We have been submitting iOS apps to the App Store with versions like:

Version: 1.17
Build: 1.17.45

However, it's causes us issues when we have long running features that need to be tested outside of our normal releases. I'd like to put an identifier like:

Version: 1.17.0
Build: 1.17.0-FooBar45

If I try and submit this it just gives back the error:

ERROR ITMS-4236: "Invalid value '1.17.0-FooBar45' for bundle_version" at SoftwareAssets

I have also tried the following versions, all with the same error:

  • 1.17.0.FooBar45
  • FooBar45

The only time it worked was with 1.17.0.45 but that's no better than what we have now.

I cannot find any documentation about what is a "valid version" or if it's just failing because we already have a test flight build with 1.17 in place.

  • you must be use higher number that not lower then previous version and make sure that value in number. Characters are not allow – Nitin Gohel Apr 22 '16 at 06:15
  • @NitinGohel But according to the docs, "While developing a new version of your app, you can include a suffix after the number that is being updated; for example 3.1.3a1". I haven't succeeded with that though. Same issue.

CFBundleVersion has to be a pure version number like 1.21.11 when you want to upload your application to the (iOS) App Store.

You can refer this answer for more clarity : What's the difference between “version number” in itunes connect, “bundle version”, “bundle version string” in xcode?
