I created a new version of my app in iTunes Connect using the wrong version number. I'd like to remove the new version which is in a "Prepare for Upload" status. How do I do this?
There are other question on SO about this, but they do not provide any answers, apply to a version that has a binary already uploaded, or are out of date.
I have a question in to Apple on this, but have not received a response yet.
You cannot remove the new version but you can change its version number, as long as you're in the Prepare for Submission state (ie. you might need to remove the build from waiting for review, also known as rejecting the binary, first). Here's how.
To edit the version number, select the falsely numbered version on the left on iTunes Connect (so NOT the "App Information", but under that the version "1.0.1 Prepare for Submission" etc), scroll down in the right pane to "General App Information" -- just below the App Icon you can see the version number and it's editable! Change it, hit save, and you'll see the version number change on the left side.
Update: as #MDH points out, Apple finally got around to making it easier. You can now just directly edit the version number on the main "page" of the unreleased version. Amazing.
You cannot remove the new version but you can modify version number,so follow the step.
1. Go to
https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/
and Open the app which you want to modify the version number
2. Go to below step and change the number which you want and display quick response on left panel.
Log on to itunes connect, then click on the My Apps.
Here we have thumbnails of apps. Click on the app which u have uploaded wrongly. then u will c like this "You can edit all information while your version is waiting for review. To submit a new build, you must remove this version from review."
click on the link to delete the binary.

I created a new version for the iOS app to prepare for some release. For some reason, I need to cancel this release and create a new release(skipping some versions).
I don't see any option to cancel a release before submitting it to app store. Is there any way it can be done before submitting for review.
The cool thing about iTunes Connect is that it lets you edit most metadata for an app that hasn't been reviewed yet.
Updating Your App Version
First, click on your app version in the sidebar.
Then, scroll down. You'll see a textbox for your version number:
Just change that version to whatever version you want. The value in this text box is what is displayed to your users, but does not necessarily have to match the version number in your app's Info.plist.
Replacing an Uploaded Binary
If you've already uploaded a binary, you need to account for two things:
Version Numbers Your next upload needs to have a higher value for the Bundle Version (CFBundleVersion) than the previous binary, even if the "Short Bundle Version String" (CFBundleShortVersionString) is the same.
Binary Submission: You may have chosen your binary as part of your submission that you'd like to change. You may want to remove the old binary and attach your new one after it finishes processing.
If this is the case, hover over the build in the aptly named "Build" section of your entry to see the red removal icon.
Click it to clear the old selection. Then, you'll be able to choose another binary.
When this Works
This only works for an app that has a state of "Prepare For Submission" or "Waiting for Review". If your app is waiting for review and you want to submit a new version, you'll see a banner at the top of that version's screen:
If your app is already submitted and approved, you'll need to submit a new version to the store.
Currently my app which is ready for sale had version 3.0. I was ready to push another app. So I clicked on this app, clicked on add new version/platform. and mistakenly wrote 1.0 as version there.
this resulted in this:
Issue is, I am not able to delete this "1" version (help me here),
If I upload build for for this, it will take time in review process, and ultimately, Apple will reject it and again lot of time will be wasted.
How to get a response from Apple sooner?
1) Select the build and scroll to "General App Information", you can change it there.
2) Anytime you submit an update it will go through the review process.
3) You can request an expedited review under the Help > Contact Us menu, or This form.
good morning. I have already putted my iPhone app in App Store, and it is already approved and in sale.
Now, I have done a little change (the text of two message box and the correct color / alignement of one label; nothing else). This is only a new build of the same version, not a new version, so I would avoid the long approval process, and I would update this new version only as a new build.
I have tried to upload it with the same procedure (in the same conditions!) which I have already followed during my first upload of my first main version (using x-code); but it doesn't work and I see the error message which you can see in the screenshot which I have putted in my dropbox account and which you can see by the following link.
Why happend? How can I fix it?
Simply each submission must be a new version with a higher version number. Each submission must go through the review process. Often the review process for a small change is quicker.
Apple does not know what actually changed so must review the entire app. Surprisingly, not every app developer is honest and trustworthy—gasp!
Just up the version number and re-submit the app.
When I enter my app in iTunesConnect I can see it listed under Prerelease:
However the '?' sign isn't working. I don't see it under Versions, even though 2 previous versions are in ready for sale status or prepare for submission. Does it mean my build is invalid or something is wrong with it?
Yesterday it was on 'validating' status. Today it is normal, so I suppose it should be visible in versions too? I want to submit it to the AppStore.
-- question value as not programming topic --
Because it isn't strict programming question and ppl may want to vote to close it, looking at the https://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic I think that is valid because of these points:
software tools commonly used by programmers; and is
a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development
The question seems similar to SOF question, but I didn't get any errors and the solutions didn't work for me.
-- edit --
Screenshot of Versions tab, where version 1.27.0 is NOT visible:
Please go to Versions tab, scroll down to Version section and change it to your new version eg. 1.27.0 as you've said. Then remove previous build and add a new one like #FabioCardoso said. That's all. Should help :-)
Cheers
Choosing a Build
You can upload any number of builds for your app, and they will remain
in Prerelease on the App Details page. (See Viewing Builds.) When you
submit the app for App Review, only one build can be associated with
the App Store version of the app you want to submit. The build, called
the current build, is the one that will be submitted for App Review.
To choose a build to be the current build, follow these steps:
Open the App Details page for the app, as described in To open the App Details page for an app.
On Versions, scroll down to the Build section.
Click the plus sign to select a build. The plus sign appears only if you have uploaded builds and have not yet not selected a current
build. If you have already selected a build, you can remove it if you
want to select a new one. See Removing the Current Build.
You can see more here
EDIT:
Open the App Details page for the app, as described in To open the App
Details page for an app.
On Versions, scroll down to the Build section.
Click the plus sign to select a build. The plus sign appears only if
you have uploaded builds and have not yet not selected a current
build. If you have already selected a build, you can remove it if you
want to select a new one. See Removing the Current Build.
You have to select the build to submit try it
We submitted our binary, but discovered that there was an error. I uploaded a new binary from XCode6 and it shows up in the Prerelease Tab of iTunesConnect. It has a higher build number (#708) as opposed to the "waiting for review" version (#704):
I can't figure out how to use one of the new binaries instead of the old binary. According to the Apple documentation, there should be a notification at the top of the screen (see the "To remove your build from review": https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ChangingAppStatus.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH30-SW34)
I don't have this notification, nor can I find a reject binary button anywhere.
Other people can't figure out how to reject either, but none of the tricks here worked for me: reject this binary in new itunes connect UI
Even on the mobile app, or in the Versions tab, there is no reject binary button. I've tried restarting Safari, using Chrome, etc.
Assuming you have already selected a binary, it shows up in the Build window. Roll your mouse over the version/build number and a small - sign in a red circle appears. Click the - sign. This deletes that binary from iTunes connect.
Next you get the screen telling you to "Click + to add a build..." Click the message or the + sign next to build.
If you have submitted more than one binary, you will be left with a list of the submitted binaries. Select the radio button for the one you want to appear on the App Store, then click Done.
The other binaries are still there, so you can go back and select one of them if you like. If you really want to get rid of them completely, select them first, then reject them by clicking the - sign (as described above) until only the binary you want to keep is still there.
The new iTunes Connect is very temperamental when it comes to showing binaries in the Build tab. I submitted three new versions with no problems, and the new build showed up within a couple of minutes. On another app it took several hours for the new build to show up. It's slightly insane I must admit. I guess Tim Cook's phrase "Everything is great" does not apply to iTunes Connect.
You can only reject your build when it has been associated with a new version - and you can only do that if your build is showing up to be selected in the Build tab. If you haven't associated a build with your new version yet, simply submit a new one and wait for it to show up there so you can select it. There's no need to delete unused submissions, you just don't associate them with a new app version.
Looks like every build you submit shows up instantly in the Prereleases section (where we don't actually need them) but the system can take a long time to show those under Build in your new version. This is especially true if you submit more than one build before associating ine with your new version (at lest it was with my problematic app).
I suggest you give it 24 hours and if you still can't see your build get in touch with folks at iTunes Connect.
I have noticed that you can NOT reject a binary until you have at least another build with the same version (and a different build number) uploaded.
I used XCode/Organizer to submit another build (2.5.7.1) and then I was able to click a MINUS button next to the current build (2.5.7) in an app version where the status is "Waiting for Review" and select the new build. Both builds were for version 2.5.7 and appeared under the same group in the "Prerelease" tab.
This appears to be a bug, and the same thing just happened to me.
I cannot say if this is an effective solution, but I found that you can get the minus button to display via a simple modification of the page in your browser. In Safari, go Develop > Show Web Inspector, click the Inspect button, click your build number in the Build section, and in the DOM editor remove the ng-hide class in the next link.
You can then click the red - button, then click the + button, and select your new build.
It seems to stick, but because you don't get the usual iTunes Connect email and notification and don't get asked the questions you usually see when submitting an update, I am very much unsure that this is an effective solution (and if it were, then this could be a loophole). Will update if I get more information.
EDIT The next day, the Reject Binary button had reappeared, and I was able to use it.
