iTunes Connect: Where did the vendor id go? - app-store-connect

As of yesterday, Monday 2/17/2014, the iTunes Connect site changed. I can no longer find the vendor id on any of the iTunes connect pages. I find the Apple ID fine for each app, but I need the vendor id, not the app id.
We have been running the autoingestion tool for years to pull download numbers for our clients' apps. As of yesterday I can no longer find this vendor id for the autoingestion tool.
Can somebody point me to where I can find this id?

With the last update on iTunnes Connect, in the Sales and Trends section, pressing on the top
right menu that shows "Top Content" can access to the Reports entry (direct link).
There you can see the "Vendor" selector, pressing on it you can see the Details of the vendor with the following format:
VendorName - VendorId
Hope it helps.

There is another way with the existing reportingitc2 URL. Choose "Reports" from the top left menu (Where default is "Top Content"). From the form that will be shown, choose monthly report and download. The downloaded file will be of format S_M_(VendorID)_TIMEPERIOD.TXT

Read on Apple Dev Forum
"Removing the numeral 2 in the url reverts back to the old interface."
so visit
"https://reportingitc.apple.com/index.html" instead of
"https://reportingitc2.apple.com/index.html"

Its works but I don't know how long it will work for.

There is not field about company name in itunesconnect for first ios application

I have an individual apple developer account. I tried to upload a new ios application, but I had a problem. There is an error message "Please enter a company name to use within the iTunes Store.", but there is no field for company name. This app will be the first app of this individual account. There is a screenshot here :
Thanks for helping...
You have to do a little trick.
In that screen once you have the error, you have to put the html inspector and look for "company" the field has a "ng-hide" class. Delete it ("ng-hide") in the html view an then you can see the company name field, fill it and it works ;)

How to change bundle id in new iTunes Connect?

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?
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
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.

Can't change bundle ID in itunes connect?

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!

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)

Image not showing up with other hashtagged images and Gramblr

I am not a developer but I am a university researcher studying informal education through social media.
Recently I just had my account disabled when I tested the application gramblr for uploading photos to Instagram. As I have a few members of my learning community who wanted to participate but could not afford a smartphone I wanted to find them alternate options.
Presently anything I upload and tag does not show up amidst other images with the same tag.
This is a big problem as I am the lead researcher and the community organizer, and I lead through example, as well as create various educational avenues through the use of tags.
Please help me to resolve this issue as soon as is possible.
Thank you

I was having the same problem. Gramblr actually broke my Instagram account. I had to delete it and start with a new account. Here is how I figured out how to upload photos from my PC with no smart phone:
1 - Download and install BlueStacks: http://www.bluestacks.com/ When running, this program will produce an environment in which you can run popular apps on your computer.
2 - Search for the Instagram app within the BlueStacks App Player & install it. Also search for the Roots Browser app and install it as well (you'll use this app to upload photos from your computer.)
3 - Open Instagram inside BlueStacks & either register a new account or sign in with an existing one.
4 - Open the Roots Browser app and navigate to the desired folder where you will be storing images copied from your computer. I chose SD Card > Pictures. Pull the image(s) into the folder & drop it. It will ask you where you want to send it - choose Instagram.
5 - Open the Instagram app. To upload photos from your computer you must go into the Instagram settings (maybe under Advanced Settings) and disable/uncheck the Instagram camera. In the lastest updates the placement of this checkbox option has changed, so it may take some looking around to find it.
6 - In the Instagram app, click on the camera icon to upload a photo. Choose gallery & then navigate through your Root Browser to the folder where you dragged in your chosen image(s). Choose an image.
7 - Post as you would normally by following the prompts/icons to progress.
I ran into 1 more issue. It turns out that my BlueStacks Instagram app would get stuck after choosing the photo & trying to continue with posting. The screen would turn black & nothing happened for a very long time. I ended up having to update my graphics card drivers & that fixed the problem. If you need help updating your graphics card driver(s) see the http://www.ma-config.com/en website. It will help you to figure out what drivers can be updated. You'll have to download the proper version for your computer operating system & install it on your computer. Double click the icon on your desktop after installation to run it & then hit the refresh button in the browser on the ma-config website. Follow prompts to download drivers needed.
This is the method that worked for me. There are several other methods if you search YouTube with combinations of words including BlueStack & Instagram.
Blue stacks has tons of adware/malware etc. according to my security software, the better work around is dropbox. Put the image in drop box on your computer, then on your phone select your photo from dropbox. A bit long winded but it works.

How to delete an app from the App Store with NEW iTunes Connect

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
smily
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'
