I'm publishing my first Xamarin.iOS app to the store. I've set up my distribution profiles, set up the app on iTunes connect, and all seems well. I published my app for archiving and then successfully uploaded via the Application Loader.
What's broke is that iTunes Connect doesn't see my app - it says I still need to upload via Xcode or Application Loader... but when I try to upload my IPA (again) via the Application loader ("sign and distribute" via Xamarin), I get the error "ERROR ITMS-4238: "Redundant Binary Upload. There already exists a binary upload with build version '1.0' for train '1.0'" at SoftwareAssets/PreReleaseSoftwareAsset."
I don't see an option in ITunesConnect to delete this build and start over with another version, and it won't let me Submit for Review because it doesn't see the build as being uploaded.
I've opened a ticket with Apple over a week ago and haven't heard back. I know I could go with a different AppId but for all I know I'll hit the same wall. Anybody been down this road?
UPDATE #1
I've created version 1.1 of my app and uploaded it successfully to ITC. I see it in the Builds section (still don't see 1.0) but I can't add a new version of the app to "link" this build to because v1.0 is still "Preparing to Submit"
Apps - unable to create v1.1 while v1.0 is "Preparing to Submit."
Builds - v1.0 is not visible, but if I try to reupload ITC says it's there
UPDATE #2
I was able to link v1.0 of my app store submission to v1.1 build and submit the app for review. I don't know if this will go through or not, but it was at least submitted. I am now also able to "reject" this version, but if I do this I'm unable to add another version still (if I wanted to get a clean v1.1).
Each build you upload must have a unique build number. So if you upload 1.0 then the next must be 1.1 etc. What I do is keep the internal test builds with an extra .1 at the end so my internal would be 1.1.1, 1.1.2 etc and then I'll push 1.2 to the store when ready. You can also change the version number on your App's settings on iTunes Connect. They wont reject it as it's just the build number.

I'm not very familiar with TestFlight. I would like to add a build with a new version for my app. Do I need to add the new version to the App Store settings first?
For every build you upload to iTunes Connect you can decide whether you want to share it with testers on TestFlight and/or submit it for app store review.
When you share builds with TestFlight Apple will review these builds too and you can receive warnings to them too. The initial TestFlight build will be tested more extensively.
Do I need to add the new version to the App Store settings first?
I don't know about which app store settings you are talking about, but all you have to do before uploading to iTunes connect is set the code signing and provisioning profiles first in XCode and Apple's development portal and make sure you increment the build number on every new upload because the upload will fail if you try to upload a build with a build number already present on iTunes Connect.
Once uploaded iTunes Connect will start processing it and then you can share it for testing with TestFlight or submit for app store release review.
You can read more info about TestFlight in Apple's dev site
1 - Test Flight have nothing to do with Live apps
2 - Versions can contain unlimited number of builds before submitting one to the Live app store
3 - Every time you upload new build it goes under the version number in test flight.
So lets say I am on version 1.0, everyday I'am uploading new build under the same version number
day one : 1.0 (1)
day two: 1.0 (2)
And so on, after i upload the final build i can submit that to the live app store, next i will start working on version 1.1 I add that and submit builds to test flight as before, then i submit my 1.1 to the store, and so on .
On app store users will not see anything but the version submitted and current version live is not affected by any test flight version, i can be on version 9 on test flight but 3 on app store, and even schedule an update every month till i reach 9.
i'm trying to upgrade an iOs App on the App Store by releasing a new version. I've the iTunes Connect Account and I'm working on Xcode.
I've updated the Version and Build values from 1.0.15 to 1.0.16 in the Identity Section of my app *-Info.plist
Then I uploaded the build to the iTunes Connect from Xcode by doing:
Product -> Archive -> Validate -> and then Upload to the App Store...->
I selected the automatic signing authentication and chosen the App Team for profiling that I want the build to be uploaded to.
Xcode has uploaded the build to the iTunes Connect and no error have been thrown.
Now, when I go to my iOs build on the App Store, I expect to find it, but there isn't.
When I upload it again I now have this error:
It seems that the Apple Server already got the release.
So? Where is my build gone? How can I found it?
I read in some SO threads that there was a Prerelease View in the iTunes Connect but I'm unable to find it any more. Maybe it has been replaced?
EDIT 1
This is my Build iOs on iTunes Connect view.
The open tab is the previous build, my new one 1.0.16 it is not present in the list and I can't find it anywhere..
I knew that I could upload a newer version by incrementing the version and build.
If it will not appear soon I will assume an error occurred and try to submit a new one.
EDIT 2
One week has passed and the build hasn't appeared. So I have uploaded a new upgraded version to 1.0.17, but it's still not appearing in my activity tab.
I would like to point out that before loading the previus 1.0.16 version, I had already created a new app version in the App Store Tab.
Can this possibly causes the issue?
What else can it be?
I'm gonna wait a little more and if not appearing i'll open a support ticket.
Solution: check your email !
After days of waiting I discovered that my iTunes Connect associated email address had received feedback from the iTunes Store Team. The emails said there was issues on the app (Missing Info.plist key) that prevented the delivery to be processed.
It is important to check your email address from apple communications because some of that information cannot be found elsewhere!
If the build is uploaded to appstore, then it will take some time normally. In the mean time You can see your newly uploaded build in the activity section under the version of the app with a processing label in brackets(see ).
Once uploaded build with a version number and build number cannot be uploaded to appstore again.If you want to upload new build to appstore, then either change the version or build number and try again.
I just want to upload new build of my app. For that I uploaded through Xcode organizer. After receiving confirmation from organizer screen that "Upload Successful". I checked in Activity of iTunes connect tab, at that I've seen that my particulate build and version of app is under processing. But suddenly after 2-5 mins whole build and version information was disappear from same screen. Just like I've never upload that build and version. First I thought may be it's update from Apple Inc. But after 8-10 hours of upload build and versions are still not appearing in same place. So how can I invite testers using testFlight?
Try to validate the build before submitting it to App store. This will let you know if there are some problems in the build.
Make sure the provisioning profile and code signing identity are the correct one you can check this by clicking Save for App Store Submission option.
When you have the build uploaded the iTunes connect. Click on TestFlight beta testing, select the build you want to test and click start testing. You can invite two type of testers to test flight. One are known as internal testers, these testers are iTunes connect users. Other are external testers, you can add unto 1000 external testers by specifying their email. The external testing requires Beta Review of the application.
I had migrated the project from swift 2.0 to swift 3.0, and in IOS 10 new rules is implement that you must give permission for privacy setting. Bellow is the link Requesting Permission Privacy Settings in iOS 10.
So when I add some privacy setting related to my project and then Upload app again so error is solve...
One of my app is uploaded on mobile store, then after some months I have add new build but did not submit that build for review.
Now I updated my app with new designs and lots of changes. and I wanted to upload this new version on store. But I don’t know how to add app.
Because when I click on iTunes Connect --> My Apps --> App Store --> + VERSION OR PLATFORM, it shows only tvOS and iOS is disabled.
So now, how can I remove app from Waiting for Upload and how can I add new build ?
Here is screen shot :
I have read all documents provided by Apple Inc., but I didn’t found any option….related my scenario.

If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks.
One more thing I forgot to tell that Also I want to update screenshots and description details.
For creating a brand new version, just upload the binary, and then cancel it. As I see you updated your question, this is a final solution for you then.
For uploading a build:
1. Access the version page.
Sou you should see a frame that will contain your build.
2. Your binary should be uploaded via
a) Xcode
b) Application loader
iTunes connect will pair your binary with the version according to the App ID and version saved in the Xcode target settings.
If you need to have the version of 2.0 for instance, change the version number both in
Xcode target build settings
within the App version page
First Try to upload it again.
If your upload is successful, it should be changed your status to Waiting For Review.
after change the status to waiting for uplaod -->> waiting for review and after that you an remove this app an add the new version and uplaod again.
follow this step:
step1- you can upload this build and change the status to waiting for review.
step2- after change the status you can delete this version.
step3- and create the new version and upload again with same screen shots.
To delete an app from the store and iTunes Connect
Open the App Details page for the app, as described in Creating an iTunes Connect Record 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 build or by removing the app from sale. See Viewing and Changing Your App’s Status and Availability.
You can see more details at Transferring And Deleting Apps
Status for your Version 1.4 is waiting for upload. That means you must upload the App with Version 1.4 If you have already uploaded the app with version 1.4 and you don't want to use that build just increase the build number and keep the version number same 1.4.
Image with Build Number
So I've been trying to upload my app to test flight following this guide:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iIr2uN5Yj8
I've created AppID, using Bundle Identifier from my App. I can see it in my App IDs.
I've created a provisioning profile for iOS Distribution. If I check in Xcode->preferences->accounts->my account I can see that new profile there.
I've added new iOS app in iTunes Connect. I used my AppID I've created before as my Bundle ID. As for version, I just put 1.0 there just as it says in my app (Version: 1.0 Build: 1)
Used some random SKU.
In Xcode I archived my App but there was no button to submit it to TestFlight. I could only export the .ipa file, validate it, upload to App Store or Download dSYMs (if I click that one it would say that "an app record for "appID" was found but a matching version for 1.0 build 1 was not.
So what have I done wrong here? Is it the version? Should I've put there not just 1.0 but 1.0 (1) instead?
Update:
Could the reason be that I didn't activate TestFlight Beta?
Thanks.
You need to choose Upload to App Store option in Archive. As all the applications are by default uploaded to TestFlight, then while you are submitting it for iTunes you need to select which build you want to publish or put in review.
Once your app is successfully uploaded it will appear in prerelease section. Initially it will show Uploaded state, then after some time it will turn to Processing at last you will be able to open it for your Internal users.
For more details you can always refer Apple documentation.
.
Select upload to App Store.
Go to iTunes connect -> Prerelease and select TestFlight Beta Testing
