how to change version number of an App from iTunesConnect with state Prepare for Submission
You can update the version name in a version field in the General App Information area. Screenshot is as below
I have the same problem before.
My solution:
- Submit the IPA first, status will be changed to "Waiting for Review";
- Press the red button "Reject the binary" in iTunes Connect, status will be changed to "Developer Rejected";
- Restart the process again.
UPDATE As of 2015, iTunes Connect has updated, allowing users to change version number without uploading any binary.
Go to iTunes --> App store --> iOS App at left side --> Prepare for submission --> General App Information --> Version
