Can I set a specific “Release Date” after my app is approved by Apple?

I have been developing an app for one of my client and I had submitted the app and got it approved. When I was submitting the app binary, the client was not sure about the release date so I chose to manually release the version. Now the client wants it on a specific date and time which I think I might miss because the timezone the app has to be launched in will most probably be my sleeping time.

The app has been approved by Apple and current status on the iTunes Connect is Pending Developer Release, can I now schedule this app to launch on a particular date and time?

Can I upload a new build with same version after Apple's app review is done?

Update your target version in xCode to match just created app version. Update your build number, as you can't upload same build number on same app version.

How long does Apple app approval take?

On average, 90% of submissions are reviewed in less than 24 hours. You'll be notified by email of status changes. You can also check the review status of your submission in the My Apps section of App Store Connect or on the App Store Connect app for iPhone and iPad.

How do I manually release an app from the App Store?

If you have an app in the Pending Developer Release state for longer than 30 days, you'll receive an email reminder from Apple. In the Version Release section, select a release option: Release the app yourself: Select “Manually release this version.” (Later, manually release the version.)

Yes, you can set it App release date with specific time.

Note : The main point is that you can set release date only that which will coming after your app published or approved by apple.

I think this is not yet a feature on iTunes Connect. What I wanted was to schedule the release date for the app after the app was approved by Apple and my app status was Pending Developer Release.

Setting a scheduled release date can ONLY be done before app is submitted for review.
