Reject binary with state waiting for review (can't find reject binary button) - iphone

I want to reject binary which is waiting for review and when I go to the path that Developer Guide specifies I can't find the button to reject the binary.

In iTunes connect, from 'My apps', select
Click your application, then
Make sure you are on the 'Versions' tab, and that the correct version is selected.
Click 'Remove this version from review' located in the info bubble.
See below

As a few people have commented/upvoted on #ThomasRS's accepted answer, for whatever reason, even though my app's status was "Waiting for review", the blue bar with the "To submit a new build, you must remove this version from review" message did not appear on the iTunes Connect website on my app's "Waiting for review" version page.
However, I did see a "Reject this binary" link in the iTunes Connect iOS application:
Steps to access that page:
Open the iTunes Connect app on your iOS device.
Sign in with your iTunes credentials when prompted.
Open the Products tab (along the bottom).
Tap your application.
On that screen, tap "Reject This Binary".

This has all changed with the re-design (as of 12-Sept-2014) you now need to:
Open the App Details page for the app, as described in To open the App
Details page for an app.
On Versions, above the app's metadata, this message appears: "You can
only edit all information while your version is waiting for review. To
submit a new build, you must remove this version from review." Click
"remove this version from review"
See: Viewing and Changing Your Apps Status and Availability

After the changes in iTunesConnect Portal, Here are the new steps:
Login to iTunes Connect.
Click on My Apps option.
Select app for which you want to reject binary.
Select the version from the left side.
Reject binary (visible on right side)
You just need to click on remove this version from review (denoted by arrow in above image)

In my case the link to reject appeared after 5-10 minutes after submit, so try to wait 10 minutes.

I went through the struggle of this as well. I tried everything StackOverflow told me nothing worked. So I did some digging on the site itself and this worked for me.
Right click the site in chrome and click "inspect".
Click "Elements"
Search for "showDevRejectModal".
Double click the class parent of this element where it says "ng-modal ng-isolate-scope ng-hide".
Delete the "ng-hide".

You may reject your binary at any time. It will be removed from the review queue and you will go to 'the back of the line' as it were if/when you resubmit your app for review.
From the Developer Guide (log in required):
When the status of your app is...
In Review...you can
reject the binary you have submitted
by clicking Reject Binary from the
Binary Details page...

From the new version of iTunes connect, here is what you have to do:
login to iTunes connect. Go to my apps and click on the app for which you wish to reject binary.
In the app details page you will see a particular section, in the Versions tab:
Click on the link 'remove this version from Review'
Once you do that, go to the Build Section of your app - you will see a '-' button when you hower over the mouse above the version number.
Click on the '-' button and your build is removed from the Review Queue.
Pl. note - every build that is removed, will result in further delay to the app- approval time, as your queue position is lost!!

Or you can remove it in Build section.

"reject bubble" didn't appear in my case as well. While searching on the web I've found this thread which suggested to use the API request below:
After I've pasted the link in the browser and reload the itunes page, the bubble appeared so I could reject the binary:
https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/app/[app_id]/versions/[version_id]/reject
Make sure to use you app's [app_id] and [version_id] in the request above
Just execute the final request and it should do the trick (pasting the final string with the correct app_id and version_id into your browser's address line should work for this)
Hopefully this option may help someone else.

I had to switch to Safari from Chrome to see the button

Remove the App from the App Store

I want to remove my app, which is currently marked "Ready for sale", from the App Store. I could not find any documentation on this, and there is no "Remove from Sale" option in the "Manage Your Apps" section of iTunes Connect. Can anyone guide me on how I can remove my app from the App Store?
I have found one solution here but I'm not able to do it that link here they mentioned some steps like i have given below.
Go to “Manage Your Applications” and select the app.
Click “Rights and Pricing” (blue button at the top right.
Below the availability date and price tier section, you should see a grid of checkboxes for the various countries your app is available in. Click the blue “Deselect All” button.
Click “Save Changes” at the bottom.
But the problem is not not able find the grid checkboxes for the countries. Its showing like this.
So please tell me how to remove the app from the app store .
Thanks.
Click where it says "specific territories" in blue and you'll see the grid.
From there tap the 'deselect all' option and your app will be removed from sale

How to Change App name in iTunes Connect

Is there anyway to change the app name in iTunes connect.Previously we followed the the below procedure to change app name,
1. Log in to Itunes Connect
2. Click "Manage applications"
3. Click on your app
4. Click "View details"
5. Click on Edit (At the right of "Version information")
6. Edit your app name.
But currently it is not working, Is there is any way to change app name.
Please give me the solution.
After some confusion I managed to change my app name (while it was in status 'Prepare for Upload' - not sure if this works for other statuses):
Log in to Itunes Connect
Click "Manage applications"
Click on your app
Click "View details" under your current version
Click on Edit next to "Metadata and Uploads"
And then you can edit the name.
The only way you can edit a App Name (assuming the app has been approved) is by creating a new version, at that point you can modify it.
Apple has removed the tables that once referenced what could be updated during what statuses. Now Apple has outlined exactly what CAN be change while the app is in the 'Ready for Sale' status. Anything else will require a new version to be created.
You can change the following store metadata while an app’s version has
the “Ready for Sale” status:
Copyright, Routing App Coverage File
Description, What’s New in this Version
Support URL, Marketing URL, and Privacy Policy URL
App Store Contact Information Language support, including adding new languages
and changing the default language
EULA
Source: Apple iOS Developer Guide
Its place on the renewed iTunes Connect interface is under 'Versions' tab:
To rename existing application on App Store you can create New Version and
then enter app-name in Name field.
This name will be displayed now as the name of your app on the App Store. This can't be longer than 255 characters.
There would be some confusion around that, the reason is that the name you put on the app store (on iTunesConnect) can be different from the name given within Xcode (under build settings)..
So if your app name is displayed properly on the app store, but when you download it, the name is different, it's because Apple doesn't apply the name given on iTunesConnect to the binary that people download..
Which means you have to recompile and reupload as new version..
The way to change your App 'Name' or 'Subtitle' seems to have changed slightly.
First need to create a 'new version' of your app, use the option: "+ VERSION OR PLATFORM" (shown in the image below), then after saving that new version, you can click on the "App Information" (shown in the image below), and in that form you now can edit the "Name" and "Subtitle" (which will both be reviewed by Apple before your new version if the app becomes available on the App store).
This new name and subtitle will be used for the new version of your app on the app store.

Facebook "Add to My Page" not there

I've made some facebook pages before, but I'm running in to a problem that I haven't had before. Usually, when someone asks me to dev a facebook page for them, it's linked to an account and all I have to do is add the developer app, make a few apps for the links on the side bar, then navigate to the apps I created and click 'add to my page'.
For some reason, this person today gave me their log-in and their account isn't really 'real' so-to-speak. I'm navigated to the page they created upon log-in and there is nothing else loaded, not even a search bar. I was able to add the developer app by navigating to Edit Info (search bar popped up). However I am unable to add any apps to this account. The 'Add to My Page' does not show up on any app pages I navigate to. Is this because the account doesn't really exist? There is a "Create Your Profile" link up near the Settings/Logout buttons.
Am I thinking about this wrong? Is there another way for me to add apps/sidebar tabs with an account like this?
I was thinking of telling the person to register the account fully since "If you create a profile for your business, your account may be disabled for violating our Terms of Use."
Let me know if any of you have any insight.
Thanks!
facebook changes as usual
try my "fix" # http://admine.eu/addapp.html
here is part of the source and actually all you need:
window.open(
"http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=" +
document.getElementById("appid").value +
"&next=" +
document.getElementById("appurl").value,
"PageTab","width=1000,height=300"
)
+document.getElementById("appid") is the id of your app
+document.getElementById("appurl") is the canvas or tab URL of your app
I run into this too. Sometimes as when a client adds me as an admin I have to like the app I made on its profile page then switch to page mode and go to edit the page>apps and it shows up in my list of apps.
If you have already added it once it may already be in that list as well but doesn't show up in the left navigation until you add it as a tab in the app settings while in Page mode.
I find that if there are more than 8 tabs in the navigation already FB won't automatically add it to the left nav.

I've put together a javascript snippet that is intended to be used as a bookmarklet. If you use the bookmarklet while on an application's page in the developers section, a new window will automatically open with the add to page-dialog. To use it, just copy the minified code from the repository below and create a new bookmark for "javascript:[the code]" (without the quotation marks).
https://github.com/Wehrzie/Add-Facebook-Application-to-Page-Bookmarklet
Hopefully this will help some until Facebook cleans up their current, quite messy, solution.
Simple to use:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=APP_ID&next=http://www.facebook.com

(iphone) where is "Reject Binary" button?

I just submitted my app for test purposes
(seems like you need to submit/reject the binary to test in-app-purchase)
http://troybrant.net/blog/2010/01/in-app-purchases-a-full-walkthrough/
I submitted through xcode4 organizer "submit" button.(and it completed successfully)
When I look at my app page in itunes-connect, it's still waiting for upload and there's no "reject binary" button.
Does this status change from "waiting for upload" -> "waiting for review" takes a while?
I need to reject this binary since it's not fully ready yet, and in a panic.
Any prompt response would be appreciated
Log in To iTunes connect --> Manage your Application --> Click on your Application --> Again Click on your Application Icons --> Binary Details --> Reject Binary button Right top side.
Hope this help you.
See I have one app in Waiting for Review status and still I have Binary details option and you can reject your binary from there. See attached screenshot.
The "Binary Details" button will not appear while the app state is "Upload Received".
You need to wait until the app state changes to "Waiting for Review".
Sometimes that can take as long as 10-15 minutes.

Get itunes link for app before submitting

I read in another post that you can submit the app without the binary but I based on what I have seen this is no longer possible. It seems you cannot submit without the binary and the binary is submitted through the application loader. Is there any other known way to get the itunes/app store link to my app before I submit the binary?
The manual way:
Your should copy your "Apple ID" from iTunes connect and use this link:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/APPNAME/idXXXXXXXXX
Would open the US store ("APPNAME" is that app name and XXXXXXXXX is the "Apple ID". You can use more general method (Recommended):
http://itunes.apple.com/app/idXXXXXXXXX
and replace "XXXXXXXXX" with your "Apple ID" (from iTunes connect - after creating the app there).
Pay attention that those would open safari if you won't preprocess them, You could also use itms:// to open iTunes directly.
The easiest way to do this now is through iTunes Connect. Once you create an app there is a link to 'View in App Store'. Even if you haven't uploaded a binary yet you can click this link to get your App Store link.
The other answers work too but this generates your url for you. This is the URL it creates with my info removed (replace app-name and the numbers after /id with your own):
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/app-name/id12345678?ls=1&mt=8
Once you create application in iTunes for submission under App Information tab click in View on App Store you will get app link.
Option 2: (In new update this is no longer available) you can create as below
https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/your-appname/id123456?mt=8
Note : Just replace app name and numbers after /id with your app-id in above link
Use this url example and just change your Apple ID at the end! Replace only the numbers!
https://itunes.apple.com/app/id111111111
You can find the value of your Appple ID by login into your App Store Connect and navigating to 'My Apps' under the 'App Information' -> 'General Information' -> 'Apple ID'
This url format works always and it is particularly helpful if you need the link before you publish your app
The standard URL is:
http://itunes.com/apps/yourlowercaseappname
As of today and for reference, I would say the best option is #"http://itunes.apple.com/app/%#/id%#?mt=8", inserting:
your application lowercase name,
your application ID.
In fact, this is essentially the link you can get for your application on your app's page in iTunes Connect (iTunes Connect > Manage Your Apps > Your App > View in App Store). Minus some parameters (which seems - between other unidentified things - to link to a precise country).
I thinks it's better than the itms://... one because this one redirects you to the iTunes Store on your device, which is not the App Store. You're then redirected, etc. The http://... link seems to be directly hooked to the App Store app.
I ended up using - itms://itunes.apple.com/app/id?mt=8
This seems to be what I was looking for.
Remember http://itunes.apple.com/app/id[Apple_ID] is gone. It will work for the old links and it should work fine for new ones too maybe, but to be safe use the new https://apps.apple.com/app/id[Apple_ID]
You can get application link before uploading your binary file on iTunes Connect.
You just need to upload your meta data using iTunes Connect. And after submitting these data you will get Apple ID. And by this ID you can get the URL for your application.
e.g. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=appID
where appID="Your application ID when you submit the meta data"
Please check this. It is working here. And If you still have any problem then please let me know. I will help you out to solve the problem.
According to Apple's iTunes Connect documentation the View on App Store link is only available if at least one version of the app has had it's status set to Ready for Sale.
Having said that you can still see what the actual link will be, you just will not be able to load the page.
Best way to get app link is
login to itunes connect
Go to My Apps -> create app record if
you don't have any.
select your app -> go to App Information
section
At bottom of the page check additional information
section, there is a link called "View on App Store". Click on the
link and you will get exact URL for your app.Copy-Paste and Enjoy.
Apple has a documentation for creating easy-to-read app links. If your app name is specified, creating your links with this way is much more clear.
It seems the app id is now the Apple ID in the itunesconnect page. Go to App Information and scroll down until you see Apple ID. That is your app id.
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id[Apple_ID]
Go to https://itunesconnect.apple.com,
if not yet created, create a new App.
Open it and in the first screen (AppStore -> App information -> General) there is a field called "Apple ID" with the id number.
Copy and use it. Is this one.
If AdWords does not allow a link to iTunes, this will solve it...
If you use the link generated at the bottom of iTunesConnect, and you are selling internationally, you will find /us/ or /gb/ or /de/ etc that indicates the language of the relevant store. Adwords will not approve a link with the language indicated.
Why?
Because Adwords does not accept redirects and unmatched URLs. If the link is to the USA store, but the Adword test originates in Germany, then a redirect is detected. Of course, this behavior is correct because no matter what the link says the user will go to her local app store.
Solution: Edit the link from iTunes Connect. Strip out unneeded info. Simply match the display and final URL, disregarding any message about length in the display URL warning text.
URL copied from iTunes:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/this-is-my-app-name/id1111111111?ls=1&mt=8
Edited URL suitable for AdWords
DISPLAY URL
itunes.apple.com/app/id111111111
FINAL URL
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id111111111
notes:
- appstore.com is a redirect
- itunes.apple.com by itself is a redirect. Only in full as above does it go directly to your app page.
- When one URL - no matter how valid - redirects, then the result is mismatched URLs.
/gb
1- Go > https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
2- My Apps > Select Your App
3- App Store > App Information > View On App Store
The best simple link is
http://itunes.apple.com/app/idXXXXXXXXX.
You can get id from your App Information in http://itunesconnect.apple.com.
