Cancel iOS release

I created a new version of the iOS app to prepare for release. For some reason I need to cancel this release and create a new version (skipping some versions).

I don't see an option to cancel a release before submitting it to the App Store. Is there a way that this can be done before submitting for review.

The nice thing about iTunes Connect is that it lets you edit most of the metadata for an app that hasn't been viewed yet.

Updating your app version

First, click on your version of the app in the sidebar.

Then scroll down. You will see a text box for your version number:

Just change this version to any version. The value in this text box is what is displayed to your users, but does not have to match the version number of your application Info.plist

.

Replacing the downloaded binary

If you've already downloaded the binary, there are two things to consider:



Version numbers . Your next download should have a higher Bundle ( CFBundleVersion

) version than the previous binary, even if the "Short Bundle Version String" ( CFBundleShortVersionString

) is the same.

Binary Representation: You may have selected your binary as part of your representation that you want to modify. You can remove the old binary and attach it after processing is complete.

If so, hover your mouse over the line under the Build label in your entry to see a red delete icon.

Click to delete the old selection. Then you will be able to choose a different binary.

When does it work

This only works for an application that has a status of Preparing for Submission or Pending Review. If your application is pending review and you would like to submit a new version, you will see a banner at the top of the screen for that version:

If your app has already been submitted and approved, you need to submit the new version to the store.
