Delete iPhone app version in iTunes connect?

I have an app that has a great version 1. Very few bugs, etc. I sent in a update (2.0) and it's extremely buggy and apple accepted it. I didn't know it was that buggy when I submitted it - so I changed the availability date to the future. I am working on fixing it.

So my questions is - Can I delete this 'buggy' v2 and revert back to v1 so my app won't be off the market like it is now?

On the versions page, it will only show version 2 and a blank spot to add a version. Was version 1 erased?

Been searching for about an hour and haven't found anything yet. Thanks in advance! Coulton

If the app binary is already sent to iTunes Connect, but not been approved, do the following to get it "rejected by developer" (so you can upload new binary):

Step by step

  1. In iTunes Connect click "view details" on the new version
  2. Click on "binary details" to the upper right
  3. Then press a greyed button to the upper right to reject the binary

Now you can press "ready to upload binary" whenever you would like to update a correct version.

If you haven;t uploaded the next version build then surely you will have the availability of old version.Once apple approves the new version then & then only new version will be available, then it one can download the old version of apps.

For more details, I suggest is through apple guideline.

If you have not yet released version 2, then Apple still has the binary for version 1 and you can delete the binary version 2 and/or resubmit it at a later date.

If version 2 is released already (folks can download it from iTunes), then Apple no longer has version 1. In this case, you could release version 2.1 and have the app be the version 1 release, but you'll have to re-upload the binary for version 1 (hopefully you archived it). A poor but possible option is to release a new version 1.1 that is the old version 1 and have this replace version 2. Apple does not require version numbers to ascend (though good sense does, but you may have a strong case in this situation).
