Three New App Status Indicators in iTunes Connect

We’ve added three new status indicators to iTunes Connect which give you a more precise indication of the state of your app when you are submitting your binary for approval. Prepare for Upload indicates that you have created a new version, but you have not yet clicked the Ready to Submit Binary button, which indicates that you are ready to deliver a binary through Application Loader. This state’s status color is yellow. Pending Developer Release indicates that the version of your app has been approved by App Review and you have turned on the Version Release Control, but have not yet clicked Send Version Live. This state’s status color is yellow. You should also see a pending action symbol on the version. Your version will remain in this state, and thus will not be live on the App Store until you click Send Version Live. Processing for App Store indicates that the version is being processed to go live on the App Store. Once the processing is complete, the version state will change to “Ready for Sale.” This state is very temporary (1-2 hours). This state’s status color is yellow. For more information, refer to the App Store Resource Center, App Store Approval Process section.

New App Status Indicators Added to Help Track Binaries Submitted in iTunes Connect

We’ve added two new status indicators to iTunes Connect: “Upload Received” and “Invalid Binary.” These new statuses give you a more precise indication of the state of your app when you submit your binary through Application Loader. Upload Received means that your binary has been received through Application Loader but has not yet completed processing into the iTunes system. Invalid Binary means that your binary has been received through Application Loader but did not meet the requirements of iTunes Connect. For more information, refer to the App Store Resource Center , App Store Approval Process section.
