I released an update of my app 2 weeks ago on itunes. User is seeing the new app description and screenshots in the app store but downloads previous version and giving UPDATE option rather than OPEN option on itunes page.When I click on UPDATE button then again app downloads updated version.This happens only for iPhone devices with iOS 6 installed in it.For device with iOS 7, app works fine with updated version installed from itunes.
Any one know why this happens?
similar question-IOS - Old version of app being installed from the app store
If the update is targeting 7.0 and you haven't updated the rights & pricing section of the app to disable download of old versions of an app from iCloud I believe that this behavior has been known to happen.

we have a fairly old app that until very recently had iOS 9.3 as minimum deployment target.
After increasing the deployment target to iOS 11, I can no longer open the App on my iPad 2 with iOS 9.3 with an Alert ""App" Is No Lonager Available". (A previous version of the app is installed on my iPad, this old version of the App does now not launch anymore).
And I can not download the App from the AppStore on iOS 9.3 with an alert "Unable to Purchase - "App" is not compatible with this iPad." - this is with an Account with which I had installed the App before.
I thought it was supposed to work the way that, when updating the deployment target, users on older OSs can still use and download the last compatible version of the app?
In the AppStore under "Pricing and Availability" -> "Last-Compatible Version Settings", All Versions are checked (Version 4.41.0 is the first one without iOS9 support).
Is there something we have missed?
I have now found that there is a way for users to still install the App.
When going to App's site in the AppStore and trying to install, you get the aforementioned error
Unable to Purchase - "App" is not compatible with this iPad.
But if you go to the "Purchases" tab in the Store, search for the app and re-download from there, you get another dialog with the option to install the last compatible version - as expected.
I still don't understand why you can not launch the still installed old version of the app anymore, you will have to re-install via your "Purchases" tab.
I made an app using PhoneGap that I now want to upload to the App Store.
I wanted to use the XCode Application Loader but I can't seem to be able to download XCode not being on High Sierra as I want to wait for the next MacOS version due to the bad reviews of High Sierra.
I tried downloading Application Loader 3.1 from iTunes Connect but it seems like it doesn't let me log in.
Is there any way to upload an app to the app store with MacOS Sierra?
From the Apple web pages:
Build with iOS 11 SDK
Update your version of Xcode to the latest release of Xcode 9 available on the Mac App Store, which includes the iOS 11 SDK, and build your apps. Starting July 2018, all new iOS apps and updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the iOS 11 SDK. All new iOS apps and updates for iPhone, including universal apps, must support the Super Retina display of iPhone X.
So if you are building against the iOS 11 SDK, you should be able to submit your app. If you are not, you can't.
Recently I've migrated to Xcode 7 and iOS 9, review team passed my update. My app is compatible with iOS 7.1+. But, unfortunately, all users with iOS with version prior 9.0 cannot download app from app store and iTunes with following issues. In App store (app downloading failure):
and iTunes (trouble with downloading - cannot find URL on server)
Has anyone already faced this issue?
In Xcode, go to the project settings page.
Screen shot of settings page
Make sure that your Deployment Target setting is set to 8 or less. This setting sets the oldest iOS that your app will be compatible with.
After 40 hours of waiting, ios 8 and 7 users can now download the app.
Since yesterday I can not validate the app but in last week it works great and now it didn't. I get the error:
The bundle is invalid. New apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with public.
I'm using xcode 5.1 and SDK 7.1
Have someone any idea?
Problem is not compliance with apple's role. According to apple's news,
Starting May 15, 2014, new apps and app updates submitted to the App
Store must be built with Xcode 5.1.1
Take build with Xcode 5.1.1 and check it. Xcode version info taken into binary during archive process, see this post.
i also had the same problem with Xcode 5.1.1
you have to update your Application loader for resolve this problem because today onwards Apple accept APP Binary only from applications loader,
for latest version of application loader.
go to iTune Connect login with your Apple credential
Go to --> Manage Your Apps
from the bottom links goto Download Application Loader . its 82 MB .dmg
open your project with XCODE 5.1.1
now set your app deployment target to 7.1 or 7.0 (minimum)
now try to upload your binary with latest Application Loader
Thanks
I submitted a new version of my app to AppStore and it was approved a week ago.
However, I delete the app from the iPad, install it from AppStore and I get the old version installed. The "Install" button on AppStore turns to "Update" instead of "Launch" and then I get the new version installed.
Does anyone know what could be happen here? Why the new version is not installed in first place?
I tried with iOS 5 and iOS 6
TestFlight or a Ad-Hoc network is almost always the cause of this problem.
Also, when you back up via iCloud and sync back your apps they will not automatically update.
Revoke your app from Ad-Hoc and from TestFlight. It should update to the latest version.
This issue occurs only on obsolete iOS like iOS 5 or iOS 6. If one tries on latest iOS 7, one may not face this issue. I've tested & faced same issue under iOS 6, but I couldn't reproduce on iOS 7.
