I've uploaded my first App to App Store, but I did NOT put on the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities that my App requires location-services and wifi. RESULT: the app does not start looking for the coordinates as it should do. (When I've installed the App through XCode in my iPhone 4 it works perfectly).
So, I've tryed to upload a new version with this UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities correctly set, and I got following error message after trying to Upload the new version:
"The Bundle is invalid. The key UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities in the Info.plist may not contain values that would prevent this Application from running on devices that were supported by previous versions."
So, as I understood, I am NOT able to set the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities to this App anymore, is that right?
My idea was: I delete this App, and after that I go through all the steps to submitt the App to the App Store again. But when I clicked on the "Delete this App" button, I got following error message:
"Deleting it will permanent remove it from iTunes Connect along with any associated in App Purchases. The Application Name and SKU will not be reusable, even once the application is deleted."
That's very bad, cause I can't change the name of my App. What Can I do to be able to upload a new version of my App with the new UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities?
For me I ran into this issue when I recently added HealthKit to my app. I fixed it by removing this row on info.plist.
Rename your app in iTunes Connect by submitting a new update which changes the App name.
Create a new App in iTunes Connect and enter the original name of your App. (The original name of the App you renamed in step 1)
Delete your old app which you have renamed in step 1
Using that trick you can realize your idea. ;-)
The only loss is that you have to enter all your app's meta data again. And don't forget that you will loose the reviews and ratings your customers left on the App Store. (BTW, a good way to get rid of bad reviews. ;-) )

Hey I don't have much to say but I've been trying to upload my app to the App Store/ iTunes connect from Xcode 9 but whenever I do I get the same error message but I'm not 100% sure on how to fix the issue. If it helps I'm using Swift, Xcode, Cocoapods, and Firebase.
Below is the Error Message
No suitable application records were found. Verify your bundle identifier 'org.cocoapods.Protobuf' is correct.
Thanks
By removing all of the pods, I figured out this is not related to the pods at all.
The error now became to "Could not find the main bundle or the Info.plist is missing a CFBundleIndentifier in ..."
After several hours debugging, I found in the Info.plist, there's a key named "Bundle OS Type code", my original value was $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_PACKAGE_TYPE), this resulted into the error above.
By changing the value of Bundle OS Type code to APPL. I'm able to upload the app binary.
In my case, it was a problem with app access on appstoreconnect. In App information section, additional information subsection, edit user access option, you can change user access to the app.
We had a developer account configured along with the admin account in xcode. It seems xcode can't access app metadata when a developer account is active.
Either change app access to unlimited or log as admin on xcode. Hope this helps.
I released a new iPhone App recently, but once it appeared in the App Store following Apple's review, the App Store icon was surprisingly ugly; so I want to replace it right away.
However, whilst I'd expected to be able to do that through iTunesConnect or the Developer Portal, I haven't been able to find any way to revisit all the App meta data and screenshots etc. that I'd uploaded during the App ID registration phase.
My suspicion is that I may need to make this minor change to the App officially, as a version update; can anyone confirm this, or suggest how I should be replacing the App Store icon image quickly, please?
Bad news. Seems like you have to release an update for this purpose. Check this link
It states
Beginning January 9, app screenshots will be locked in iTunes Connect once your app has been approved. New screenshots may be uploaded when you submit a binary for an update to an existing app or a new app
So this really put headache on my head and I finally gave up and posted question here. I am trying to update one of my client Application in iTune store and we are facing below error while uploading to App store.
So, I already tried couple of solution by creating new app id with the bundle sid id twice. Also delete all old profile etc. But nothing worked yet.
1). iTunes Connect App Bundle ID = 8X8ZP823D6.com.pregnancytoolspro.55freebabysamples
2). Info.plist Bundle ID = com.pregnancytoolspro.55freebabysamples
3). Provision profile ID = 8X8ZP823D6.com.pregnancytoolspro.55freebabysamples
When I Changed Info.plist App ID to com.pregnancytoolspro.55freebabysamples then it show me provision profile active in the list.
If I changed Info.plist App ID to 8X8ZP823D6.com.pregnancytoolspro.55freebabysamples then it doesn't show me provision profile active in the list.
When I build app and upload to App store it pop up this message and I can't understand how it should be in info.plist and in provision profile so that it can match iTunes Bundle ID.
Is anyone faced this problem before ? Please help me out.
We contacted Apple support and they said they will have to change Bundle Identifier in the App we have added in our account. So probably Apple will solve this critical issue.
I've had this issue before. It has to do with the different versions saved in the info.plist.
There is a version and build identifier.
Apple doesn't really care about the version as much as the build number. If you have submitted your app with a build number, the update must be 1 greater for the update to work. It isn't all that clear how that works, but that is how I got my update to go through. You should be able to find out what these were in iTunesConnect so you can increment them correctly.
I got an App on AppStore, but since I launched it on the store, I have made some changes. How do I update my App to appstore?
Thanks
Needless to say, i JUST wan't to rename my Application so that it shows a different name on the Home screen of the user
Go to itunesconnect.apple.com and login. Then you go on manage applications and choose your app to update. There you can prepare your app to the update with informations etc.
To Rename the app you have to look in the plist file. There is a row for the product name. This is the name that is displayed on the screen.
After this. Archive the App with the distribution provisoning file and submit mit through the organizer.
An update is pretty much the same process as the initial release. Make your changes and test on your device. When you are happy with it, build the release version and use the "Add Version" button in itunesconnect to upload the new version of the app.
In your plist you can change the "Bundle display name" key. If your bundle identifier remains the same this will just change the name of your app in springboard.
App update process is smilier to new release app but you have to remember two major things.
Change the version of your app in plist file
Add a new version of your app in ituneconnect with the same version no you entered into the plist file.
I submitted my app in the App Store. First I validated it, and turns out successful. Then I submitted it and succesfully uploaded to iTunes Connect. After a minute, it says that the file is Invalid binary. I am uploading an update of an existing app which is already published in the App Store. (previous version uploaded by other developer). I tried every solution that I found in google search but no luck.
Just for information.
Today I faced the same problem of Invalid Binary while uploading new version of existing application.
I got following email from apple
iPhone 5 Optimization Requirement - Your binary is not optimized for
iPhone 5. As of May 1, all new iPhone apps and app updates
submitted must support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5. All apps must
include a launch image with the -568h size modifier immediately
following the portion of the launch image's filename.
Launch images must be PNG files and located at the top-level of your
bundle, or provided within each .lproj folder if you localize your
launch images. Learn more about iPhone 5 support and app launch images
by reviewing the iOS Human Interface Guidelines and iOS App
Programming Guide.
Once these issues have been corrected, go to the Version Details page
and click "Ready to Upload Binary." Continue through the submission
process until the app status is "Waiting for Upload." You can then
deliver the corrected binary.
Solution:
Added 4inch app screen shots in iTunesconnect meta data
Added Default-568h#2x.png image in my application for iPhone 5
After these changes application successfully submitted.
Need to add arm64
I faced the same problem of Invalid Binary while uploading new version of existing application.
The reason are from February 2015 itself we need to Add arm64 to our app. i added this then my app successfully upload to app store.
Try to check the provisioning you made for the itunes store are correct with your application.
Remove the old binary which has been rejected then add the new one.
If you can do try to make fresh provisioning and also check in the xcode as well.
And do check the mode,is that debug or distribution as you need to make the build for distribution.
Hope it man help you.
Cheers

You cannot submit an app that uses the same bundle ID or the same app name of any app (even the "same" one) submitted by another developer account.
Make sure you have choosen "App Store" as distribution method in distribution provisioning profile, not "Ad Hoc".
I have faced this issue many times.My app got passed validation and submitted
successfully to iTunes Connect.But It shows invalid binary in prerelease
options.I saw one awesome post in Apple discussions and finally solved my
issue.App bundle id was changed in config file of my web app.I have changed
old bundle id in config.xml and app uploaded for review.
Try using the Application Loader under /Developer/Applications/Utilities. Make sure you have created a New App in iTunesConnect...under Manage Applications, select the application you are going to create an update for... when that loads on the right you will see Add a New Update.
