update an app which is pending developer release

app-store, app-store-connect, ios

Solution

You will have to reject the current build and remove it from Versions and then choose the new build you want to use.

Hope that helps :)

Problem

I have an app which is in pending developer release (approved by Apple). The app was never released at all. Now I wanted to submit an update. Therefore I increased the `CFBundleVersion`, but he complained. So I increased the `CFBundleShortVersionString` too. In iTunes Connect I can see under pre-releases my new submission. But in the versions view I see the old release. So how can I approve the update? It would be nice if I could manage the time of the release by myself. So that it stays in pending for developer release. What are my options? Should I reject the binary? What version/build numbers should I take? Can I reuse the old ones?
