iOS App Store Submission problems

[338...@gmail.com]

I submitted new versions of my apps to the Apple app store but they were rejected because of Missing Purpose String in Info.plist errors,  NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription and NSCameraUsageDescription. There was no error from the x-code submission but I received e-mails from Apple rejecting them. I found a discussion on this in the forum and added the necessary build hints.

I then resubmitted an app but of course it was rejected because of the build number. ITMS-4238: You already uploaded a build with build number 4.0 for version number 4.0. So I upped the version number in CodenameOne basic settings to 4.01 and resubmitted. This time no error returned, at least I did not get a rejection e-mail from Apple this time.

However the build never showed app in App Connect. I logged out, logged in again, nothing. Is it because I created a new version 4.00 and it is now 4.01? I searched on the above error and found a posting here suggesting using iTunes Connect to reject the binary and then resubmit it. I could not find any way to reject the binary in the new App Connect. Do you know if there is a way?

Bottom line is I really want my app to appear in the app store as 4.00, not 4.whatever when I finally get a clean submission. Is there any way to do this? Can I still release 4.00 somehow, i.e. change the build number without changing the version number?

Thanks

P.S. Why is CondenameOne->CodenameOne settings so slow lately, It takes 15-20 seconds for the window to open in NetBeans? Every time I try and open there is this delay.

Can you include a couple of screenshots of what you see in itunes connect?

During the review process you can't touch some things there.

It's possible the recent changes we had to make for JDK 9-10-11 support caused a slowdown. I'd like to know why it's so slow too.

It did eventually show up. I haven't submitted to the app store for a while. iTunes Connect seems to have disappeared, I was using something called App Connect. It used to be that when you uploaded from x-code the build appeared immediately in my account and I could submit it for review. That doesn't seem to be the way it works anymore. I eventually got an e-mail from Apple about 10 hours after the upload telling me that the build was there and I could submit it for review.

So it did make it, I just need more patience:-)

It will still appear to the user as 4.00 which is what was hoping for.

One strange thing though. I updated the version to 4.01, I just double checked that, it is 4.01. Yet in the Apple e-mail confirming the upload they referred to it as 4.1. I don't know if that is Apple or CodenameOne.

Thanks

Not sure. Versioning is a huge pain in iOS and Android.
