As per apple documentation link
Your app version will then be live on the store pending the customary processing times usually it takes 24 hours to reflect.

Ready for sale app cannot be found without iTunes connect

I have uploaded an app to apple app store, its status shows Ready for sale, and I can view it from itunes connect with View on App store, but when I search for it, I can't find it.
It should available for all territories, so any account from any country should be fine.
Also, when I viewed it through iTunes, I purchased it, and on my iPhone it appears on my Purchases list, when I click to show app info it keeps loading forever.
what is going on?
You can try a simple trick - go back to app description, make a simple edition and save. I tried it after waiting more than 24 hours and in AppStore there was still available the old version of my app. After that, the new app's version became visible within an hour.
Check build version for your app and testing device. If app version is higher, than test device, it may be not visible on AppStore
I have the same issue I upload the new version of the app with the help of iTunesConnect but the app store does not show my new version.
when I upload the app into iTunes I upload the app version 1.06 but due to some error upload is invalid so again I fix the minor error and upload again but this time but not opening again the version (i have already open iTunes so I just upload the new build but not create the new version into iTunes.)
so I click the new version again on the iTunes connect account and set also the same version 1.0.7 and set the same version on the app and change the build number and upload again from Xcode into iTunes and then save and click to submit the after one-day reviewing time my new version uploaded on the app store.

Waiting for beta App Review on Testflight

I had uploaded my App successfully to TestFlight, 5 days ago(with new version and new build number). Which is already uploaded on App Store (But with its Older version).
Now i have added external user to test it and select the build to test and then click on save button, then it is showing "Waiting for beta App Review".
I don't know why user is not added directly rather app goes into "Waiting for beta App Review", and how much time it will take to approve?
Please help me if anyone has faces such issue.
Once you add another user (ie not your apple id), then it must be reviewed by Apple first to ensure the app is safe (contains no malicious intent) for the users testing it.
Normally takes a couple of days for apple to turn around and approve.
There is a distinction between iTunes Connect users and people in TestFlight.
When you upload build, and it shows up, then it becomes visible to your users. But there is an approval process (presumably automated) before TestFlight users see the announcement (assuming it is approved).

Appstore release affecting TestFlight testers?

Say for example internal and external testers under TestFlight are testing the application. Then a live Appstore release that was uploaded previously gets approved. Will the current testers get the new app update which will override the current test build?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Testing
Once you accept your invitation, you’ll be able to download a beta version of the app you’ve been invited to test. If you already have the live app installed on your device, the beta version of the app will replace the live version. When you’ve downloaded the beta app, you’ll see an orange dot next to its name that identifies it as a beta. TestFlight will notify you each time a new build is available and provide instructions on where to focus. You can easily offer feedback by tapping the Provide Feedback button in the App Details view in TestFlight. An email automatically opens with pertinent app and device details, and you can add additional details and screenshots.
The beta period lasts for 60 days, starting on the day it is released
to testers. In TestFlight, the number of days remaining appears below
the Open button for each app.
If a beta app has In-App Purchases, you do not have to purchase them,
as In-App Purchases made with beta builds are free within the context
of the beta version.
Quote from this link
Tester won't get notified whether the original app is approved by Apple or not. If the app is approved, then user have to download app via App Store. But if tester downloads app from App Store, then it's gonna override the test version.
Apple developer site says
When the app becomes Ready for Sale in the App Store, testing automatically stops on earlier builds, and you will be unable to view or test them.
Refer this link
I think the tester will get an email saying the app has been updated and approved. Since the normal upload will be notified by an email, but haven't tried it ,
TestFlight testers will get notification by email and after app live beta version of app will be unavailable and when they update their app they get live update app.

Can I upload a new binary but with the same version number to the Apple iTunes Connect for an app with Ready for Sale status?

I submitted an app on Apple's iTunes Connect portal with version number 2.2 almost 3 months ago and it is in the Ready for Sale status as of now.
Now, I have a requirement to submit a new binary of the app with the same version record (2.2) on iTunes Connect (without creating a new record). I see that I cannot edit my version record on iTunes Connect.
But is it possible that if I increase the Build number in my Info.plist file and keep the Version number as 2.2 itself, will I be able to upload a new binary on the same iTunes Connect record via Xcode?
Also, if the above is possible, will the users who have already installed the app on their device receive an app update notification for this binary?
Now, I have a requirement to submit a new binary of the app with the same version record (2.2)
You can't. Once an app has gone on sale, iTunes connect will not accept a new binary unless you up the version number.

what prepare for app means in itunes connect

I have just finished my first app and finished all the instructions I have seen so ao to upload it to iTunes. Now, I see in the Itunes>Manage Your Application
Version1.0
Status Prepare for Upload
Date CreatedSep 23, 2012
next to the app icon.
Do I have to do anything else or it just waits approval from apple?
I know that this is not a programming question but I did't know where to aski and googling for it gave me nothing.
I have found that prepare for upload means that:
Prepare for Upload (Yellow)
Appears as the first status for your app. This status means that you should enter or edit metadata, screenshots, pricing, In-App Purchases, Game Center, iAd network settings, etc., to prepare your app for upload to the App Store.
but I have submitted add data and screenshots. How can I proceed to the next level?
Preparing an app for submission means configuring its metadata , or related in app purchases or if its a game then configuring game center , so once you are over with developing your app then you are ready to submit it to the iTunes app store review . so in your case you can follow the this link to upload your app to the app store. hope this would help.
