I need to change the order of my App Store display screenshots. The developer said they need to launch a new build which will take 5-8 hours of work. The app is complete, I just need to change the order of the display photos on the App Store. Is there a cost effective way to do this?

Thx, Sam

Screenshots can only be changed when an app update is released.

This could be a trivial update with no real changes. It still needs to go through app review etc.

5-8 hours work seems not completely unreasonable, if the developer is going to do some proper pre-release testing etc.

The change itself is very simple and rapid:

archive a new build (even with no change at all in code), just change version and build numbers
in Appstore Connect, reorder the screenshots. If no new screenshot needed, it should take about 5 minutes for each localization
submit the new version.

After this there is no more work, unless the submission is rejected.

So, the raw time is very limited, less than 1 hour.

But, as @endecotp pointed out, the real workload may depend on extra tasks like testing, documenting, updating web pages for the app… Only you can know.
