How do I upload the app updates in the new iTunes Connect UI - iphone

I was just going to update my iPhone app. I've added the "What's New in this version" info and update everything but I can't figure out where to upload the app itself. Can anyone help me with this?

You need to click the button on the top right of the page that says "Ready to Upload" (or something really similar). You should then be able to compile the app and upload it using the Application Loader.

Has anything changed in iTunes to upload a new Binary.?

I have an app in iTunes which i wanted to update with a new version. As according to the normal procedure, I have archived the file via XCode and then I tried to validate but it said "No suitable application records were found". After some search I came to know that the App status needs to be changed to ready to upload then I can do what I want. But when I logged in to iTunes, there is no option to upload a new binary, as can be seen in the image below..
instead there is some promo code option there. But in the previous window, there was an option to "ADD VERSION" as in the image,
but this link is not working as well.. When I click "Add Version" this page comes up.
and when I click continue on this page, it again sends me to the page showed in image 2.. Is there anything under maintenance in the site currently.? Can someone please check and respond.
Can anyone please tell me what shall be the proper procedure to follow in this case.
Thanx In advance..
Don't click Continue, click the "Member Center" link, and agree to the new program license agreement. This will allow you to create a new version.
To Upload new binary, you need to have new version with app state 'Ready To upload Binary',
Click on Add Version and add update details...make app statue 'Ready to upload'. Then Upload.
Actually the process I followed is proper. When we click the member center link, it shows this "Under Maintenance" window..
So this is the problem. Untill they maintain their site, we cant accept member center terms, and hence we wont be able to upload any new version. So just wait for them to be up with the link again.
Some maintenance might be going on. U can wait for a day and try later.

Make Update to a live iPhone app

I have an iPhone app which is aleready live on the app store...Now I want to make small updates to the app (fixes and adding iAd)
How do I submit the new updated app..Will that create a new version OR is that not required?
Also in iTunes Connect, I do not see any link which says Submit update or new version..
Do I first have to upload via Loader ...Please guide me. Thank you.
You should update the "version" field in your .plist, then submit a new binary.
In the application page, there is a "Add Version" button in the lower right corner, as follows:
Click "Add Version", clarify what is being updated/fixed/upgraded in the new version, make sure that all the other fields are correct, and then submit.
After that, you will have to use the Application Loader (Mac App) to upload your binary.
No matter how small or insignificant the updates are, you have to add a new version. Note that the current version will not be removed from the store, so you will not lose sales (or downloads).
Also, note that while there are technical ways to slightly circumvent this (e.g., by downloading dynamic code from the internet), such practices are strictly forbidden and will cause your app to be rejected.

Is there a way to see the progress status when we submit application to iTunes Connect

When we upload application from Xcode organizer, after we click the "Submit Application to iTunes Connect" button, is there a way to see the progress percentage?
There is no progress bar, but you can see what they currently do with your application via iTunes Connect.
But those aren't very detailed informations. Just wait and drink tea, it won't speed up anyway.
Because of the lack of feedback from the xcode uploader, I just use the Application Uploader utility. See the utility folder in the xcode applications folder.

Can my app provide an "Update in App Store" link?

For various reasons I need my iPhone app to include a way to tell the user that a new update for the app is available and prompt them to go update in the App Store.
It looks like there used to be an undocumented way to give an HTML link that would lead the iPhone to open the Upgrade page for app, or something?

Unfortunately it appears that iTunes links have changed format from these old "Phobos"-type links (which used "WebObjects") to something new? I'm not very familiar with the old system or the new one...
Can I create a link that will take my users directly to the "upgrade apps" screen on the App Store? Or even better, one that will initiate the upgrade for my app immediately?
Apple provides an iTunes Link Maker tool which you can use: http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker
Just put the "Media Type" as apps and type in the app name. Apple recommends using an NSURLConnection for opening the link within your app since it will cut out all of the re-directing that goes on and open straight into the AppStore app.

What is the instruction to release updated iPhone application to App Store?

My application just available on the App Store but I found an error, so I fixed it. But from this point I don't see any sort of document about "how to submit updated application to App Store?".
Could you help me with any clear instruction? Which I have to change to make the new version replace the old version and available for user to updated?
Follow the same build process as you did before - build an App Store release binary.
Log into iTunes Connect.
Click on 'Manage Your Applications'.
Click on your application icon.
Click on 'Update Application'.
Fill out the form and upload the zipped version of the new binary.
