From Sale (page 92) section on iTunes Connect Developer Guide 6.3
Click "Rights and Pricing"
Go to the sale territories section. There is a link near the end
Click on the "Deselect all" button to uncheck all App Store territories.
Click on the "Save Changes" button.
After removing all assigned territory checkboxes from your app in the Rights and Pricing section,, the status
changes to Developer Removed from Sale and your app will not be seen on the App Store within 24 hours.
It's possible to salvage the situation. I also made a mistake and forgot to type com.XX part when entering the Bundle ID. My app was not live yet, but once you submit BundleID, it's not possible to change it.
What you can change though, is the "App Name". Thus:
Change the app name into something bogus
Add new app, now using correct Bundle ID and type the original name
Re-upload everything
You could reuse the App Name of the app you have deleted if you change the Default Language of the application information.
Full details here: http://hesh.am/2012/01/recovering-a-deleted-app-name-in-itunes-connect/
I just ran into this today trying to submit my app. I used an incorrect bundle ID and nievely assumed that deleting the app from iTunes Connect would release the app name and SKU for me to reuse when I recreated the app. Not so. Now I get these two errors:
The SKU number you entered has already been used.
The App Name you entered has already been used.
You are correct when you say their documentation is confusing. What the heck is "App Delete," and how is it any different from the "Delete Application" button in iTunes Connect?
I only hope I'm not screwed with regards to my app name being unavailable forever. I've contacted Support so here's hoping...
Simple steps for Deleting/Removing app from iTunes Connect:
iTunesConnect>App>Rights and Pricing>specific stores> Deselect All> Save
Change app status: Developer Removed From Sale
After 24hours app will be removed.
when you delete an application from iTunes Connect you can't upload with the same App Name and SKU in the same developer Apple id. This resource is for migrate an App for another company or individual developer. Ex. when an App was sold.
Follow Below Steps
Login into your iTunes Connect with your developer id: https://itunesconnect.apple.com
Click on App Icon
Click on Rights And Pricing
At the bottom This app will be on sale in all App Stores worldwide.
Or, you can select specific stores “here”. Click on here button to open all specific app stores.
Click on the “Deselect All” button to uncheck all App Store territories.
Click on “Save Changes” button.
Now when you save all these and go to back to your App icon home screen. There will be one more button appear “Delete Application” after “Set Up iAd Network”.
Click on Delete button and read instructions.
Your app will disappear from the app store within 24 hours.
Refer to: see Removing an App From Sale (page 92) section on iTunes Connect Developer Guide 6.3
Follow Instructions Below:
Click "Rights and Pricing"
Go to the sale territories section. There is a link near the end.
Click on the "Deselect all" button to uncheck all App Store territories.
Click on the "Save Changes" button.
Now when you save all of these and then go to back to your App icon home screen there will be one more button that will appear called “Delete Application” located after “Set Up iAd Network”
Click on that "Delete Application button" and read instructions
After removing all assigned territory checkboxes from your app in the Rights and Pricing section, and clicking "Delete Application", the status changes to Developer Removed from Sale and your app will not be seen on the App Store within 24 hours. The name you were using for your app will also become freed for other developers' use.
Hope this helps!!!
How do I remove an App ID from the developer program portal area? I mistakenly added a couple of app id's under the wrong login and would like to remove them, but I am not seeing a way to do so.
Update: You can now remove an App ID (as noted by #Guru in the comments).
In the past, this was not possible: I had the same problem, and the folks at Apple replied that they will leave all of the App ID you create associated to your login, to keep track of a sort of history related to your login.
It seems that they finally changed idea about.
App IDs cannot be removed because once allocated they need to stay alive so that another App ID doesn't accidentally collide with a previously existing App ID.
Apple should however support hiding unwanted App IDs (instead of completely deleting them) to reduce clutter.
In the iOS Dev Center developer navigate to "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles > iOS Apps > Identifiers > App IDs"
Find the app id you wish to delete, highlight it and select "Settings". At the bottom of the resulting screen there is a "Delete" button.
Previously the only way to do this was to use a Safari & Chrome extension written by Simon Whitaker
app-id-sanity downloads
It gives you an "Active" checkbox next to all your App IDs and allows you to relabel them to alter how they appear in the App ID drop-down when creating new provisioning profiles.
As of Apr 2013, it is possible to delete App IDs.
As of Sep 2013, it is impossible to delete App IDs again after the big outage.
I hope Apple will put it back.
As of mid 2014, it is possible to delete App IDs again. However, you can't delete id of apps existing in the App Store.
Delete application IDs is allowed. Make sure you deleted all certificates, APNS certs and provisioning profiles associated with your application. Then go to Identitifies --> App IDs, select the application ID, Edit and Delete button should be enabled.
As #AlexanderN pointed out, you can now delete App IDs.
In your Member Center go to the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section.
Go to Identifiers folder.
Select the App ID you want to delete and click Settings
Scroll down and click Delete.
When I do what explains some answers:
The result is:
So, anybody can explain really really how to delete an old App ID?
My opinion is: Apple does not let you remove them. I suppose it is a way to maintain the traceability or the historical of the published.
And of course: application is no longer available in the App Store. It was available (in the past), yes.
