How to submit the latest build in App Store Connect? - app-store-connect

I have uploaded 3 builds in the past. When I go to the app store tab and submit, it always submits the oldest version. How do I submit the latest build?
BTW I have expired the former builds in TestFlight, as shown by the screenshot below.

Under the App Store tap, there is a section called build. Before submitting, you can delete the selected build by clicking the red delete button on the right. Then you'll be able to select a build.

Solve "You must choose a build." when upload app in iTunes

When upload ipa file by Xcode and the results successfuly uploade the ipa is not show in Activity tab ,but show in version history and when click on button submit for review shown alert missing "You must choose a build"
Please give me advise.
You need to select your uploaded ipa from the Build section in order to submit your app for review.
An uploaded build might take some time to show up in app store connect, due to the fact that it needs to pass Apple's automatic processing.
Update: Actually a plus button will be shown next to Build that can be used to select your build

iTunes Connect > Submit a Build > Plus icon not available

I'm trying to submit a build using the iTunes Connect web application.
I see this:
but according to this https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/SubmittingTheApp.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH33-SW11
I should see a plus icon to the right of the word Build.
I don't see this nor do I see a Build listed in the Build section.
Why isn't it there?
Note - I do see two Builds in the Prerelease section but I'm not clear how you copy them over.
Any suggestions?
I've experienced the same issue. You need to give the system some time to replicate after you've submitted your binary. I needed to wait like 30 minutes before the "+" icon appeared and I was able to select the binary.
If you check the page source you will see this:

New Itunes connect Sep 2014 submission stuck at "Submit for Review" page

After I click Submit for Review
Itunes Connect bring me to this page and when I click Submit
It's stuck forever...
Update : 14 Sep 2014
now it does not stuck but become this
Make sure that the build you selected is not inactive. Once you upload your build you have to immediately choose it and submit it to the App Store. Otherwise, the build will become inactive and you won't be able to submit it. Make sure to change the build number before reuploading to avoid the redundant build error message. Hope this helps.
This does appear to be some sort of bug. Here's something that worked for me:
Go back into iTunes Connect --> --> 'Versions', and delete the build from this submission. You need to make a new one, unfortunately
Go into Xcode, click on your project, then click on your target and go to the tab 'General'
Increment the 'Build' number. For example, I went from 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.0.1, but for you it might be going from 534 to 535. It doesn't matter, just as long as it's different
Go 'Product' --> 'Archive'. Ensure that you have selected a real iPhone device as the build target, as opposed to one of the simulators
Follow the process as you did before ('Window' --> 'Organizer' --> Distribute, etc.) and resubmit in iTunes Connect.
Good luck!

How to remove a build from itunes connect?

I want to delete one of my app builds from new itunes connect site.
But I couldn't find a delete/remove button.
Any ideas?
UPDATE:
Time has changed, you can now remove (expire) TestFlight Builds as in this answer but you still cannot delete the build.
OLD:
I asked apple and here is their answer:
I understand you would like to remove a build from iTunes Connect as
shown in your screenshot.
Please be advised this is expected behavior as you can remove a build
from being the current build but you cannot delete it from iTunes
Connect. For more information, please refer to the iTunes Connect
Developer Guide:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/
So i just can't.
Wait! You can expire a build actually! :)
After 2017 Solution:
Still same at 2022
From the homepage, click My Apps, select your app.
Click the TestFlight tab.
In the sidebar, below Builds, click the platform (iOS or tvOS).
In the table on the right, in the Build column, click the app icon or build string for the build that is missing compliance information.
5.Click Expire Build.
Ta-da! Build expired at the App Store Connect.
Means:
Internal testers and external testers will no longer be able to install this build.
You can remove a build from being the current build
But, You cannot delete it from App Store Connect (iTunes Connect)

I had this problem. I'll share my ride on the learning curve.
First, I couldn't find how to reject the binary but remembered seeing it earlier today in the iTunesConnect App. So using the App I rejected the binary.
If you "mouse over" the rejected binary under the "Build" section you'll notice that a red circle icon with a - (i.e. a delete button) appears.
Tap on this and then hit the save button at the top of the screen. Submitted binary is now gone.
You should now get all the notifications for the app being in state "Prepare for Upload" (email, App notification etc).
Xcode organiser was still giving me "Redundant Binary".
After a bit of research I now understand the difference between "Version" & "Build".
Version is what iTunes displays and the user sees. Build is just the internal tracking number.
I had both at 2.3.0, I changed build to 2.3.0.1 and re-Archive.
Now it validates and I can upload the new binary and re-submit.
Hope that helps others!
Choose the build
The answer is that you Mouse over the icon for your build and at the end of the line you'll see a little colored minus in a circle. This removes the build and you can now click on the + sign and choose a new build for submitting.
It is an unbelievably complicated web page with tricks and gizmos to do the thing you want. I'm sure Steve never saw this page or tried to use it.
Surely it's better practice to design the screen so that you can see the options all the time, not to have the screen change depending on whether you have an app in review or not!
As I understand the new iTunesConnect philosophy :
you can upload some multiple "eligible" builds to iTunesConnect int the "pre release" tab
let some other testers test a specific build, via TestFlight (and declared as iTunesConnect users)
when you come to a stable version, select the correct build version, from the "Versions" tab to submit to the AppStore, the usual way.
To me, you can have like 150 build for a pre release, it doesn't matter.
in itunes connect:
AppStore >> iosAPP >> Build (scroll down)
click the red icon as seen in the picture
In our case, deletion was not possible due to already having an app that we were in pre-release. The fix was not to delete but rather to edit each section, including version number, that needed to change for the new candidate.
I'm able to remove and resubmit the app on the ItuneConnect currently.
I also faced the same trouble as you guys, but I realize something:
It needs to submit the current build to change the status from "ready to review" to "waiting for review" status
Then, click to kind "remove this build for submitting the new one"
-> App's status will change the "Developer rejected",
-> Then you can able to resubmit the new build normally. (I attacked the demonstration)

Dang this is hard. Here is what I did to reject/delete/replace my ios build before it was released. The app was approved how ever I found found a bug I wanted to fix before releasing
I set release to "manual" and saved
I tried to create and app release
got an error message something like "you can only have one release at a time"
where the save button was there was not an option to cancel release
the version of the app is not marked "developer rejected" with a red dot
To replace the bad build I did the following
if you click on the "+ version or platform" to create a new version you will not be be able to create a new iOS version
you need to upload a new build
in your rejected app, select the new build
save
submit for review
For ios apps On the v1.0.10 App screen (rejected version) you moved down the form to the version number and clicked on the little red button next to it.
This allowed me to select v1.0.11 (the new corrected version) - I then edited the App screen changing the version number to v1.0.11 and completed the "what new notes". Then pressed the re-submit button, which it appeared to accept.
Then at 13.34 I got an email from Apple (referencing the original version v1.0.10) stating "Prepare for Upload" followed by another email at 13.37 referring to v1.0.11 (the new version) saying "Waiting For Review".
I used this link https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/app-store-how-to-delete-an-earlier-build.110763/
Feb 2022 Correct answer. I spent an hour trying to figure out how to remove the OLD Build which had been rejected, and replace it with a newer one.
Remove the App from review. You cannot remove an old build if the App is still "In Review or a Rejected state".
AFTER STEP 1, Mouse Over/Hover over the row with the old build and a RED BUTTON appears on the right side of the row.
Click RED (-) Delete button.
After deletion the familiar UI that allows you to select a new build appears and you can select it.
Damn it Apple!! If it ain't broke, DONT FIX IT.

Can't update Android Studio - no "Update and Restart" button

My Android Studio (0.4.3 now) often displays a message that is ready to update, but the alert does not have an "Update and Restart" button:
I want to install this update but I don't know how I can do this. After I click the "Remind Me Later" button few times, the fourth button on the left is sometimes visible, allowing me to download and install the update. I haven't discovered any pattern when this button shows up and when it doesn't.
Why isn't it always visible?
This is bug https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=56737. If you dismiss the dialog and check for updates again, you usually get the button you're looking for. I don't know why this happens.
I have found a temporary solution for this problem (until they release a fix for it).
When Android Studio opens and the update popup shows up without the button, close it with the X button.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to open action search dialog, enter Event Log and open it.
There will be a message telling that Android Studio is ready to update and the word update is a link that will open a window with an Update and restart button.
Actually this issue is kind a bug not really a bug :). This is what you need to do
When an update is available, you'll see a balloon notification in the IDE.
Two important known issues:
1. The first time, you'll see a dialog that asks you to accept this channel. You need to press "More info" to accept this channel, otherwise you won't get notified about updates.
2. If you press the "Ignore This Update" button, there is currently no mechanism available to revert that decision and Android Studio will never tell you about that update ever again.
For more info. visit : Android Tools Project Sitebelow is snap from android tools official site
I am not sure why the button is not available, It might be possible that the version you have currently can't be upgraded to the latest version directly.
In such cases follow the steps mentioned below :
Download the latest OS respective Android Studio as zip(sdk excluded) from here :
http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary
Extract the downloaded Zip file somewhere
Close Android studio if running.
Go to current Android Studio installation directory.
Take a backup(safer side) of that and replace everything except sdk directory
with the content of extracted Zip file .
This also allows you to update studio in an offline system.
Clicking on 'ignore updates' and rerunning Check for updates for a couple of times did the trick for me.
