iTunes Exclamation Point Error After Clicking "Submitting For Review" - app-store-connect

I recently finalized the settings for my iTunes connect iPhone app. It has a watchkit app as well if that matters. After saving it, I clicked "Submit for Review", and the page only reloads with an exclamation point next to the English selection. There is no other explanation. The app appears to be submitted, but I'm curious what this exclamation point means and if something should be resolved or adjusted for it? It is unclear.
With Menu expanded:

I met the similiar situation yesterday, I thought that's result from the iTunes connect update August 8 2016, red exclamation by all localized language without others information.
If you meet this situation from August 8 2016, maybe it's the case.
I contacted Apple support and finally submitted new version until
I filled up screen-shots for all sizes.
while you can upload the maximum size screenshot and 're-use' it for smaller size at 'Media Manager' page.

iTunes Connect: app’s developer support website

It used to be one can update developer’s support website for an existing app. I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Any suggestions?
Click on the current version of the app (probably says "Ready For Sale") to show its details page. The Support URL field you're looking for is about 1/4 of the way down, on the right. Make a change and hit the Save button at the top.

Oracle MAF: Clicking on Input text fields in a dialogue popups causing random crashes under Windows 10 Anniversary Edition

We have implemented a tablet-based application using Oracle MAF. The application runs on Windows UWP. When it was rolled out last year, it has been working fine until the customers upgraded Windows UWP on their laptops to Windows Anniversary edition. After some investigation, We found the following issues:
When user clicks on input text fields in a popup dialogue, the
application randomly crashes (not always but frequently).
When user clicks on input text fields in a normal window (i.e. not in a popup dialogue), and if the screen resolution is scaled (e.g. 150%), the
application also randomly crashes.
When screen resolution is not scaled (i.e. 100%), clicking on input text fields in a normal window
does not seem to cause crash. However, clicking on input text fields
in a popup dialogue can still cause crash.
We could not find any useful/relevant info in Windows log or in our application log.
We have also tested our application with the latest Windows Creator Edition and MAF 2.4.1, we found that the chances of random crashing seemed to have decreased, but crashing could still happen.
We have checked the Oracle MAF certification information at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/maf/documentation/maf241certmatrix-3746359.html.
It states that "Any tablet or desktop running Windows 10 with Intel processor" are supported. Our customers' laptop specs are:
Lenovo Yoga with Intel Core i5 processor;
Windows 10 Anniversary Edition;
Full High Resolution screen (1920x1080)
Therefore, we believe the customer laptops provide certified runtime environment for MAF applications.
We have researched various technical forums. There seems to be little information about using MAF under Windows UWP environment.
Because our application has been used in production, and the customer corporate mandate is to use Windows 10 Anniversary edition, the customer expressed grave concerns to us for choosing MAF as the mobile platform technology, and we are now under enormous pressure to fix this issue. Any suggestions and pointers will be highly appreciated.
If you can create a reusable test case, my recommendation to you is to lodge a Service Request with Oracle Support so Oracle's development teams can look at this.
We have done further investigation on the issue "input text field causing crash on Windows 10 Anniversary Edition". This time we used the demo CompGallery application from Oracle. We navigated to the "text box" tab, clicked on the text box in "outside a form", entered some text, then clicked on "inside a form" text box. The application crashed (or repeat the above sequence a couple of times on Windows Creator Edition, the application would crash). Note by using "tab" key or screen tapping to navigate between input text fields, we can avoid crashing. With extra clicks on different input text fields before entering text, we can avoid crashing as well.
The CompGallery screen is shown below:
We then looked at the Windows log, not much details were revealed. It contains an event related to the failure of edgethtml.dll, as shown in the screenshot below.

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)

Good luck!
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.

Facebook February 2013 Breaking Changes - how to get rid of "fix now" message in App?

48 mins ago I received an alert that says :
February 2013 Breaking Changes
fix now 48 minutes ago
Your app, needs to be updated for the February 2013 Breaking Changes.
Once your app is compliant, set the migration setting to "Enabled" in the Advanced section of the App Dashboard.
Your app needs to be updated by Tuesday 5th February 2013
I got this today on Monday 11th February. I found some instructions saying go to your migration settings and check the box for February breaking changes but I don't have a box for that as obviously the deadline has passed. I have a box for March and April changes and I checked those so in my alerts page they are showing as resolved but the February one still says "fix now".
My app is only used by me to create an "About" page for my facebook page tabs and is set up using Wordpress plugin called Facebook Tab Manager. All it does is display text that I type into the WP plugin and it displays that as an about page in FB tabs. It is still working as far as I can tell - I can see it. People who visit my page can click on the tab and read the text. That's all it does.
But how can I get rid of this "fix now" alert for February or make it go away? Is it still there because there is still something I need to change in the app settings because I can't see what it would be.
I wanted to contact Facebook to say why send me an alert 6 days after the deadline has passed but there seems to be no way to do that either.
Thanks for any help

Windows 8 app live tile has "X" in the bottom right corner

Just today I started noticing an "X" symbol in the bottom right of my live tiles, see picture.
I'm a little concerned, as I'm currently in the certification queue, that this means I've missed something from the package - a default badge image, for example. Do you know what this means?
The answer appears to be that your developer licence has expired!
when I tried to build something I got a popup alerting me to the problem and asking me to log in to my account again. At which point I was given a new developer licence, was able to build again, and all the crosses magically disappeared! :o)
I imagine the only reason your apps were still working was because they were still in a suspended state so weren't going through a proper launch cycle. The X means it won't run anymore as you don't have a valid licence.
