在应用程序上线之前,通过iTunesConnect提交第三版iOS应用程序

我们有一个iOS应用程序已经批准发布其1.0版本,我们提交了一个次要更新,1.1版本也获得批准,并且是“待开发人员版本”. “权利和定价”中首次提供的日期是从现在开始的一个月.

问题是以下内容 – 是否可以提交另一个更新(假设版本为1.2)而不强制应用程序提前上线？也就是说,如果我们在应用版本1.1页面上单击“发布此版本”,它是否会立即让应用程序在应用程序商店中生效？或者iTunes会否在“权利和定价”中尊重日期,应用程序将保持未发布状态,我们可以在现在开放的版本插槽中提交另一个更新？

Apple开发人员支持手册中的副本似乎表明该应用程序将在推出此版本时生效,但目前尚不清楚：

页. 72：

Availability Date

The date when your app will be available for purchase on the App
Store. If your application has not been approved by Apple prior to
this date,your app will go live as soon as it has been approved.

This is a global date,and applies to all territories selected. If you
change this date,it will apply to all versions of your application.
If you create a new version of your app,you may use the Version
Release Control feature in order to control the date your new version
is released to the App Store.

第73页：

NOTE: You can only use the Version Release Control on app updates. It
is not available for the first version of your app since you already
have the ability to control when your first version goes live,using
the Availability Date setting within Rights and Pricing. If you decide
that you do not want to ever release a Pending Developer Release
version,you can reject your binary to submit a new one. You are not
permitted to skip over an entire version.

解决方法

我们刚刚对此进行了测试,看来你在1.1版本上按“发布此版本”之后,应用程序实际上仍然保留,直到你在“权利和定价”部分设置发布日期(只要你没有然后发布了应用程序).因此,在向公众发布之前,可以继续向应用程序提交进一步的更新.
