I have an app, which uses Apple Universal Links feature. So, this app should be opened, when user clicks on my web site link. But, somehow, this happens. One of the reasons is wrong App ID. Can test flight change it somehow?
UPD: The Apple App ID is a two part string used to identify one or more apps. Specifically, the Apple app ID is your team ID and bundle ID joined with a period, for example: 1A234H7ABC.com.yourdomain.YourApp.
No, the app ID should not change. The bundle ID should never change and neither should the team ID. You should check your device logs when installing the app to see if the AASA file is getting downloaded. This could be an iOS 11.2 issue in which you'll have to delete the app and re-download it.
I created application in iTunes connect and download archive for beta testing. But I make a mistake in application name and now I want to delete it and create new with correct name. There are many similar topics, but the solution to deselect all countries in Pricing not working for me.
The following error(s) occurred:
You must select at least one App Store territory in which you want to make your app available.
In apple documentation it is also said, that application should be reviewed at least 1 time to be rejected by developer, does it mean that I should send my app for review and only after it I would be able to delete my app? It is kinda stupid. At the moment my app has status "Prepare for Submission" and has not released version, only beta testing.
In your case you need to create new application in iTunes Connect with new bundle id (you should also generate new in developer portal). Because you can't update it:
The bundle ID must match the one you used in Xcode. It can't be
changed after you upload your first build.
You can upload your binary and send to review and remove your wrong application when it will pass review.
Also check this question, #pion answer with comments: Deleting an app in iTunes Connect
They provided some workaround, maybe it will help you.
I am an iOS application developer and I am facing a problem with the itunes connect, due to some problems I have rejected the binary of the application in itunes connect.Now that app is showing as "Developer Rejected" state, can I remove this application from itunes connect?
Answer is Yes.
Why you need to remove the app ? If you want to keep the app, you can upload a newer version.
If you don't want to keep that app permanently you can delete it. For deleting an app you need to follow these steps.
Open the App Details page for the app, as described in To open the App Details page for an app.
Make sure that the app status allows deletion.
You can delete your app if there is at least one approved version of the app and the latest version status is one of the following:
Prepare for Submission
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
Metadata Rejected
Developer Removed From Sale
Removed from Sale
If your app has a different status, you can delete the app by first rejecting the binary or by removing the app from sale. See Viewing and Changing Your App’s Status and Availability.
Click the More menu and select Delete App.
If the Delete App button isn’t displayed, check that you’re the team agent and that the app is in one of the statuses that allow the app to be deleted.
A confirmation dialog appears. Click Delete.

I submitted a brand new app to AppStore and it got rejected by the Lords ... (nothing new there). What I want to do is delete that app completely from my itunesconnect account. I don't know what apple recently changed but in the past once the app was rejected I use to see a "delete" button on the summary page. Now I don't see one anymore.
I even checked Apple official documentation HERE and that too says that I should be able to delete it from appstore using delete button as long as the app is in reject state but the delete button is no where to be found.
I already tried removing it from all territories under "rights & pricing" and availability date is in the past Jan 22nd, 2014 ... still no delete button is visible.
How can I remove it?
Note: there were no in-app purchases or game center.
Here's the answer to my question I got back from Apple support.
Hi XXX,
I am following up with you about the deletion of your app, “XXX”. Recent changes have been made to the App Delete feature. In order to delete your app from iTunes Connect, you must now have one approved version before the delete button becomes available. For more information on the recent changes, please see the "Deleting an App" section of the iTunes Connect Guide (page 96-97):
You can only delete an app from the App Store if it was previously approved (meaning has one approved version).
From iTunes Connect Developer Guide - Transferring and Deleting Apps:
Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted; instead, reject the app.
As of 2016, new changes have been made to iTunes Connect. Here are the screenshots of deleting an approved app from your account.
Edit December 2018: Apple seem to have finally added a button for removing the app in certain situations, including apps that never went on sale (thanks to #iwill for pointing that out), basically making the below answer irrelevant.
Edit: turns out the deleted apps still appear in Xcode -> Organizer -> Archives and there is no way to delete them from there even if there are no archives! So more looks like a fake delete of sorts.
Currently (Edit: as of July 2016) there is no way of deleting your app if it never went on sale.
However, all information except for SKU can be edited and thus reused for a new app, including the app name, Bundle ID, icon, etc etc. Because SKU can be anything (some people say they use numbers 1, 2, 3 for example) then it shouldn't be a big deal to use something unrelated for your new app.
(Honestly though I'm hoping Apple will fix this soon. I almost hear some Apple devs finding excuses for not implementing it (you know, it will break the database and will kill innocent pandas) and some managers telling the devs to just frigging do it regardless.)
You Can Now Delete App.
On October 4, 2018, Apple released a new update of the appstoreconnect (previously iTunesConnect).
It's now easier to manage apps you no longer need in App Store Connect by removing them from your main view in My Apps, even if they haven't been submitted for approval. You must have the Legal or Admin role to remove apps.
From the homepage, click My Apps, then choose the app you want to
remove. Scroll to the Additional Information section, then click
Remove App. In the dialog that appears, click Remove. You can restore
a removed app at any time, as long as the app name is not currently in
use by another developer.
From the homepage, click My Apps. In the upper right-hand corner,
click the arrow next to All Statuses. From the drop-down menu, choose
Removed Apps. Choose the app you want to restore. Scroll to the
Additional Information section, then click Restore App.
You can show the removed app by clicking on all Statuses on the top right of the screen and then select Removed Apps. Thank you #Daniel for the tips.
Please note:
you can only remove apps if all versions of that app are in one of the following states: Prepare for Submission, Invalid Binary, Developer Rejected, Rejected, Metadata Rejected, Developer, Removed from Sale.
As per 2018 in App Store Connect. We can delete/remove application with following stats.
App Store Connect details for Remove an app
So, from now onwards we can delete our test applications too from app store connect.
Easy.
(as of 2021)
Click your app, click App Information in the left side menu, scroll all the way down to the Additional Information section, click Remove App.
Boom. done.
As the instructions state on the iTuneconnect Developer Guidelines you need to ensure that you are the "team agent" to delete apps. This is stated in the quote below from the developer guidelines.
If the Delete App button isn’t displayed, check that you’re the team agent and that the app is in one of the statuses that allow the app to be deleted.
I have just checked on my account by logging in as the main account holder and the delete button is there for an app that I have previously removed from sale but when I have looked in as another user they don't have this permission, only the main account holder seems to have it.
I had the same problem with a dummy app that happened to have the same name as my final app and couldn't publish because the App Name is already in use
To fix it, instead of deleting it(which you can't) I just changed the name of the dummy app to something random and hit SAVE. Then I was able to add the new app with the proper name
Apps can’t be deleted if they are part of a Game Center group, in an app bundle, or currently displayed on a store. You’ll want to remove the app from sale or from the group if you want to delete it.

I have an app that uses in app purchases, and they worked fine when i tested them. That app is now in the app store. So I wanted to make a similar app, so i duplicated the project folder (in finder), renamed it, renamed the project in Xcode, changed the Identifier/Bundle ID, made a new app ID for it, made a provisioning profile for it, set it up in itunes connect (pretty much everything I did for the original app), but when i make a product request the array comes back empty. The app's status is "waiting for upload" and the IAP status is "waiting for review". Is there something besides the IDs that I need to change, that's lingering over from the original app that could be messing it up? I've gone thru walkthroughs and double checked everything, so not sure what else it could be.
There may be something wrong with the store as of December 12, 2011.
My in app purchases have suddenly stopped working today. I haven't changed any code, and the identifiers being returned as "invalid" match what's registered in iTunes Connect. I'll post again if I find something out anything more.
It turned out I needed to request only the product name, not com.companyname.app.productname...unlike my other app, which DID use the bundle ID...silly apple.
The only thing that matters is the bundle identifier. Also make sure to clean all caches and to do a full rebuild, but I assume that you knew that already.
Of course, also ensure that your provisioning/distribution certificates are valid.
Have you also added the in-app purchases to the new app under iTunes Connect?
