Unable to delete app in iTunes Connect with "Developer Rejected" status

Question

My app was rejected. There was no Delete App button in iTunes Connect. I uploaded the binary again, rejected it, and there is still no "Delete App" button under "Transfer App." How do I delete this app altogether?

I don't have enough points to post an image, but you can see a screen shot here:

The iTunes Connect Developer Guide states:

You can delete your app when its status is one of the following:

Prepare for Upload
Waiting for Upload
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
Metadata Rejected
Developer Removed from Sale
Removed from Sale"

So why can't I delete an app? I even tried with another app. Same problem.

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and contacted iTunes Connect support. They replied with this:

I believe the reason that you are unable to delete this app is that it does not have one delivered and approved version. Apps must have at least one approved version before they can be deleted; if your app has never had an approved binary delivered, you will be unable to delete it.

Basically, you're unable to delete an app that was rejected and never approved.
