How to submit an update on iTunes Connect

Unity Engine

switchaball 1.0.0 needs a 1.0.1 update. There’s an update procedure via Itunes connect. Do go through the process in exactly the same way as for the original app but stop after I’ve archived it in xcode 4, and then browse to/upload the archived file via the iTunes connect web page when prompted to do so? Sorry to be dense but this is post google no doubt the wrong keywords (there should be a verb for that; I suggest ‘to googlerrerr’.)

Yeah just follow the instructions for “Updating your Application”.

The App Store uses three pieces of information in your application to identify a submission as an update to an existing application. *When you are submitting an update of your application to iTunes Connect for App Store distribution, make sure to:

Use the same Distribution Provisioning Profile to build each new version of your application
Increment the CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString values in your project Info.plist file. Note: Version numbers must be period-delimited sequences of positive integers (1.0 to 1.1, or 2.2.1 to 2.2.2).

Thanks for getting back to me. I finally found the relevant Itunes connect document. So it can all be done via Xcode the same as the original version once you’ve told iTunes connect that an update is pending. The only thing that’s confusing me is the Info.plist. I’ve inceremented from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 inside Unity and that’s reflected in the Bundle Version field in Xcode’s info pane which I assume refers to the CFBundleVersion. If that’s the case I can see no field within the Xcode info pane that refers to the CFBundleShortVersionString. I’m sure I’m missing something very obvious…?

Yeah you just need to set that variable in the info.plist file.

Open it in xcode. Then find the variable bundleVersion (mouse over it) there should be plus and and minus button, hit the plus button, it will add a new variable - change it to Bundle versions string, short and set the value to 1.1 (or whatever).

I am not sure why unity doesnt do that automatically since its abit of a pain in the ass

Good tip! Thanks for all your help.
