Recently i have uploaded application on iTunes successfully. Now my application is in Ready for Sale status.
However I made a mistake in Bundle ID. My client has requested that he wants to change the bundle id.
So I plan to create another app with new bundle id and unpublish the old one.
Couple of questions:
iTunes does not allow me to create another app with same name. (would it allow me if I unpublish the old app?)
Would there be any issue in apple review when I submit the new app for review? (as i had an old app which i unpublished)
Note: It has been only 2 days since the app has gone “ready for sale”
Questions of answer:
iTunes does not allow me to create another app with same name. (would it allow me if I unpublish the old app?)
Ans. Yes, first unpublish app then create another app with the same name OR First old app new version create and change app name then create the new app with the same name.
Would there be any issue in apple review when I submit the new app for review? (as i had an old app which i unpublished)
Ans. No, there be no issue in apple review.

We are working in RingCentral application and APIs with SMS and fax permissions.
The application recently moved to production from Sandbox environment.
We have now a requirement to add 2 additional permission ReadAccount, ReadContact in the app which was not added during sandbox testing.
How can we do that? I don't see any option to modify the app. Is there any way we can modify the existing app?
As per I know once your app is in production, you cannot change anything.
You need to ask devsupport#ringcentral.com for any help. Once they added the permission with your request (not sure if they do.. most probably they don't) you need to test again for that permission you acquired.
The official recommendation is to create a new app, add proper permissions and graduate it. So in that case you need to go through again.
As per the reference here
"You can clone the app, give it a new name or add a version to the new app name. Add the missing permissions and run test in the sandbox the same way as you did for the first app. Graduate your app and finally replace the client Id and secrete to use the new app. You can suspend the old app after that."

I published my recent react native app apk to the play store.
Some users may have neglected the app update notification from play store and still using the previous one unknowingly. How to remind them to update it?
As suggested by #riwu, a push notification is a great way to inform your user to update the app. It would be more interactive if you could put an alert in the app saying something like "Newer version of this app is available, Please update for better services" when the user receives a push notification .
You can also restrict the user if he isn't using the latest version app, and you don't want the previous version to be used. (A mandatory update)
I wanted to add a share link of the app I am publishing to the store, but want to add a link to the share code within the app, how can I get the link before submitting the app for review?
Not that I need to web link of the app and not the package family name which I already have from Package.Current.Id.FamilyName
I know we can get the guid for windows phone 8 app, which can be used to add in the app. I cant find any similar thing in the windows dashboard. Any idea?
Use Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentApp.linkUri. Until you're published, this won't contain anything meaningful, but once the app is published it will point to the app's page in the Store.
I have an existing app already on the app store... I want to upload a new app to the app store but its asking for a bundle ID? Can I use the same one I used for the first app or is it a new bundle ID for every new app?
Thank you!
You will need to create a new bundle ID. Please see Apple's documentation, "iTunes Connect Developer Guide"
iTunes Connect Developer Guide
Specifically, the Bundle ID needs to be unique for each app. You will also need a new iTunes connect profile. It is, unfortunately, a complicated process.
I have a question regarding app submission.
Situation: We have an iPhone Developer account and our customer has an iTunes Connect account. Is it possible that we hand them the signed, zipped application (that is signed with a provisioning profile from OUR account) and they upload it on their account?
Or is it REQUIRED that they give us acces with the "technician" role?
From my first impression, i think it should be possible that both accounts are not in any way connected, but i am not sure.
Any help is appreciated. If it is possible, please post references, Thanks =)
I think the short answer to the question in the title is "No".
See the iTunesConnect > FAQs > Manage your applications
I sold my app to another developer and
can no longer distribute on the App
Store. Can I transfer the app to the
new developer's iTunes Connect
account? At this time, applications
cannot be transferred to another
developer account. If you would like
the application to be sold through
another developer account, you will
need to remove the app from sale in
the current iTunes Connect account and
upload the app under the new iTunes
Connect account.
Not exactly your question, but sounds similar enough.
We had a need to resign a 3rd party developer supplied app with our signing keys - which sounds similar to what you want to do:
1) Use Xcode's Build > Build and Archive feature to create the version of the app to had off to your customer.
2) Select that build in the Archived Applications source in the Organizer
3) Choose Reveal Archived Application in Finder from the contextual menu
4) Select and compress the enclosing folder
5) Send that zip archive to your customer.
Your customer would then unzip and expand that archive in ~/Library/MobileDevice/Archived Applications. That will make it available in the Xcode Organizer. Your customer can then use the Share Application… and/or Submit to iTunes Connect… buttons to re-sign and distribute the app using your customer's distribution provisioning profile.
EDIT: A follow up that may not be clear from the info above.
To be able to do this, the 3rd party developer needs to build the app with your development profile; e.g. they need to be a "Team Member" of your account. They can do nothing more than build the app and sign it with development keys. Then they can deliver a build that has been compiled with your development keys at which point you can re-sign this with your distribution keys and submit.
If you need to, you can remove them and revoke their information from the iOS Provisioning Portal after successful app deployment.
EDIT2: With the Xcode 4 .xarchive bundles, you can just copy the .xarchive bundle into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives/[date]/ folder. Then it will show up in the Organizer under the Archives section - validate, share and submit from there.
