Something very particular about App Store Connect is the relationship between app store listing updates and versions. The important thing is that if you want to make changes in your app store listing, you need to create a new version.
Effective app version management is crucial for maintaining accurate store listings and resolving issues such as incorrect version numbers. AppRadar provides a streamlined process for creating new versions and addressing these challenges.
To import a current app version into AppRadar, follow these steps:
Release the current app version in the App Store.
Import the released version into AppRadar. Refer to AppRadar documentation for detailed guidance on the process.
As soon as you finish making changes in your app store listing inside App Radar, please go back to the Import & Export tab and click Export. The next step is to login to App Store Connect and submit the latest version to review, which is the one you were making changes in App Radar.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Unable to Create a New Version: Ensure the current version has been released and successfully imported into AppRadar.
Incorrect Version Numbers: Check that the current version is correctly imported before creating a new version to address previous submission errors.
Just be aware that when you import the new version to App Radar, all the information that you currently have in App Radar will be overwritten with what you have in App Store Connect.
The status of your version in App Store Connect:
Prepare for Submission - you can still make changes in App Radar.
Waiting for Review - you can’t make changes in App Radar, but you can login to App Store Connect and change the status back to “Prepare for Submission.” This way, you can still make changes in this version in App Radar and/or App Store Connect.
In Review - you can’t make any changes.
Ready for Sale - your version is live, and now, you can create a new version to make further changes.
As soon as you press “Submit to Review,” and your app version status changes to “In Review,” you will have to wait until it is "Ready for Sale" or "Rejected" to make new changes.
Effective app version management depends on ensuring the current version is properly released and imported into AppRadar, which grants access to all editing and management features seamlessly.
In addition to that, independently of which field you would like to change, you will always need Release Notes when submitting a new app version.
How do I know if I can still make changes in my app version in App Radar?
When your app is “Ready for Sale,” you will get a message in App Radar saying that you need to create a new version. If Apple rejects your app version, you will see an error message in App Radar.
