With new itunes connect UI, I can't find the "reject this binary" option. I received an error "checksum validation failed" for my upload. Please help me to reject this binary.

I think this is a temporary issue from iTunes connect if you wish to remove you currunt build from App Store that appear as a waiting for review follow the following steps.

with the new iTunes connect you if your app is waiting for Review state you can see this type of information in side your app Details.

enter image description here

When you click on remove this version from review.

UPDATE

When your app is rejected or you are trying to new app upload do following steps:

  • First You have to upload a binary again from Xcode or Application Loader. There is appear you last setup Build with Version number select it and upload again.
  • Then, wait for some processing time and open your iTunes Connect account. You can check your uploaded build in Prerelease tab
  • After processing finish In Build section Click on + button and select a correct binary that you have uploaded and save. Here is actual Guide.
  • After that you may click on Submit for Review Button. And it may take some time for uploading on iTunes again

  • My app is "waiting for upload" state. I can see build uploaded in pre-release option. I visited the apple forum and there are more people facing this issue https://devforums.apple.com/thread/243714 – Ravindra M Sep 06 '14 at 05:59
  • My app is now "waiting for review state". It works with above suggestion. – Ravindra M Sep 06 '14 at 06:55

    Apple appears to have "improved" the design of this page as of 9/7/2014 -_- I'm not seeing a way to reject it anymore, and the iOS app trick doesn't seem to work either. – ianthetechie Sep 08 '14 at 16:37
  • how can I reject when the status is `Prepare for Submission` – meda Sep 10 '14 at 14:43
  • @NitinHi.. my app is rejected from iTunes Connect, Can you please help me to how can i reject or upload new binary when my app status is rejected in new UI, should i need to download XCode 6? – Anand Gautam Sep 11 '14 at 06:06
  • @AnandGautam check my update answer. Hope that working for you – Nitin Gohel Sep 11 '14 at 06:52
  • Thanks for your answer@NitinGohel. It means according to the new iTunes Connect UI, we dont need to manage application status, simply should upload new binary from XCode. So should i need to change the build and version in XCode in case if app is already rejected from iTunes Connect. Thanks – Anand Gautam Sep 11 '14 at 07:02
  • I think if app is rejected then you got the last build appear on choose option. so i dont think you need to change version if app is rejected. but if you are update your version then you need to change in you xcode as well. In short if there in application Loader drop-down appear build with last version that rejected so you no need to change in xcode. – Nitin Gohel Sep 11 '14 at 07:25

    This no longer appears to work. When I click the blue build version (as shown in your picture) it leads me to a new "Build Details" screen with no way to reject the binary. – Ethan Allen Sep 12 '14 at 01:16
  • Use the iOS app. We managed to reject a binary yesterday using the iOS itunes connect app. So if the reject button still isn't on the website try the app. – Simpa Sep 12 '14 at 05:52
  • @EthanAllen: This answer is about how to "reject" a submitted build from submission. It does not remove the build from the list of uploaded builds. You cannot remove a build from that list. You simply upload a new build and select a new build to submit. – user102008 Sep 12 '14 at 19:52
  • @NitinGohel i click on "Remove this version from review". Next what i need to do to upload my app to AppStore – Logger Sep 24 '14 at 15:33
  • no need to do after reject this binary simply uplado you new build with correction but make sure that version in xcode must be same. and same process for upload. – Nitin Gohel Sep 24 '14 at 17:40
  • I just learned that there are bunch thing on the app details page that *don't show up in browsers other than Safari* when I opened iTunes Connect in Safari, I was able to easily reject my binary without issue. – Matt H. Sep 27 '14 at 01:47

    I couldn't find anything like the "info" button, but when I went back and forth in my browser history it eventually showed up after some time. Phew, that was really irritating. – auco Oct 21 '14 at 21:56
  • 2
    Like @auco the blue box wasn't showing for me. I edited one piece of info (switched from automatic release to manual release) and that made the box show again. – rob5408 Oct 30 '14 at 19:52
  • 1
    @rob5408 toggling the manual/automatic release radio buttons didn't show the info box. Any other bright suggestions? – adib Nov 16 '14 at 11:57
  • @adib Did you save after you toggled? The save button shows up in the top right. – rob5408 Nov 16 '14 at 14:29
  • 1
    @rob5408 yeah I'd saved it and it didn't show. But I waited overnight and then the blue bar just appeared so I managed to reject my app and replace it with another binary. Strange? Yeah. Probably typical behavior for an in-house "enterprise" app, but unfortunately there's no "IT support" that an enterprise app usually comes with. – adib Nov 17 '14 at 15:53
  • @adib Sadly it's typical for Apple + Internet – rob5408 Nov 17 '14 at 21:24
  • Six months later, it seems that the issue hasn't been fixed yet. I had to submit app to validation, refresh the page once or twice before the blue bar appears and reject the binary. – Skoua May 05 '15 at 09:55
  • @Skoua yes that taking some time from iTunes Connect side after upload binary and it's being waiting for review state. but the reject option not appear Sudan that taking few mints or hour not fix. – Nitin Gohel May 05 '15 at 09:58

Right now the only way I've found is to reject it from the iTunes Connect Mobile application.

EDIT: You will need to change the version number anyway or just the build number.

NOTE: This answer pertains to rejecting/replacing a binary on the WEB INTERFACE for iTuens Connect, not the ITC app.

After uploading a new build - with a higher BUILD number [but the same version number] - I figured out that if you mouse-over the icon for your selected build [on the versions tab] you are given a "-" minus sign. When you tap that you can replace the current build with the newer updated build.

    Thanks, this worked in the end, but I could only make it work by manually unhiding the (-) button first (inspect element, locate the a href, then add `display:inline-block!important`). It seems that the new build is set successfully. – mvds Dec 19 '14 at 21:18
  • I also had to do what @mvds stated. Odd. Thanks for this info though. – James Jan 05 '15 at 19:45

You need to change the version number to something different. You will now see a 'remove this version from review' link at the top of itunes.

First upload a new binary with the new version number. Then you can click on the previous version and you will have the option to 'reject binary' and you can click the above link 'removing version from review'.

    this is the correct answer! you don't need to reject the binary anymore - just add a higher BUILD number (same version) and you can upload. then choose that build and submit. – Jonathan Plackett Oct 13 '14 at 19:56
  • They've made it easier. After submitting there is a link at the top that says 'remove this version from review' which will allow you to reject. – venturz909 Jan 10 '15 at 11:15

I just spent two hours trying to reject a binary, the option which should be just under the "Versions" tab simply wasn't there, even though other users have posted screenshots of it and it's described in the Apple docs.

The solution was to reset Safari completely, log back into iTunes Connect, and lo and behold, the option was now available.

When you hover your mouse you could see the option button, which you can update

For the latest version of itunesconnect.apple.com, it is very hard to find the reject binary (actually I don't find it at all).

You can download the 'itunes connect app', login and go to the specific version you want to reject. 'Reject This Binary' is marked as red, you can easily find.

This is an Apple issue and occurring following the new iTunes Connect UI release last night (2014-09-05).

I have experienced the same with a new app release. It has never been uploaded. The first upload failed due to the internet connection (adding just in case that is relevant). All uploads after (on completely unlocked connection) shows the error 'Redundant Binary Upload'.

Currently speaking to Apple Itunes connect support, will provide an update.

UPDATE - 15:23 GMT
Apparently no issue at present. They are emailing me steps to take, and send further information back for them to investigate. Will update again

UPDATE - 2014-09-06 After speaking to Apple again yesterday they escalated the issue and had someone look into this.

Now I can select the build against the app in ITunes Connect and there is a new button Submit for Review now showing up, well played Apple! :-|

I had the same problem,

and I can confirm that I could re-upload a binary by:

  1. Submit the app for review temporarily
  2. Then rejecting the app via the iOS iTunes Connect app

  • I have tried this today but didn't work. Uploading a new binary still ends up with "Redundant binary upload" – Zoltan Magyar Sep 10 '14 at 14:50
  • @ZoltanMagyar I have the same exact issue, I cannot get rid of the build, if you find a solution let me know. Will do the same – meda Sep 10 '14 at 15:04

    I'm trying http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25767777/how-to-remove-a-build-from-itunes-connect ATM. I.e. accepting that it is a change of philosophy and increasing the build number (not the version). :) – Zoltan Magyar Sep 10 '14 at 15:11

I uploaded binary and overlooked that in iOS8 method to register for remote notifications changed, since I couldn't find way to reject this binary I uploaded new binary with updated method and increased build version.

Gues what? They approved first build...

EDIT: I think that this might help: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/UploadingBinariesforanApp.html

On versions tab we can delete or select one of builds uploaded before, and one selected will be review by Apple

There is no 'reject this binary' option at new itunesconnect, because you can upload more then one builds for version. Furthermore you have chance to cancel review by selecting 'remove this version from review'. And then you can select another build to submit for review.

You can increase the build version in Xcode and upload a new build. This will solve problems with duplicate binaries.

  • That solution actually works. 09.11.2014. Otherwise other uploads will have status "Uploaded" and will not process further. – flagman Sep 11 '14 at 03:08
  • It does accomplish the end goal of being able to upload a new binary. However, it appears that there is no way to properly "reject" and remove a binary as before. It looks like all uploads are permanent and they have to have different (and I assume ascending) build numbers. – ianthetechie Sep 16 '14 at 04:53

    How/Where do you change the build number in xcode ? – CthulhuJon Oct 15 '14 at 20:32
