my first app got rejected because it has the word Youtube in the bundle ID. I've since then changed the bundle ID in the plist.info and in the bundle identifier in Xcode. I also create a new app id under the identifier section in the member center of Apple's developer site but when i try to change it in the EDIT APP INFORMATION section in itunes connect, there is no drop down menu so i can't choose the new bundle ID i made without the word youtube in it. It is because my app is in status "Waiting for upload"? Here what i want to change "Bundle ID" in the picture below.
The menu to edit the bundle ID (if you have never submitted) is now under More > About this App
7/25/16 update: Now you can just edit the bundle id under the App Information if you have never published uploaded a build:
Per https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Appendices/Properties.html, the Bundle ID "can’t be edited after the app is approved."
So, if you have app has previously been approved, then you can't change your Bundle ID. But, if your app has NEVER been approved, then you should be able to change your Bundle ID.
I think your issue is that your app is currently in the App Store review process. I would click on "Binary Details" and then click "Reject this Binary" at the top right. This will remove your app from the App Store review process (status will be "Developer Rejected")and you should now be able to edit your Bundle ID and then resubmit for review.
However, I am assuming your app has never been previously approved. If it has been approved before, I think you need to create an entirely new app.
Hope this helps!
I also have the same issue, and have been able to edit this field in past apps. I called Apple support and they said that the issue is; that once Game Centre is turned on for a BundleID it becomes non editable. We even tried turning Game Centre off but to no avail. They told me the options were to use change the BundleID back in Xcode to match the BundleID in iTunesConnect or to change the name of my game in iTunesConnect (to free up that name) and then create a new app/game in iTunesConnect with the newly freed up name and now proper BundleID.
It should be noted that if you change the name to free it up and create a new app/game, you will not be able to delete the old game/app from your iTunesConnect. It will just sit there in limbo.
They said that there is NO way to edit this field once it has been marked is not editable.
This doesn't answer the issue on how to change it but may make it so people stop spending hours trying to change their BundleID.
Cheers
My App hasn't been validated yet, that because on an error on the bundle id.
To edit the bundle id I went to App Information "Edit", and then I've changed (even created a new one)

I'm seeing the following error in iTunes Connect in the in-app purchase section for my app:
An In-App Purchase has been returned and is highlighted in the table
below
All of the in-app purchases for a new app have been rejected. They all show a status of Developer Action Needed. Going to each individual in-app purchase shows an exclamation sign with:
Your In-App Purchase has been returned. You must modify or delete
the highlighted item.
However, it there's no explanation at all of what the error is. This seems to be a problem a lot of developers have just started seeing:
https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/78997#78997
Any ideas what's causing this? Is it just another iTunes Connect bug?
I had the same problem, following is the screenshot of how my in-app purchase's details page did show a yellow highlighted portion:
What I did is: added another language.. then deleted the previous rejected language, then added the previously rejected-then-deleted language and then deleted the second added language. :-) And it worked!
There is some issue with your binary or metadata that caused app review to reject your app. You need to address that issue. AND: Rather than reject the IAP, app review 'returned' it. If they had rejected it you would have needed to recode a new IAP because once rejected an IAP can't be resubmitted. Once you address the reason the app was rejected, all you need do is open the IAP, add a " " to any field, save it, remove the " ", save it again and it will be ready. I do not recall if you also need to attach it to the new binary or whether it remains attached.
Similar issue
To fix it, I edited >App Store Information >Subscription Display Name, saved the change, then immediately reverted my changes!
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'm trying to change to a different bundle id in iTunes Connect but i can't find a way to do it in the new interface introduced by Apple. Also, i can't find the SKU information of my app like in the old iTunes website. My app is still not submitted for review. Any help?

Go to iTunes Connect
Select your app
Click on More
Click on About This App
Change your bundle ID
Click on Save
iTunes Connect > Your App > More > About This App
You may need to change the Bundle ID dropdown to Wildcard which makes the Bundle ID Suffix will be editable. You can put the full Bundle ID in there: i.e. “com.companyname.appbundleid"
To refine on all of these great answers
iTunes connect -> Your app -> on the left side panel App information and under General information you can locate the bundle ID drop down menu and select a different id and then save your changes.
Don't forget to add the new id to Apple developer portal 1st.
So I have my first app ready, and when I try to make my first app iTunes connect asks me for the Company name ( this is ok), but then, when I clik Next, it says:"You have no eligible Bundle IDs for iOS apps. Register one here". What is the Bundel IDs? I'm lost now, please help me.
Bundle ID is the unique identifier you give to your iPhone and iPad app when you create it.
E.G. "My Great Application" might have a bundle identifier of "com.user1176834.mygreatapplication.app".
When creating a new iPhone app, here is where you can see the bundle identifier:
In Xcode 4.3's case, whatever you type into the "Product Name" field will be copied automatically into the "Bundle Identifier" section; although you can change that later via the Project Settings, if you feel like it needs a change.
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'
