Editing Screenshots in Itunes Connect After iOS App Was Approved

Editing screenshots in iTunes Connect after iOS app was approved

Apple support now got back with the (somehow not too satisfactory) answer:

If your app is currently for sale on
the App Store, you will need to submit
an update in order to change your app
screenshots.

If you have any further questions
regarding this, please let us know.

Editing screenshots in iTunes Connect after iPhone app is in Pending Release

You can only edit / change your screenshots (app name, description, keywords) when the app is in an "editable" version: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ChangingAppStatus.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011225-CH30-SW23

Mainly these are:

• Prepare for Submission
• Waiting for Review (Some are locked)
• Waiting for Export Compliance
• Rejected
• Metadata Rejected
• Developer Rejected
• Invalid Binary

You can either reject your own approved version or release it and update it with a new version.

Editing Screenshots iTunes Connect for Approved App

Yes, if you have 5 images, you have to delete one first. It's the same when you upload your app and add screenshots for the first time.

Change screenshots of app after submission

Even more recently (who knows when...) apparently you can change screenshots again while the app is waiting for review.

More recently (2015 or earlier), you cannot change screenshots even while your app is "waiting for review."

---

You are not allowed to change them after the app has been approved so be quick. See this news release by Apple:

This move is thought to be a way to deter spammers from posting a fake app and then changing the screenshot to mimic an existing popular app.

• Description
• (Whats new in this Version)
• Support URL

Uploading new screenshots to iTunes Connect

Seems like Apple can't make up their mind what they want to allow. Originally, you couldn't and then they changed it to allow you to change them and now you can't change them anymore.

Here's the relevant section of the documentation:

Important: Screenshots are locked for all apps except Newsstand apps.
Newsstand apps are able to change their screenshots without creating a
new version of the app.
