Our binary was rejected, because the 3.5-inch iPhone does not display properly views. But we do not want to support 3.5 inches. Only the iPhone 5 and above.
How to disable 3.5 inches in itunnes connect ?
I believe it isn't possible to not support 3.5" devices. Your best bet would be to use Auto Layout and setup constraints to make everything resize automatically, it will also make your life easier for the new iPhone 6 & 6 Plus with different screen resolutions.
You should remove launch image for 3.5 inch if you want to support only iPhone 5 and above.

I'm using autolayout storyboards for my ios app which is only for iPhone. When I submit, Apple reject it saying that the app should support iPhone 3.5 inch for ipad view on iphone resolution but making the UI for iPhone 3.5 inch is bit hard.
If I change it to support iPhone 3.5 inch onwards it gives bad view for iphone 5 inch. The contents are not centric there's long space for iphone 5 inch. What are the solutions?
Can I configure the settings to support iPhone 4 onwards?
or else Can I make two storyboards for iPhone 3.5 inch & 5 inches?
Yes, you can make 2 storyboards and switch them, depending on screen height, but why you can't adjust constraints for all iPhones screens? Usually this is possible.
One way for complex layouts - create constraint outlets and change them in code.
Another way - divide design to smaller UIViews, that contains elements, like container and set constraints between them.
I am designing an app for iOS in SWIFT. I have decided that the auto layout will be compact and will be only for iPhone in portrait mode. I wanted to clear up a few hiccups on designing buttons for the 2 different screen ratios: the first being the iPhone 4s and the second ratio being the iPhone 5 and above. Because the new iPhones have a taller height, does that mean I will need to design 2 different ratios of buttons, and if so, how do I use them in Xcode? For example here's the stock apple calculator;

As you can see the the buttons on the taller iPhone have a square shape. The buttons on the 4s are more stubby. What do I need to do in Xcode to let the app know which asset to use for the respective phone and how would I implement that in Auto Layout?
thanks
In order to do this you setup autolayout constraints. This will make the buttons change shape/size depending on the device. You do not need to have multiple assets because all the phones you are talking about have the same retina (2x) display.
You need to add three different sized images for a single Image Set in Images.xcassets . The sizes should be 1x for iPhone 4s, 2x for iPhone 6(It'll work for iPhone 5 too) and 3x for iPhone 6 plus.
I have an app in Xcode 6.2 with the storyboard supporting all devices. For some reason, whenever I load the application on the iPhone 6+, or iPhone 4s, or iPad, the screen doesn't take the size of the iPhone/iPad. However, on an iPhone 6, 5s, and 5, the screen takes the full size of the iPhone. Why is this? I am very unfamiliar with sizes and how to properly support all sizes. Right now, I have set the screen sizes in the storyboard for each view controller to 320 x 568. The width is "Compact" and the height is "Any".
If this has anything to do with this, my iPad screen comes out blank. It's just white. Apple recently rejected my external testers app submission due to this.
I have done lots of research on these 2 questions, but I had a hard time understanding anything, as I am new to iOS Development.
To properly handle varying sizes and how that affects your layout you will want to use auto layout. Check out this great tutorial from ray wenderlich to get you started. Once you get started feel free to post more specific questions about any roadblocks you run into. Good luck!

When you want your app to work on any device, ideally you should keep the width and height both set to "Any". You should switch to "Compact" or "Regular" width or height only if you have any requirement specific to a particular device. To understand things in detail read more on Size classes. It is very nicely documented in this Apple developer site.

I've built my 4 inch screen and 3.5 inch screen apps in Xcode 5.1.1. Yesterday I downloaded Xcode 6.1 to build those same apps for iPhone 6 and 6+. I'm not using auto layout (because it messes with my UIImageViews) and to use size classes you must also use auto layout. So I can't use size classes either. When I use that 1 storyboard for 4.7inch and 5.5 inch iPhone storyboards that are in Assistant Editor, i want to move an image in only 4.7 inch but instead the image moves in both 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch iPhones. How do I make it that the image moves only in 4.7 inch instead of both?
I launched my app on iphone 6 and 6 plus simulator. iPhone 6 plus uses #x3 images, but this have the same ratio. However, the iPhone 6 have a screen of 1334 x 750 (667 x 375) ... this sucks!
As you probably know, the app screen automatically fit to those new screen. But for the iPhone 6, images are bigger but they cannot be replaced (#3x is only for iphone6+).
How to deal with this new size?
I have to use autolayout only?
How to set the right screen size without automatically rescale this screen?
As Roger answered, you need to add the iPhone 6 and 6+ launch image
But you don't need to use autolayout. AutoLayout is one way of adapting to different screen resolutions, but the old autoresizingmask (springs and struts) is perfectly fine for most layouts. I use a combination of both as they each have pros & cons.
You need to do a couple of things:
Add a launch image for iPhone 6 and 6 plus.
adopt autolayout.
