Change binary file in iTunes connect

Question

I made one app for iPhone and I upload my binary file in app store few days ago. Currently my app status shows in review, now I want to change my .ipa file.

Can I change my .ipa file right now, when my app is in review state?

or

Do I have to wait for review completion and then re-upload my binary and wait for more days?

Any help will be appreciated !!

Answer 1

Yes you can change your binary file when your app status is "in review state" and before it change to "Ready for sale". Before that you have to go to iTunes Connect and Discard your old binary.

For that, In iTunes connect, go into 'Manage Your Applications' then click your application. Then 'View details' and press 'Binary Details' under 'Links'. You'll see the 'Reject this binary' in the upper right corner. After you discard your binary you can go ahead and upload a new one.

After doing this you'll be again placed in a waiting queue from the start. It's like you are uploading a binary today and waiting for review.

For confirmation you can check this

Rejecting Your Binary

You can reject the binary you have submitted if its status is any of the following: Missing Screenshot (iOS only), Waiting for Export Compliance, Waiting For Review, In Review, Pending Developer Release, or Pending Apple Release. Click the Reject Binary button on the Binary Details page. This action removes your binary from the review queue. You can then submit another update through Application Loader after you move your app back to the Waiting For Upload state in iTunes Connect. If you reject your binary, your app’s status changes to Developer Rejected. When you resubmit your binary, the review process starts over from the beginning.
