Application Loader ERROR ITMS-90062: The value for key CFBundleShortVersionString must contain a higher version

Question

I am trying to upload an update for an app on App Store using Application Loader. I am getting the following error.

ERROR ITMS-90062: "This bundle is invalid. The value for key CFBundleShortVersionString [1.0.0] in the Info.plist file must contain a higher version than that of the previously approved version [1.0.0]."

I thought the CFBundleShortVersionString was allowed to remain the same, but the build number (or "Bundle Version/CFBundleVersion"), should increment on each build.

Is this because the version label (CFBundleShortVersionString) has to increment on each approved version? Meaning bug fix updates and such needs to bump the version label displayed in the App Store?

Please check here :#4933593 – Clynes

Thanks but my question relates to the CFBundleShortVersionString needing to be updated as stated by "Application Loader", not the CFBundleVersion (which I have bumped up, and I am using integers for build versions, so any wierd zero-stripping done by Apple should not apply). – Simplehearted

can you show your previous bundle version – Dogcart

The currently approved app is version 1.0.0, build 5, iTunes Connect labels it as:1.0.0 (5). The version I am trying to upload is labeled in the organizer (by xcode) as 1.0.0 (7). – Simplehearted

Answer 1

You don't need to change the CFBundleShortVersionString, the issue here is that your app is already approved, and it is in "Pending Developer Release" state. Remove your app through "cancel this release" and try to upload again. It should work.

Sorry where cancel this release in xcode or itunes connect? – Humanism

Answer 2

I had this problem when I tried to upload new version to my app. I did it with Expo. In app.json, it is necessary to upgrade in two areas.

-"version": "1.0.1", -"buildNumber": "1.0.1"

and I wrote version 1.0.1 on the app store.
