Ok, this is not stricty related to B4I but ...
I have for example an app with version 1.0.8
When I do some modification and want to send the new versione to Itunes Connect (so the external beta tester can test it via TestFlight), do I have to change the version to 1.0.9 ?
Or do I have to leave the same version and upload again declaring somewhere "build 001, build 002 etc?"
Sorry if it is a stupid question

I think you can't send the same version again it will give the error: There is already a build with this version.
You have to create a new version and upload a new version build.

But what is the difference between version and build so ?
I have the Itunes Connect page like this:

Version 1.0.0 build 1.0.0
Version 1.0.1 build 1.0.1
Version 1.0.2 build 1.0.2
Version 1.0.3 build 1.0.3

I would expect instead something like

Version 1.0.0 build 001
Version 1.0.0 build 002
Version 1.0.0 build 003

I think I'm doing something not in the correct way

Hi,

marcick, your are correct.
The build number lets you know, how many builds it took to get a X version.
For example:

Version: 1.1.1
Build: 209
---> It took 209 builds to get version 1.1.1

You can change the build number in B4i with the following code (B4i sets the build number automatically to the version number):
B4X: 
#PlistExtra:<key>CFBundleVersion</key><string>209</string>

Interesting....
Is there any difference Apple-side if I submit a new version (from 1.0.8 to 1.0.9 for example) or I submit the same version with a new build ?
Maybe in the second case the approval is quicker?

It seems there is no difference uploading a new version or the same version with a different build.
You need anyway to wait the approval from the Beta App Review Team also for TestFlight .... GRRRR
