- After Apps Are Available on the Store
iTunes Connect provides information about your app, including sales and download numbers and your earnings.
You can find information from your customers’ experience with your app, such as customer reviews, crash
reports, and the top scores reported in Game Center leaderboards. You can also view inventory your apps and
their configurations by running catalog reports.
Related Chapters: “Improving Your Customers’ Experience” (page 99), “Viewing Sales and
Trends” (page 117), “Viewing Payments and Financial Reports” (page 135), “Working with Catalog
Reports” (page 136)
After apps are live, you can manage store text and images. When you update an existing app, you’ll add the
new version to the same iTunes Connect record for the app. If needed, you can remove an app from the store
or transfer it to another organization.
当app成功发布到app store之后，可以管理之前此app存储的文本和图片。当你更新一个现有的app时候，会基于这个app同样的itunes connect record来添加新的版本。如果需要的话，可以从app store删除掉原有的app应用或者将其传送给其他的机构。

- Replacing Your App with a New Version app的更新功能
When you’re ready to distribute a new version of your app, you upload the new app binary version into the
same iTunes Connect record you created for the app’s previous version. Updated versions keep the same Apple
ID, iTunes Connect ID (SKU), and bundle ID as the original version. You can update the metadata used in the
store for the new app version and add a description of the new version’s features. Updated app versions are
available free to customers who purchased a previous version.
当你准备为app发布新的版本的时候，只要上传新的app binary version 到app之前版本的同一个itunes connect record。更新的版本保留着同样的apple id，itunes connect id（sku）和bundle id作为原始的版本。你可以更新app 版本号，新的版本特性，用户可以免费更新app
Adding a new version of an app is similar to adding the first version, except that you can set three additional
options:
添加新的app版本和之前的类似，除了三点
● What’s New in this Version. When adding a new version, you provide version-specific text to augment
the app description in the store.
新版本特性描述
● Version Release Control. You can set a date for when the new version is available for sale, or you can
trigger the release of the new version manually.
版本发布控制，你可以设置新版本可以销售的日期或者你可以手动触发新版本发布
● iCloud availability. If you are updating an app for legal or usability reasons, you can indicate that you
don’t want a previous version of the app to be available for availability on iCloud.
下面就是更新app的步骤
- 第一步 Creating the Next App Version in iTunes Connect
You can add a new version of an app when the current version’s status is “Ready for Sale” or Developer Removed
From Sale. The new app version goes through the same review process as the first version.
你可以为app添加新的版本，当当前版本状态为“ready for sale”或者开发人员将其移除。新的版本的app会和第一个版本走一样的审核流程
Note: If you find a problem with the binary whose status is “Waiting for Review” or In Review, you
can reject the binary and upload a revised version of the app without starting a new version. See
“Rejecting Your Binary” (page 86).
注意：如果你发现状态是“正在等待审核”或者审核中的app有问题，那么你可以丢弃binary并且上传一个修正的app版本而不用启动一个新的版本。这个功能详细见Rejecting Your Binary
Only the team agent or users with an Admin or Technical role can add a new app version. If your user account
doesn’t have the appropriate role, you don’t see the Manage Your Apps module on the iTunes Connect home
page. Contact a user in your organization with an Admin role to give you the right access. See “Viewing and
Editing iTunes Connect Users” (page 65).
只有团队管理人或者admin权限的人员才可以添加新的app版本。如果权限不够的话需要添加权限，这个详细见 Viewing and
Editing iTunes Connect Users
- To add an updated version of your app 为app添加更新版本
1，As an iTunes Connect user with an Admin or Technical role, sign in to iTunes Connect.
登陆itunes connect
2. On the iTunes Connect homepage, click Manage Your Apps.
点击manage your apps
3. Select the app you want to update.
Click See All or use Search to find the app if it doesn’t appear in the Recent Activity section. See
“Searching for Apps” (page 72).
选择你想要更新的app
4. In the Versions section of the App Summary page, click Add Version.
If the current version of the app doesn’t have the “Ready for Sale” or Developer Rejected status you
won’t see an Add Version button. If the app has not completed the app review process—it has a status
such as Waiting For Upload or Waiting For Review—you can replace the binary in the existing version.
See “Rejecting Your Binary” (page 86).
选择添加版本。如果当前app的状态不是“Ready for Sale” 或者开发人员Rejected status，就不会出现add version 按钮。这样你可以替换当前版本中的binary，具体查看“Rejecting Your Binary”
5. In the New Version page, enter the new version number and fill in the “What’s New in this Version”
field (release notes).
新的版本页上输入新的版本号并且填写“What’s New in this Version”field (release notes).
If the previous version of the app has localized metadata, this page presents sections to include the
What’s New information for each of the currently supported languages.
如果app实现了本地化，那么同时会出现多个语言版本的描述来提供输入
6. Click Save.
A new Version Details page shows you the information you just entered.
选择保存，新的版本详情页面就会展示输入的信息
7. Review and update the information to describe the new version.
The information from the previous version is shown. Review and edit the following sections, as needed:
浏览和更新新的版本描述信息，之前版本的会显示出来可以基于此来做编辑。
● “Version Information” (page 157), including the new version number, copyright information,
category, and ratings.
● “Metadata and Upload” (page 159), the localized text and images used to display the version in the
store.
● “App Review Contact Information” (page 164), information for the Apple review team.
● “App Sandbox Entitlement Usage Information” (page 166), entitlement information for the Apple
review team.
● “App Store Contact Information” (page 165), customer contact information for the app.
● “EULA (End User License Agreement)” (page 167), optional custom licensing information.
8. Fix any errors indicated for the new version.
查看新版本的问题
If there’s missing information required to save the new version information, you see messages at the
top of the page describing the issues. For example, if iTunes Connect has additional requirements since
you submitted the previous version, you see messages indicating what new information is required.
In the section with errors, click Edit and update the values.
When all errors are resolved, the Version Details page displays “Ready to Upload Binary” on the title
bar.
没有问题的话就会出现 Ready to Upload Binary
- 第二步 Uploading the New Binary
After you’ve prepared your iTunes Connect record for a new app version, you’re ready to upload the updated
binary. There are two ways to upload your binary. Both methods produce the same results:
● Using Xcode. If you choose to use Xcode, follow the steps for submitting and shipping your app in the
App Store Submission Tutorial. From inside Xcode, you associate your binary with the iTunes Connect
record you created for the app and complete the upload.
● Using Application Loader. From inside iTunes Connect, follow the steps below to answer additional
questions about the app, then download, install, and run the Application Loader to upload the binary.
You’ll be loading a .ZIP file for an iOS app or a .PKG file for a Mac application.
准备好新的版本以后就需要开始上传更新的binary了，有两种方式上传。一种是使用xcode，一种是使用application loader
To begin the Ready to Upload Binary flow
1. From your Version Details page, click “Ready to Upload Binary.”
点击Ready to Upload Binary.
If your app version has the status Waiting For Upload, it’s already passed through this step.
如果你的app显示的状态是等待upload说明已经通过了这个步骤了
2. If your iTunes Connect record isn’t complete, a message displays at the top of the page to indicate
what remains to be configured before the binary can be uploaded.
Resolve whatever issues remain and repeat step 1.
3. Indicate whether the new app version has added encryption functionality relative to the last version,
or whether that functionality has been modified or removed.
If you answer yes, you are asked to answer questions about the level of encryption included in the new
version. See “Authorizing for Export” (page 60) for more details about this step.
4. Indicate whether you are updating this app because of legal or usability issues.
If a previous version of the app is unsuitable for use because of a legal or usability issue, you can indicate
the version so that the indicated version won’t be available to users through iCloud. See “Preventing
App Versions from Appearing in iCloud” (page 113).
5. Click Continue.
6. In the Version Release Control page, indicate your preference and click Save Changes.
You can choose to release the new version as soon as it’s reviewed or to wait to trigger the release
yourself. See “Specifying When App Versions Are Released” (page 113).
7. Click Continue in the Application Loader instructional page.
If you are using Xcode, ignore the Application Loader instructions and instead follow the instructions
in “Submitting Your App” in the App Distribution Guide . Xcode uses Application Loader to submit the
app for you.
如果你使用的是xcode，那么忽略application loader介绍然后详细见Submitting Your App在文档App Distribution Guide中有描述。使用xcode来提交app
When you’ve successfully completed these steps, your app version status changes to Waiting For Upload. This
status allows Xcode or Application Loader to deliver the binary to iTunes Connect.
After the binary is uploaded, the new app version status is Waiting For Review. The App Summary page shows
the app currently for sale with status “Ready for Sale” and the version just added. This page will only ever show
up to two app versions.
当你成功完成所有的步骤后，你的app的版本状态就已经更改为waiting for upload了。当上传后，新版本的app状态会是waiting for review。页面最多显示两个app
- Transferring and Deleting Apps 传递和删除app
You move apps out of your organization’s catalog of apps by transferring an app to another organization or
by deleting the app. You want to transfer an app when you’ve sold the app to another developer or you want
to move it to another iTunes Connect organization. You want to delete an app when you’re ready to retire an
app and there’s no chance you will want to offer it for sale or download in the future.
You can transfer the ownership of an app to another developer without removing the app from the store. The
app retains its reviews and ratings during and after the transfer, and users continue to have access to future
updates. There’s no limit to the number of apps you can transfer, but each app needs to be transferred
individually.
All transfers and deletions are performed by the team agent. To learn more about a team agent’s function, see
“What Is a Team Agent?”
当将app卖给其他的开发者或者想将其移动到另外一个itunes connect组织或者想删除掉app
你可以只将拥有权转移给别人而不用在商店中移除此app。用户同样拥有下载免费升级的权利。而移交和删除都需要team agent来执行。查看"What is a Team Agent"来读取详情
- Deleting an App
Apps can’t be deleted if they are part of a Game Center group or currently displayed on a store. You’ll want to
remove the app from sale or from the group if you want to delete it. See “Removing an App from Sale” in
iTunes Connect Developer Guide or “Removing an App from a Group” in Game Center Configuration Guide for
iTunes Connect . Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted; instead, reject the app. See “Rejecting
Your Binary” (page 86).
如果app是game center group的一部分或者当前在商店中正在显示那么是不能被删除的。如果想要删除app需要将app从销售产品中移除或者从组中移除。具体请在itunes connect developer guide中查看“Removing an App from Sale”或者在其中的game center configuration guide for itunes connect中查看相关文档。未有被核准的app无法删除但是可以做reject动作，详情查看“rejecting your binary”。
Important: If you delete your app, you can’t restore it. The SKU or app name can’t be reused in the same
organization. If you’ve uploaded a binary or set up this app for the iAd App Network, your Bundle ID can’t
be reused.
重要：如果删除了app就无法再还原了。sku或者app名称不能在同一个组织内重复使用了。如果为iad app network上传了binary或者设置了app那么你的bundle id也就不能被重复使用了。
To delete an app from the store and iTunes Connect
1. Open the App Summary page for the app, as described in “To open the App Summary page for an
app” (page 36).
2. Make sure that the app status allows deletion.
You can delete your app when the latest version status is one of the following:
Prepare for Upload
Waiting For Upload
Invalid Binary
Developer Rejected
Rejected
Metadata Rejected
Developer Removed From Sale
Removed from Sale
If your app has a different status, you can delete the app by first rejecting the binary or by removing
the app from sale. See “Viewing and Changing Your App’s Status and Availability” (page 79).
3. Click Delete App.
If the Delete App button isn’t displayed, check that you’re the team agent and that the app is in one
of the statuses that allow the app to be deleted.
4. Click Confirm
