Delete App from Itunes Connect

How to delete an app from iTunesConnect / App Store Connect

Here's the answer to my question I got back from Apple support.

Hi XXX,

I am following up with you about the deletion of your app, “XXX”. Recent changes have been made to the App Delete feature. In order to delete your app from iTunes Connect, you must now have one approved version before the delete button becomes available. For more information on the recent changes, please see the "Deleting an App" section of the iTunes Connect Guide (page 96-97):

You can only delete an app from the App Store if it was previously approved (meaning has one approved version).

From iTunes Connect Developer Guide - Transferring and Deleting Apps:

Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted; instead, reject the app.

As of 2016, new changes have been made to iTunes Connect. Here are the screenshots of deleting an approved app from your account.

Delete App from iTunes Connect

Refer this Apple document: Deleting an App

You can delete your app if there is at least one approved version of the app and the latest version status is one of the following:

• Prepare for Submission
• Invalid Binary
• Developer Rejected
• Rejected
• Metadata Rejected
• Developer Removed From Sale
• Removed from Sale

If your application status different (other) than above list, refer this Apple document: Viewing and Changing Your App’s Status and Availability

First, change your application status according to this tutorial and then delete app from store.

Itunes Connect can't delete app

No matter what your account prevelages are, you can't delete an app on Preparing for Submission status.

According to the iTunes Connect Developer Guide.

Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted

So, for now, you need to sitback and wait for the review result. Once you got the result(whatever accepted or rejected) you can delete your app.

Update 2018: You can now delete unused/never submitted apps from App Store Connect

How to Delete App from itunes connect, which is in Prepare For Submission Phase

Apple says

Apps that have not been approved yet can’t be deleted; instead, reject
the app. Apps must have at least one approved version before they can
be deleted.

One solution is to rename that application and then use the name by creating a new one. Apple accepts the name and the app will then be in review. Ref: How to delete an app which is waiting for upload?

deleting app a rejected app from itunes connect because I want changed from universel to iphone

You will have to give your new iPhone-only app a new bundle id and create a whole new app for it in iTunes Connect.

If you don't want to sell the original universal app, remove it from sale in iTunes Connect. View the app in iTunes Connect. Select "Pricing and Availability". Then select "Remove from sale". Save.
