When I go into iTunes connect and create a placeholder for a new App, it asks me for SKU.
It seems that I can pick a number out of the blue to use.
However, where can I find SKUs for my existing apps? I can't find this information anywhere!!!
And where can I change them? Can I? For my first couple of apps I just put in some random number to get past to the next screen. but can I subsequently reorganize everything?
Yet again the attempt to navigate through Apple's application deployment process has left me in a state of frustration and bewilderment.
If I click on "Manage You Applications" I see a list of both my iOS and Mac OS applications. Clicking on one of those brings me to the summary page for that application. This summary page lists the SKU, Bundle ID, and Apple ID for the application. This is true even for an app that is not yet available for sale.
As to changing it I do not see any way to do that and my suspicion is that you cannot. The SKU is used to identify the app so I believe the intent is that it should stay the same over the lifetime of the app.
Also, if you check the developer forums and search for SKU you will see several people saying that you cannot use a SKU again so that would reinforce the idea that they cannot be changed for an app once they have been set.
In the updated ITC you must go to "My Apps" - Choose the app you want to see the information. Click on the "More" menu item - "About This App" where you will find:
Primary Language
Bundle ID
Apple ID
SKU
The SKU can not be changed and the Bundle ID can only be changed before the submission of the 1st build.

I have an app that buttons and images and icons set for only representational purposes. My friend is making better ones and so my app is not finished yet but apple said that I have 30 days to submit a binary or my app will be deleted from the iTunes connect. So i uploaded my binary and here is the rejection message.
10.6: Apple and our customers place a high value on simple, refined, creative, well thought through interfaces. They take more work but are worth it. Apple sets a high bar. If your user interface is complex or less than very good it may be rejected
10.6
We found the following issues with the user interface of your app:
It would be appropriate to add additional functionality to the application in order to enhance the user’s experience. For ideas on how to improve
the user’s experience, you may wish to review the User Experience
Guidelines section of the iOS Human Interface Guidelines.
It would also be appropriate to differentiate, either in the Application Description or in the app, which purchases are consumable and which ones are non-consumable.
For technical assistance, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. Depending on your questions, be sure to include any crash logs, screenshots, or steps to reproduce the issues you’ve encountered.
These examples identify types of issues discovered in your app but may not represent all such issues. It would be appropriate to thoroughly evaluate your app to address these types of issues.
When I add icons, images and button images after my friend finishes them, my app would be approved right ? Is this the message that I should get from 10.6 ? And what does this message mean with
It would also be appropriate to differentiate, either in the Application Description or in the app, which purchases are consumable and which ones are non-consumable.
I have one non-consumable IAP and that is pro version IAP. All the others are consumable. I think it is clear that pro version is non-consumable because it has a restore button.
Last thing I want to ask is, since I uploaded a binary my app won't get deleted from iTunes connect right? My app is rejected but I uploaded a binary in time, anyone knows about this ?
Apple will not review incomplete or in test apps as the app store is not the place for testing. Really you should not create an app on iTunes connect until you are ready to submit to the app store.
I would suggest that most likely the app will not get deleted as you have submitted a binary but don't count on it especially as the version you submitted is incomplete and Apple may decide that therefore you still haven't submitted a proper app and delete it all the same
Even if you contact Apple they will not tell you if the app will be approved when the buttons are added. It is their policy to only review what you put in front of them and not to speculate on what will get through.
There are no guarantees that your app will get through the app store when the buttons are added, but you stand a much better chance as your app is complete. It will also depend on if you have followed all of Apple's rules and are not trying to do anything illegal.
I will be tempted to put your non consumable item in a separate section to clearly mark it and make it easier to get the app approved.

Lets say I submit my app for approval now. I set Availability Date to something like Nov. 30, 2011, because I have not yet decided when I really want to release my app. Then fortunately, my app gets approved.
Will I be able to edit the Availability Date after my app is approved?
Assuming question 1 gets a yes, let's say I then edit the Availability Date to Dec. 3, 2010. Will my app be available on the App Store on Dec. 3, 2010? I've heard that setting it to a future date after it was already available will take it out of the store, I want to know if the reverse also works.
Will there be any drawbacks for doing this? (This is actually my main concern)
For the record, I did search for similar questions, but still not satisfied with the replies in the other posts. Thanks in advance!
Yes, you can change availability anytime.
(and 3.) If you start selling your app by "accident" on a date that is today or before and then revoke it and then start selling it again at later date you can have some problems.
The problem will be with all the sites that scans for new apps and then present them on the promo-sites. A lot of people will look at the promos and them when searching for the app it will be gone from App Store (since you temporarily revoked it).
At the later date when you WANT to release the app the promo-sites will see it as an old app and not promote it, and you will get fewer customers.
You can change the availability date of your app in the "Rights and pricing" in the Manage Your Application part of the iTunesConnect site. This can be done at anytime in the publishing process.
You may remove your app from all territories if you want to take it off of the store once is it in the store. Then reenable the territory once you are ready for it to be for sale. I think that is a better solution than mucking with the release date.

I want to create a third version of an application that is already on AppStore. I want to add products to buy by In App Purchase.
I've tried all that i've readen in the forum but without success, all my products are "Invalid Product Indentifiers".
In my code, my products id are good.
Provisionning Profile has been regenerated after products creation and application built with it
I've disconnected my device from iTunes
The "Cleared for Sale" checkbox is checked
I test with my iPhone and not on the simulator
I test on debug mode from XCode
My products are cretaed from a long time (few days) so they must be availables
I've tried to submit the application and reject it.
I don't know how to resolve my problem. I need help. What can I test?
Thanks a lot
You said you reissued the provisioning profile, but did you also enable In-App Purchase on the app ID in the provisioning portal?
This happens a lot to us for unknown reasons, I usually end up having to delete the app from the phone, log out of the store (using Settings app) and perhaps reboot the phone.
Then after reinstall & restart you should be fine.

is there any LEGAL way (w/o jailbreak) to install iOS application to iOS device (ipad, iphone, ipod) without publishing to application store? For example - application for closed group of users (admins/moderators etc of some web application).
Apple supports "Ad-Hoc" application distribution for exactly this purpose, but it is limited to 100 devices. If you have an Enterprise developer account, you can do Ad-hoc distribution within your organization, as well.
iOS Developer Distribution Options
iOS Developer Enterprise Program
You need to apply for a Enterprise/Corporate development license with Apple. Then they provide the option to deploy without the app store.
The minimum amount of employees is high though (about 500 I think). EDIT: The employee restriction has been removed!
See this link for more info: http://developer.apple.com/programs/ios/enterprise/
Yes, ahdoc distribution allows you to installed on upto 100 devices (including the ones you use for development), all you have to do is have the paid for developer account (the standard $99 one).
Here's one explanation, but there are loads of articles around on the subject:
http://furbo.org/2008/08/06/beta-testing-on-iphone-20/
Update Summer 2013: The limit now seems to have been increased from 100 devices to 200 devices.
Without jailbreaking, there are solutions for private market places which bypass the app store.
Some of the names of these companies are:
Appaloosa
EnterpriseAppZone
apperian
mobileiron
appcentral
https://music-vk.com/ - These guys somehow make it possible to install their app directly via a Safari link. It requires no usernames, no passwords. Just click and it is installed right away. Haven't figured out how they do it though
Yes there is. Search 'hip store' on google and click on the first result. When you get there you type what app you want. Then when the app comes up click 'tai xoung' then a pop up comes up click 'tai xoung' again and then it will take you to another screen with a loading bar and it will count down. Then you will click install.

I am ready for distribute for my first iphone app in app store. I am an individual developer.I want to confirm from any experience individual developer who already distribute app in app store.
The question is i donot want to myself real name appear in my app. can i have another display name w instead of my real name appear with my app.
Careful
You can enter anything you want for the company name that appears i the app store but beware you can not change it once entered. This is knows as "Artist/Show" in Apple's reports. In order to have it changed you will have to contact Apple and it may take some time to get it corrected. In my case it took several months and several requests.
Read the docs carefully before entering anything, is clearly stated that the company name that appears in the app store can not be changed.
When you submit your app, even under an individual developer account, it will ask you for a company name. You can provide your own name or a company name you'd like to have appear in the listings. The company name you provide here will be used on your app's details page, but it will NOT be used everywhere across the board. The name you used to create your individual developer account will always show up in some places, such as "Other apps by this developer".
There's no easy way to do what you're asking - get in touch with Apple. Or reapply under a different name (perhaps a company, as suggested by #Devin Ceartas) and pay the fee again, then just publish the app under that account.
You can just change the name on your account to the one you want shown, you need to contact apple for this
I would imagine you'll have to consult with Apple to list your App under a different one than your developer license and provisioning. I made the leap to become an LLC even though I am the only one at the company I own doing iPhone dev so far, before I applied for the license to do the programming.
