Change build of an app

If I have built an app, it is live in the app store, but I want to completely rebuild it and release it with the same name, is that possible? How do I do that?

Yes it is. You own the name, you own the app ID, so you can redesign it at your will.

You have to:

  • change the code ; don't forget to increment version number and build number (must be higher than previous one ; order is lexicographic)
  • create the new build and submit it
  • In appstoreConnect, select the app
  • Ask for a new iOS version
  • Give it a new version number in Appstore
  • publish the new screenshots
  • explain the changes for the new version
  • submit to review team

You can also add a comment to the reviewer before submitting if you want. But reviewer will probably not go and look at the older version anyway.

I had the same problem and I figured out I could not submit a new build because the previous one was still submitted for review.

So you need to ensure that your previous build is not submitted for a review yet. Then you can remove the build and upload a new one.
