I want to test new version app with my testers. I created close test channel and typed tester's email addresses. The beta app was published. App name was changed on Google Play Store to " (beta)". But we can't update. There is no update button on Google Play Store. There are two buttons, open and remove. How can we update the beta app to test on Google Play Store?
Thanks a lot.
As far as I know update is not supported. You either have to go live with the app or remove the current version and create new beta.

I have question is their way to customize the main store listing? I want to remove the table requirements because the app want to apply on the phone devices not in the tablet devices.
I read some articles or post that I need to go this section in the google console.
Reach and devices -> Device Catalog
You can limit your app to Phones only from the app manifest for more on this see this answer.
for Google Play store listing, you can add 1 screenshot for each tablet size using a phone screen shot, in that way you will only target phones.
the problem with "Device Catalog" approach that you will need to do this every time new devices were added to google play console which is very hard to do.
I recently released a new build of an app to the app store a bit ago. On iTunes connect I set the name which is displayed on the dashboard and in the app store, but when downloaded on a device, the name is the same as the original Xcode project on my computer. What is up with that? Is there something in the plist I need to change?
Many thanks.
AFAIK, you have to change the bundle name in info.plist. It's default is $(PRODUCT_NAME). And this product name is the one you put while creating the app in XCode at the beginning.
The App Store data is taken from the info you uploaded in iTunesConnect.
Also, if this varies widely then your app might got rejected. Check the guideline 3.4. About 2% of apps get rejected for this, check here.
The name that should be displayed on the device itself is defined on the plist in XCode in the Bundle Display Name field. The name that's displayed on the App Store is defined on iTunesConnect in the App Name field.
The two fields don't affect one another but they should be similar enough so that Apple's review team won't reject the app.
I am uploading to app to apple store, But I want to add new items later , can I add new in-app purchases from itunes account when app will approved and ready for sale, I have set everything IAP from server and in code.
Yes, you can. As long as you have code to retrieve list of available IAP and show them in your app - you're fine.
One correction. The very first IAP that you create for your app you must submit along with the binary. After that when navigating to iTunes Connect you should see In-App Purchases tab in your application page:
Yes, you just have to ensure that your live app knows how to handle these purchases, i.e. if you add a new IAP to unlock a feature, your app needs to know about it before submitting.
Since days I am trying to change my app state from beta to release so that everyone can get it.
I also figured out that I cant change other things (prince, release automatcially...)
Do I need to add a new app? Cant I change this informations by a new revision?
I am sure I am just to stupid but I am at the point to create a new app in the app center just to change this information.
It is not possible to change an app from being a beta version to being in the public store. You must resubmit the app for it to be visible in the store and change other settings (such as price).
There is a uservoice request for this functionality that you can vote on at http://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/110705-dev-platform/suggestions/4548415-allow-beta-to-release
I want to delete the tested app from iTunes connect.
When I searched this topic in google i got one solution but i did not get any thing if i am following this procedure.
AppDeletionFromitunes
Please help me if any solution is there
Thanks&Regards

Even in new iTunesConnect, you cannot remove applications that are in any other state than Ready For Sale unless it was approved at least once before.
As you wrote a tested app I guess it is not available on the AppStore or Ready For Sale. You will not be able to delete it.
You can't delete but you can hide it. Go to the Pricing tab (Rights and Pricing) and deselect all the countries. To be able to deselect all the countries click on 'specific territories'. After doing that the status of the app would change to 'Developer Removed From Sale'
