I uploaded my App successfully to the iTunes store. But now i need to test the app using TestFlight. for this i added some Internal Testers. But when i clicked on Select Version to Test The latest build is not showing up in the list. I don't know why?.
I also verified my Build 11 on the iTunes. It shows that there are no testers available for this build.
How can i add Testers to Build 11 ?
you can click (Not Available for testing) --> save , then (select version to test ) select your new version , fill the informations, then click save and start testing .
I faced same issue. I Uploaded builds were in queueing and its showing "Processing" , “After builds are uploaded they will go through a processing state before they can be used.” .
Now you try this select a "Internal Testers," making a change, and saving immediately clear the queue: The latest build was now active and available for testing.
Update: At this point, all beta are off. It seems "processing" happens when Apple quietly upgrades iTunes Connect and there's nothing you can do about it.
Look at here for more info My prerelease app has been "processing" for over a week in iTunes Connect, what gives?
According to screenshots i think your latest build is in Processing state to upload.It take some time(10-20 minutes) to complete to upload on store.
once it complete
select the build then click on save button
after then open testflight your latest build automatically updated there no need to set again their.
set your internal or external testers and press SAVE on test flight.
if u already added testers press edit and remove previously added testers and save it. then again add testers and press save(it will send a new notification mail to the testers for the new build)
your new build is ready for testing.

I'm uploaded my app to Testflight and it is working ok. Now I need to deploy a new version in App Store. I readed the doc, but ITunesConnect has different user interface and I'm not sure how I can to push from ITunesConnect to AppStore in the simple way. Any idea, link?
Thanks.
For question regarding how to promote from Test Flight to App Store new version:
After expiring the Test Flight build as others explained, today the way it worked was:
Click blue + symbol to add iOS app
When you get the pop-up for Store Version Number - it does not need to match your actual build and version number.
Once you do this, you will then see the yellow "Prepare for Submission"
Click that and you will see the view to select the latest build
If you want to select a build from test flight and make it live on App-store follow these steps.
Note: there should be builds present in the test flight.
Go to https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
Go to "My apps".
Step 1: Click on prepare for submission.
Step 2: Scroll down and go to builds section and click on "select your build".
Step 3: Select your build from the list of builds you have uploaded on test flight.
Expire your build from testing and then create new release based on this build (blue button "+ VERSION OR PLATFORM" on left menu in "App Store" tab).
This is where you can submit version for review and then release automatically.
Desmond: From Apple Store Connect
(https://help.apple.com/app-store-connect/#/devdc42b26b8)
From TestFlight directions:
Step 7: Stop testing
When you are done testing, you can optionally expire a build to stop testing it, and then go to Overview of publishing an app for the process of submitting your app to the App Store. If you don’t expire your build and submit it to the App Store, testers that have received an invite to test will still be able to test your build even after it goes live on the App Store. Your build will become unavailable in TestFlight after 90 days.
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.
How do I upload my app I made in Xcode to iTunes Connect to invite Beta testers to download it?
I read the documentation and I tried what it said but it never uploaded my app.
If you have a ready app,
1) Choose "generic iOS device" (don't choose any other devices connected or a simulator)
2) Go to Product --> Archive
3) If everything is fine, it should open the archive in the Organizer - there you can change the name of your upload if you wish. When ready click "validate" and then "Submit to App Store".
*) When creating the next version of the archive don't forget to change the version number from 1.0 to something different (it's "Bundle Version" somewhere in supporting files)
As the above answers are bit old and there have been some changes in iTunesConnect. You can follow these steps to upload build for beta testing :
Archive the project by clicking Product->Archive(make sure that the device selected is "Generic iOS Device", else the archive option will be disabled)
Xcode will take some time to archive the project, after successful archive a window will open (archive window).
There will be option "Validate" (it is always recommended to validate a build before uploading to app store). Click on the "Validate" option and if everything is alright you will see a green tick.
Next click on the "Submit to App Store" option, it will take some time to upload the build.
Once upload is complete login to your iTunesConnect account. There MyApps ->
YOUR_APP_NAME.
There you will see a option Testflight. Inside that option you will see "iOS Builds". Check if the uploaded build is shown there, if not, don't worry it takes few minutes.
Now coming to the adding beta testers part. There are 2 ways ie. either you can add the testers as internal testers or external testers
a) Internal Testers
Check this link. You do not need beta review for adding internal testers.
b) External Testers
This requires beta App review. Beta app review takes less time than the actual app review. For submitting for beta app review click on the build no in Testflight->iOS Builds->build no.(something like 1.0)
Click on the "Add Testers to the build" and follow the steps. Once the app is beta reviewed, invite will be send to the testers automatically(if you choose to). You only need to submit once per build for beta review. Once a build is beta reviewed you can add upto 2000 testers.
Hope this helps.
From the Xcode menu, go to Window, then choose Organizer
From there, validate your build, then if it's good, click "Submit to app store."
After it goes through, log in to iTunes Connect and you will see your build toward the bottom of the screen
The following are the steps that are valid as of July, 2019:
Change the version number and/or build number for the app in the general properties.
Select Generic IOS Device to build.
Choose Product/Archive to create an archive of the app. The Archive Organizer window will appear.
Validate the App.
Choose Distribute to upload the App.
After the app processes, you will get an email. This usually takes less than an hour.
Log in to appstoreconnect.apple.com and select your new build/version. Then add test groups or individual testers. You may have to answer the encryption export question, and you will be asked to describe the changes in this new version. After you hit submit, the app goes to Apple for review.
After about a day, Apple will approve your app for distribution and automatically notify your testers (if you selected that option). Your testers then should go to the Test Flight app on their phones to download the latest version of your app.
Submit your app build to the App Store like normal via Xcode.
Then go into iTunes Connect -> My Apps -> Your App -> then go to the Prerelease tab.
In the Prerelease tab it will show your builds you've uploaded. There you will see the ability to Submit For Beta App Review.
Once they approve it then you're golden :)
You need to build - submit your app via Xcode to App Store, make sure you have proper icons embedded, otherwise, xcode will stop and warn you what you need to include for your app.
Then, (create if needed) and login to iTunes Connect, go to my apps, you will see your app. Then you could add testers for beta test, you will get some crash logs if any.
I submitted an updated iOS app. I want to submit another build instead of that.
I removed the binary from review and i deleted the build. No way to upload the same version build again at the time of validation its showing same build already exists.I want to replace this update with another build.
Hope this will help.
There is an option to Cancel the binary in iTunes. Select that and upload the new binary.
Open Itunes account.....
Select Manage Your Applications....
Click on the application....
Click on View details....
Click on Binary Details....
Select 'Reject Binary'....
Just change the build.
Let's say your build is 2.0 , change it to 2.01 , archive this and upload again.
Once you have submitted an app for review, you have an option to remove the app which is being reviewed. Just navigate to "App Store" in iTunesConnect you can see the message and link to remove your app. You can change the build number and upload a new build to AppStore again using Xcode or Application loader.
The "Remove this version from review" link is on the same page from where you have submitted the app: AppStore Connect > App Store > iOS App > [Your app version]
But it will appear only after a few minutes after your submission, so don't be desperate if you can't find it anywhere. Just wait a few mins and reload the page.
In some rare cases it might not appear after a long time. If that's the case, check answers for this question
We found bug after we submit the binary for approval in itunes connect and we upload a new build but we can not figure out how to replace the new build in itunes connect. the status of the build active.
Any of you knows how can replace the binary is for a approval with the new version of the binary?
I found this : How to replace app in itunes connect, while waiting in review?
But it seems to make reference to the old version of itunes connect.
Create a new build with new version, say your app version is 1.0, you need a new build with 1.0.1 but keep the version same.
Submit the build from xCode and wait for sometime, it takes a while to show up in the iTunes connect
In your app detail page now you should be able to click Build and select the right build version
I think this is what i did when i had the same scenario. Hope it helps!
Create a new Archive with new Bundle version Short,String In Your Info.plist. Ex.1.1 After That And Yes Donot Change Your version keep it same as previous vesion.
After That Upload Your Binary
Your App Detail Page Go to build setting and Remove Old Binary And Choose new binary that you previosly uploaded..It may Be help you.
You can't remove and replace the build anymore until you remove the app from review.
You go to your app detail page, under App Store, in app store connect, then at the top of the page there's a blue notification that indicates and confirms that in order to submit a new-build you must remove the version from review and gives you a link to click to do that.
Once you do, you can scroll down to builds and click the minus button on your build to remove it and then add a new one.
You just need to change the build number (from 1 to 2 for example) in the application info page (inside Xcode). The build number is enough (do not change the version ... I mean leave x.y as it was before). The build number would be enough to have a new entry in the list of builds in iTunes Connect. If you have already submitted the app, you have a button to cancel the review (if it's is not completed yet). Then resend the app for review (choosing by the list of available builds) and that's it.
