What is "reject binary" button?

nir3112

After I sent my app to Apple I found some bugs and other stuff..and I want to fix them and send it again..
So..I see in iTunes Connect the button "reject binary"
And I have to ask.. If I press this button what's gonna happen? I will lose my app name? All my app will be deleted?
Thx nir3112.

It does what it says it rejects the file which is called a binary. That's it.

When you hit the reject binary button, Apple removes your App from the 'review' queue if it has not been published. If it has you should 'Add A Version' instead and ensure you version it in xCode 1.1 or whatever.

I would suggest that you have two choices....

(1) Wait for Apple to respond to your App, if they reject it then simply upload your latest version with bug corrections, if the App goes live then simply add a new version.

(2) Reject your binary now. Rejecting a binary puts you back to the back of the review queue, so I guess it depends on when you uploaded the binary to begin with, if today, simply rejecting it won't remove it, just that you want another chance to send a better version.

BTW You will have to go back to iConnect when you are ready and click on ready to upload binary again, so check if you added encryption etc or changed the App due to legal reasons... which I am assuming you won't have.

I think I will go with the first choice because I sent my app 5 days ago and it still on "Waiting for review"..
Thx!

I wouldn't recommend the first option if your game is buggy people will download it and use it with bugs. It can take a few days to get an update out. You don't get a second chance at a first impression. Option one in my opinion is horrible advice.
