upgrade App problems - ios

my App already on shelf App store. And now I want to upgrade it.
Before I upload new binary, may I first update the description in App store via iTunes connect ?
And will this updated description be shown in App store before I upload new binary?
I have changed the description but could not save because the old screen shot need to be changes its size.
But if I select " Cancel " button , instead of clicking " Save" , will my changed description be saved except the screenshot?
If my changed description is saved, then next time I only need to change the screenshot.
thanks

Metadata for a currently live version of an application can be edited after logging into itunes connect -> Manage Your applications -> Your Application -> Current Version -> Metadata & Uploads Edit. Here you can make changes to description..
A new version of the application can be added by clicking on Add version, Fill up the "Version No." & "What's new in this version?". After This Click on your New Version & Edit Metadata for this New Version of application, this metadata will be available on the app store along with new version, once approved.
I hope this answers your query.

Change screenshots in meta data of app in itunes

I am trying to change the screenshot of app published in itunes without creating new version of it?
When i log in to itunes and see my app meta data, I am not able to find edit option for screenshots.
I am new to mobile app as the current app was done by another developer.
Mine is web app not native mobile app.
If I create new version does it make users to log in again?
Should i upload the build again for the project?
I would like to know the impact of creating a new version like how long does it take to see the new screenshots.
You can't change screenshots of a live app, you need to create a new version. (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ReplacingYourAppWithANewVersion.html)
Officially web apps are not allowed on the store. Make sure your new version adheres to the store rules, specifically 4.2.
(https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#minimum-functionality)
If you replace an existing (native) app with a new web app, I'm 100% sure that users need to log in again.
Yes, you need to create a new version / build and upload it to iTunes Connect. Then you can upload new screenshots as well. After that, you can send the app to review, which usually takes 1-2 days.

Can I update the In App Purchase content for spacific App version?

I am working on one application where I need to update the In-App purchase content for dual language support, now the App is rewritten from objective c to swift and it can download and play the new content but the problem is if I upload the new content old users will not be able to download them and use them, so is it possible that I could limit the new app content version to specific App version (suppose if newly uploaded content version is now 2 and new app version is 4). I am not able to figure it out is it possible or not or what else can be done. Thanks in Advance

Updating iOS app: update name and keywords only, no binary

I want to update name and keywords of my app. That data can be changed in iTunes Connect only. Maybe I will update screenshots or some other data from iTunes Connect.
But should I post new app build? I see the form of new build but is that necessary?
#sffsf some of fields can be edited any time without submitting new build. However in your case even editing description or changing images needs to add new build and go through approval process again.
Please see below link last section describes the update process in detail ( read *fields which can be updated without submitting new build )

Getting to know if my app is updated from app store

I am going to publish a new version of my app on app store. I just want to know that if the app is being updated from the previous version or user has installed a fresh copy of the new version of my app. Based on this information i want to show some information to the updated users.
I was thinking of to keep a key in my NSUserDefaults of the previous_version but i haven't added any such key in the NSUserDefaults of my previous app version. So this key will be nil in both cases in my new version.
Is there a way i can get to know if the user has updated the app or installed a fresh copy of my app.
There is no direct way for it. Indirectly you can check it. If you are moving your editable data into Documents directory in your previous version then at the time of launching new application, you can check if the file is present in document directory. If you can find it, the application is opened after update and if file is not present then it has been opened because of a fresh installation.
