We submitted our binary, but discovered that there was an error. I uploaded a new binary from XCode6 and it shows up in the Prerelease Tab of iTunesConnect. It has a higher build number (#706) as opposed to the "waiting for review" version (#704).
I can't reject #704 and replace it with #706 in Waiting for Review. There is no reject binary button anywhere in the iTunesConnect UI, nor on the mobile app. According to the Apple Documentation it should be here, in this screenshot:
I have the same issue on my iPad, and if you search the store, it seems to be hidden. If I search the store on my Mac in iTunes, it shows up though.
The direct link to it is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-connect-mobile/id376771144?mt=8
It also is a universal app, so it has an interface designed for the iPad.
Clicking this link on my iPad though still doesn't take me to the actual app. I think this may be a bug in the App Store. I can see it in iTunes on my computer and add it to my iPad that way.
After syncing it to my iPad through my computer, it launches fine, will connect, and looks good. The copyright on the app is 2010 though, so it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while (for example, no retina graphics on iPad). I did have a few times it threw an error saying it couldn't connect. I also don't have any apps in thee right now to test.
Yes. This has happened to me. Apple sends your submission through a light testing regime by a human. If they pick up an egregious bug or substantially incomplete feature, they may reject your submission.
You could change the verbiage on the button to make it clear the feature is not yet implemented, which would probably pass.
One suggestion is to have a live blog and link to discussions, using a redirect from your web server to track which button was pressed in the app. This way, reviewers arrive at a logical page while you could track which version of the app was used. Why risk rejection for submitting something with an incomplete feature when you can have a simple "coming soon" link before you submit your app for review?
Best Answer
If you cannot reject an app after a day or two of trying, the best thing would be a call to Apple Developer support.
