(iTunes Connect) - Submit first app product - upload

I know that this question may have been asked several times, sorry, but I really can't find out how can I submit my first app product to the iTunes Connect. The In App Purchase section keep saying something like "Your first in app purchase must be send with a new app version", but my app is still in development and so it would be rejected.
Where do I have to upload it for approval?

You have to finish your app first and have a working version ready. In XCode simply click on your device selection where it usually says iPhone 6 and select iOS Device on top. Then Click on Product --> Archive.
Once the app is archived you can see on the right hand side a widget for submitting it to the appstore.
Make sure your provisioning profile is created, downloaded and installed from your Developer Account.

Apple configurator 2 could not install app

I have designed the ios app and now I want my app to be tested by some other member of team. I generated .ipa as well as .app files of the app. I have install Apple Configurator 2 in my mac os. But when I use that apple configurator to install my app then the app is shown installed in the configurator but in the iPhone the icon shown is dark in color and when I click that nothing happens. But when I deploy app using xcode everything is working good for same configuration.
I don't know what all data is needed to post here for this issue,so if anything is required more than this pls ask.
I think there are four things you should confirm.
Certificate(Production) is not Expired?
Provisioning File(Distribution) is not Expired?.
Provisioning File(Distribution) is for AdHoc build (not for App Store)?
Provisioning File(Distribution) does contain your device UDID(Paulw11's answer)?
Maybe you need to go developer.apple.com and check your Certificates & Profiles.
[Other possibilities]
If you set date & time of your iOS device manually like 2020/1/29 for testing or something I think app won't run too.
Apple provies "TestFlight" https://developer.apple.com/testflight/
The way how to use it is almost same with submitting an app for review in App Store.
Create an App ID
Create a provisioning profile with the App ID you created.(Type is "Distribution - App Store")
Build an app with the provisioning profile you created.
Go App Store Connect and Open "My Apps" and create your app.
Upload an app (*.ipa file) to App Store Connect(*1)
Go App Store Connect and Open "My Apps" and select an app you uploaded.
Select "TestFlight" Tab.
Open "Export Compliance" dialog.
Answer the question about your app and click next(maybe this step repeats two or three times).
Click "Start Internal Testing." (Now you can deliver your beta app in your group.)
If you want deliver your app to external tester, add external tester(this needs Apple's app review)
(*1)
Last time I used TestFlight was several years ago, and at that time, I uploaded my app with "Application Loader" but I found this tool is not available now."Transporter" seems like be the alternative.
(*2)
This steps were memo I wrote about two years ago, so some steps may be wrong like Application Loader disappeared in 2019 and need to use Transporter for uploading an app.

How to submit the IOS app to app store after it was rejected by the app store review team?

Recently I submitted an IOS app to the app store and they reject the app because of some issues. Now I fix all those issues and I need to resubmit the app. What are the steps to resubmit the app again for the review?
Thanks in advance
Resubmit the app for review follow the below steps:
Change/correct the things what apple mentioned while rejecting.
Change the build version number.
Then upload the new archive build to app store, in the itunes
connect it takes some time (approx - 20 - 30 min) for reflecting the
new build.
You can check the status of the app in your itunes connect account. login to your account and select your app, in the app description page select Activity section from the top options panel and select the left side panel options like All builds, app store versions etc..
Yes, you should press that button by selecting the new IPA that you have uploaded and proceed to allow them to review again. As the application is binary rejected so, you have to upload new IPA with the fixes they have suggested. if it is something related to metadata then you only have to fix the description and resubmit.
Hope it helps.

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).

iTunes Connect - Remove apps

How can I delete a application from "My Apps"?
When I press the app, the then press "More", all I see is: "About This App", View on App Store" and "Transfer App". There is no "Delete App".
The game status is "1.0 Prepare for Submission".
From the iOS Developer Library:
Deleting an App
If you’ve created an app in iTunes Connect that you no longer need to manage, you can delete it from iTunes Connect.
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. See Removing an App from Sale or Removing an App from a Group in Game Center Configuration Guide for iTunes Connect. Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted; instead, reject the app. See Removing a Build from Review.
Important: If you delete your app, you can’t restore it. The SKU or app name can’t be reused in the same organization. If you’ve uploaded a binary or set up this app for the iAd App Network, your bundle ID can’t be reused.
Here's how to delete your app:
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 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.
Although Apple talks about "Deleting an app from iTunes Connect", I'm pretty sure deletion as explained here will not make your app disappear from iTunes Connect, simply from the AppStore. I don't believe there's a way to make your app disappear from iTunes Connect.
