My app has gone from In Review (Yellow) to Pending An Apple Release (red). I couldn't find anything on this combo in the docs. I set my app release date for immediately and its price tier is free.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Since others brought this up, my app is also targeting 7.0
EDIT: App has been approved without me doing anything. Side note it's not appearing in search but the direct link works.
Per https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ChangingAppStatus.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH30-SW1
The "pending an Apple Release" means:
Apple is holding your app version until the corresponding Apple iOS or OS version is released to the public.
If you think an app should be released on existing iOS or OS versions, review the deployment target set in your app binary. If you rebuild your app binary with a different deployment target, reject the binary for this version and submit the new version.
Sounds like you need to review the deployment target and if you change it, reject the binary and re-submit. If you need help with rejecting the binary, please let me know.
Hope this helps!

Today I have submitted my app to iTunes Connect.
I had tested my app thousand times and also distributed my app for testing among my clients.
After approval from all side I finally submitted it to iTunes.
But just after submitting I found a Crash at some point in the app.
I am very afraid about it. Will my app get rejected ? Now what should I do?
Edit
Apple Aprroves my App. Now it is Live :)
Well, Apple app approval process is always a little gamble: you never know for sure what will happen.
If you know your app will crash under some conditions then of course changes are higher that your app might get reject by Apple.
So right now you have two options:
Wait about 7 days (so long does it take apple to review your app) and see what happens.
Cancel the submit (developer reject), fix the crash and resubmit.

Apple just approved my update for my app but it doesn't show under the updates page of the app store. You have to manually go to the app page on the store and there is a cloud icon that appears that will download the update.
I named the first version of my app 6.1 for some reason, don't know why. And my update is version 2.0. Is this the reason? And if so, can i change the version number of the first to 1.0.
Apple never publishes the updates / new apps right after ready for sale. You have to be a bit patient and wait for about a day or something.
Also, it does not matter how you name your app versions. It can be whatever number you want it to be. Apple just recommends using numbers that make sense but they won't do anything about it.
Hope that helps :)

I just submitted a new version of my application (version 2.0) to Apple and it is Waiting For Review in the App Store. I set it to release manually as we are strategically planning a release.
We have a more feature filled version of the app (2.1) ready but we want to make sure the first version passes Apple review first.
My question is, once Apple accepts 2.0 are we going to be able to upload 2.1 without releasing 2.0 live into the app store?
You cannot have two unreleased versions at the same time.
When you have only a version that's live on the app store, the iTunes Connect UI shows these buttons:
When you have a version pending developer release (or waiting for review, or otherwise not on the store), the iTunes Connect UI shows these buttons:
As a result, you do not have the option to create a new 2.1 version without pushing 2.0 live on the store.
You will see two statuses - one for 2.0 that will be green once it is approved and on the store, and one for 2.1 that will be yellow - waiting for review. You can always have a live binary and one waiting for review :)
Yup, you will be fine. No need to release 2.0 :)

We currently have a predicament..
Our app has successfully gone through the certifications and is ready for sale and will launch next week.
We now realised that we want to change the icon on the home screen and the loading image which will require a re-submission…
Is it possible to do in parallel with the current app that is going
for sale? ie. can I make the change and submit the app again without
effecting the existing app.
And if the new app fails submission will this effect the existing app
that is about to be launched?
I don't remember for sure if you're allowed to submit another version of an app that's not for sale yet but I think you can. It's easy to tell, if you can there will be an "add version" button on the main page for managing your app in iTunes connect.
Assuming you can add another version, then the new version failing will not effect the approved version.
If you can't add another version, then you will have to reject your current version to resubmit, in which case the new version failing would put you back at square 0, you would have to resubmit again. Also, you would not be able to release until the new version is approved, so it's possible that even if you have no problems it wouldn't be approved by next week.

I'm writing an noobie app that deals with advertising and time limited offers, how can I check to see if I've added a newer version to the app store and stop it working until they update? If you have any examples to help a noob that will be great.
I can't tell you this with 100% certainty but I believe it is very unlikely that Apple will approve this. You should take a look at the review guidelines before developing to make sure what you're doing is allowed, but I really wouldn't expect Apple to approve an app that only worked if you have the newest version. Possible rejection reasons listed below.
From The App Store Review Guidelines:
2.9: Apps that are "beta", "demo", "trial", or "test" versions will be rejected
2.13: Apps that are primarily marketing materials or advertisements will be rejected
2.22: Apps that arbitrarily restrict which users may use the app, such as by location or carrier, may be rejected
11.9: Apps containing "rental" content or services that expire after a limited time will be rejected
You can't query the app story (easily), but you can query your own website. Just create a static text file that contains the latest version active in the app store, then always check that file from your app when it starts up.
