update an app which is pending developer release

I have an app which is in pending developer release (approved by Apple). The app was never released at all. Now I wanted to submit an update. Therefore I increased the CFBundleVersion, but he complained. So I increased the CFBundleShortVersionString too.

In iTunes Connect I can see under pre-releases my new submission. But in the versions view I see the old release. So how can I approve the update? It would be nice if I could manage the time of the release by myself. So that it stays in pending for developer release.

What are my options? Should I reject the binary? What version/build numbers should I take? Can I reuse the old ones?

Take note that it takes 24 to 48 hours for the update to become available for iOS devices and up to 24 hours for Android after a mobile app has been submitted to the stores.

How do you release an update from the App Store?

Open the App Store and scroll down to the bottom. Tap Account. Tap Updates. Tap Update next to an app to update only that app, or tap Update All.

How do you update an app developer?

Sign in to the Developer Console. From the Dashboard (the default homepage), under the Amazon Appstore section, click App List. Click the app you want to update. Near the top of the page, in the area below the name of your app, click Add Upcoming Version.

You don't have to reject the binary or cancel the release. You can instead:

  1. Remove the app from all territories
  2. Release the version. Its status will immediately change from "Pending Developer Release" to "Developer Removed From Sale".
  3. Create a new version.

This way, if apple rejects the new binary or if you decide you want to release the old one after all, you can always release the old one.
