How to "developer reject" an app in iTunesConnect after the Sep 2014 changes


I uploaded a binary but before submitting it for review I realized that the Product Name in the Build Settings wasn't correct. I fixed the issue and tried to upload the binary again, but ran into the version 1.x already exists issue while doing that. So I thought I'd just submit this, manually reject it and upload the fixed one.

But with the latest changes in iTunesConnect, like a lot of other stuff, the option to reject my binary seems to be tactfully hidden or completely missing. How do I reject my binary in the latest (Sep 14) iTunesConnect dashboard? Or what's the new process to make such changes?


Solution

  • This is how you developer reject.

    NOTE: The assumption here is that you have successfully uploaded and submitted a binary to iTunes.

    • Login to your iTunes account and make sure you are on the version of the app that you want to remove. In my case I had v5.1 already approved and I wan to reject v5.2
    • Now click on the link that says remove this version from review
    • After that scroll down and see the red circle that shows up next to your binary. Click that and remove your binary
    • Now go back to your Xcode, bump up your build version and then upload a new binary to iTunes. If you don't bump up your version then you will get an error saying that the build already exists there. NOTE: There is no way to remove the old build version. If you developer reject multplie times then there will be multiple build versions there
    • Select your new bumped up version and then click Save button and then Submit button.
