I have an app called "Gatti" in the Apple Store. I'm trying to submit a new version called Gatti Lite but i'm very confused. In my app (created using storyboard) i've a scrollView with a lot of buttons. In the lite version i want to reduce the number of this buttons (then functions). I've tryied to duplicate targets but i have a lot of unsolved questions:
i've to create a new storyboard? Can i put this new storyboard like the main for the lite version?
Can I update, with an in-app purchase button, from lite version (removed) to the full version?
Does exist a Walktrought to do this operation in Xcode 4 (buil a lite version)?
How can I create two separate apps in the apple store? I want to have 2 different icon, description,...in the itunesconnect. Is it possible? (in the lite version i can't use the full version's description.
Thank You guys!
If you want to write and distribute another version of your application (lite) at App Store then you should have another project in xCode, create new storyboard and bring needed code from full version. Two projects, two apps.
As I know you can't replace your app to another app with in-app button (this upgrade from lite version to full is de facto replacing one app to another)
How to publish new app:
Create new app Bundle ID here https://developer.apple.com/certificates/index.action
and then add new application via iTunesConnect https://itunesconnect.apple.com
You will have two apps on AppStore with different meta and icons
There's similar question on StackOverFlow about connecting lite and full versions Connecting the LITE Version to the FULL Version on App Store
You can look there

We have a published app in the Teams App Store.
And we are updating valid domains list from time to time (Adding new valid domains).
So we have to be sure that all users have latest version of the app.
If someone has old version of the app (without this valid domain name) they will not be able to open that site in task module window.
It is very important to keep the app updated.
So as we expected users are experiencing issues with valid domain names.
And the simple question "which app version does user have" led us to next issues: lack of a basic functionality on Mobile versions of the Teams app and a bug on the Desktop/Browser versions of the Teams app.
Mobile apps: There's just no way of getting app version. Or at least we haven't found it.
Desktop/Browser apps: There's 'About' tab with the description of the app and it's version. But in our case the text is long and the section is not scrollable so users can't scroll up and get app version. Check the screenshot below
Is there a way of updating the app for all our users of all tenants ?
Any help would be appreciated.
#Oleksa, #Hilton - Process of updating the version of the app is similar to how you submit the app initially to store.
Teams does not force users to update to latest available version of the App but it shows small banner with the message "latest version of the app is available" which user has to go and update to the newer version.
I am surprised, #Hilton did not have this question till now :)
As of (19/1/2021), You can only upgrade an app on desktop and not on mobile. Upgrading the app on desktop will automatically do the same on mobile.
I have implemented an app only in iPad compatibility. And I have uploaded the app on itunes.
Now if I want to make compatibility of app for iPhone and iPad both then it is possible for next version?
Any suggestion please...?
Yes.
You must change Devices : Universal
This could enable you to create an initial version that targets either iPhone or iPad, and then later switch to Universal and submit it as a new version. The App Store will then automatically recognize that the new version of the app is Universal, and you would need to add additional screenshots, etc. for the new devices.
I want to upload my app to release a test flight version. I believe it is allowed to upload using beta Xcode's for Test Flight.
However after I've done the Archive and go to Organiser, when selecting the Upload to Appstore button, the popup with the dropdown with my Development teams, shows all my teams but they are greyed out.
The only team it does show is one where the development and distribution certificates have different names, and it allows me to select the distribution one. I didn't set up this account so not sure what was done differently that lets me select that one and none of the others.
Is this due to the beta Xcode? I'm also running beta OS 10.11.4. I thought we can still upload and release to test flight.
Apps must be sent to the App Store using a final version of Xcode (the one you download from the Mac App Store). Sending apps with Xcode Beta is not allowed by Apple.
Refer to this answer about Xcode 6.3 Beta: Submitting iOS app using beta version of xcode?
I am creating a launcher/updater for my Unity game, and I'm using a Cocoa/AppleScript type project so I can download updates from my web server and launch them, but I have no idea how to do that, I would also like to implement a progress bar that shows people the progress of the download/update.
The OS is OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
Xcode 5.1.1
For an app update, if it is not in App Store, the option that you have is Sparkle (http://sparkle-project.org/). if it is a single app, you will be able to use sparkle directly. If your product is a complex one with installer (pkg etc), you can tweak sparkle a bit to support that.
Related to How to download app data in Xcode 4.2, I am using XCode 4.6 and can no longer download my app data using the Xcode Organizer. My app was recently released to the app store, and I can't recall, but I may have downloaded my app from the app store. In any event, the current version of the app on my phone is a development version (through Xcode, not app store). Other development apps show up in the Organizer, but not my released app. Since I don't want to lose the data associated with the app, I can't just delete the app, and re-install through Xcode. Suggestions?
If you coded your app to save the data to the app's Application Documents directly you can use a tool like PhoneDisk (or the newer iExplorer - http://www.macroplant.com/phonedisk/) to access your device and copy the contents from the documents folder to your desktop (or wherever).
Often times when we build apps with databases and we want to make sure users can easily backup, transfer, and/or email the DB to customer support so we enable iTunes file sharing.
This allows users to open iTunes, choose their device, select the Apps tab, then scroll down to the File Sharing section. From there the user can select any file located in the documents folder and easily copy the files to/from the device via iTunes.
To do this, you must enable Application Supports iTunes File Sharing by adding the same key and setting the BOOL value to YES in the *-Info.plist file for your application.
