Can't Add a New iOS Version for My App

I can't create a new version for any of my apps?

Been experiencing this exact same issue since 11am (CET) from multiple Developer accounts. Tried in multiple browsers but it seems like a server side issue @Apple. So you're not the only one :)

For a conclusive answer on this it's best to contact iTunes or App Store support.

An issue of iOS app update

Yes. You can add to check update available or not. And also you can know whether update is available or not. First you need to get the current app version number from info.plist file. Later you have to fetch version number from apple itunes. Now compare both updates and if appstore version is greater than current version, show a popup saying new update is available. This whole thing you can do it from AppDelegate when user every time launches app or from wherever based on your requirement.

Here is how to fetch version numbers:

Swift Version

  func appUpdateAvailable(storeInfoURL: String) -> Bool
    {
        var upgradeAvailable = false

        // Get the main bundle of the app so that we can determine the app's version number
        let bundle = NSBundle.mainBundle()
        if let infoDictionary = bundle.infoDictionary {
            // The URL for this app on the iTunes store uses the Apple ID for the  This never changes, so it is a constant
            let urlOnAppStore = NSURL(string: storeInfoURL)
            if let dataInJSON = NSData(contentsOfURL: urlOnAppStore!) {
                // Try to deserialize the JSON that we got
                if let lookupResults = try? NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(dataInJSON, options: NSJSONReadingOptions()) {
                    // Determine how many results we got. There should be exactly one, but will be zero if the URL was wrong
                    if let resultCount = lookupResults["resultCount"] as? Int {
                        if resultCount == 1 {
                            // Get the version number of the version in the App Store
                            if let appStoreVersion = lookupResults["results"]!![0]["version"] as? String {
                                // Get the version number of the current version
                                if let currentVersion = infoDictionary["CFBundleShortVersionString"] as? String {
                                    // Check if they are the same. If not, an upgrade is available.
                                    if appStoreVersion != currentVersion {
                                        upgradeAvailable = true                      
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        return upgradeAvailable
    }

Objective-C

 -(BOOL) needsUpdate{
    NSDictionary* infoDictionary = [[NSBundle mainBundle] infoDictionary];
    NSString* appID = infoDictionary[@"CFBundleIdentifier"];
    NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=%@", appID]];
    NSData* data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
    NSDictionary* lookup = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:0 error:nil];

    if ([lookup[@"resultCount"] integerValue] == 1){
        NSString* appStoreVersion = lookup[@"results"][0][@"version"];
        NSString* currentVersion = infoDictionary[@"CFBundleShortVersionString"];
        if (![appStoreVersion isEqualToString:currentVersion]){
            NSLog(@"Need to update [%@ != %@]", appStoreVersion, currentVersion);
            return YES;
            }
        }
        return NO;
    }

How can I install a new version of my app without replacing the old?

Make it another app by changing the bundle id. You can't have 2 versions of the same app (same bundle id but different version number).

iTunes connect cannot create new ios app version

You rejected 1.0. You can't create a new version. Just submit an updated build for 1.0 and release that.

IOS/AppStore How to Submit New Release of Existing App For Review

Click on the "App Store" tab instead of "Activity" tab. If you haven't already, click on the "+ Version or Platform" link and add the new iOS version. Then select that new version. Fill in all of the details. Then next to the Build section, click the circled + icon and select your build. Save the changes and submit for review.

iTunes Connect won't let me create a new version of an existing App

Apple fixed the problem after I submitted a itunesconnect support request. It had to be escalated to the dev group, so it took about a week.

Everything is working now. They didn't say, but my guess is that it was related to trying to create a new build while they were starting maintenance on the server.
