iOS Question [SOLVED]What do you do when there is no "+" in AppStoreConnect App Store tab?

[christianjeannot]

Hello Community,

I have in TestFlight the following builds/versions
- 1.5.0 (expired)
- 3.20.1 (expired)
- 3.21.1 (still in testing)

1.5.0 is an old version made with Xojo in 2018.
3.20.0 and 3.20.1 are made with B4i in 2021.

According to this discussion here there should be a "+" in the App Store tab on the left side to add a new build/version.
i do not see this possibility.

I had contacted the Apple developer support. They do not read properly or do not understand my problem. I had send several mails with screenshots and explained but the only thing I got back is a reference link to their documentation. This drives me crazy. My last option I see is to give them a call and talk to them directly.

Does anyone had such a problem?

Best regards

--Christian

I have expired my last build from TestFlight as suggested by the Apple support. As expected there is no change. I still have no possibility to add / select a new build.

Can it be a cache problem in your browser?

 

[christianjeannot]

Thank you for this hint. I will check it and try also another browser.

 

[christianjeannot]

I have cleared the browser cache and tried firefox. No changes.

You said that

- 3.21.1 (still in testing)

Did you submit it to the App Store for review or is still under TestFlight?

 

[christianjeannot]

It is still under TestFlight.
The described buttons in the link from #1 under the tab "App Store" to define a new build/version are not there.

Can you post a picture?

 

[christianjeannot]

Here are 2 pictures from the AppStore tab what I can see after I login and go to My Apps.

According to the documentation there should be a button to provide a new build/version.

What are you using test flight for? It is not needed.

 

[christianjeannot]

TestFlight is for my friend who is testing my App.

Why your app is rejected?

According to the documentation there should be a button to provide a new build/version.

Solve the reject first.

TestFlight is for my friend who is testing my App.

remove any app that is "ready" for test or production, (and maybe logout and refresh your browser, then login again)

I tried to remove the old, rejected version but I got an error message that it is not possible because of the App Store.
I hope I do not have to delete everything and start new with the certificates and profiles. I will see what Apple Support will tell me.

Thank you for this link. It is interesting to see that I am not the only one having this problem. According to some entries in this thread Apple seems not be able to solve this.
I had also to send many screenshots ?

I tried some hints from other devlopers having this problem. Still the same.

 

[christianjeannot]

I am working now with a Senior Advisor on my Apple Support case. He also involved a technical team. I do not get direct contact to the technical team.
I hope it will be possible to solve this timely.

If this will not help I may rename my app, some code, documentation, new certificate, etc. But this is a lot of work.

Very interesting, please keep us updated.

Just in case you want to know:
I have a rejected app and I have the option (+) then it is just an issue in his app (or account)
