I did a very very stupid thing.

I was uploading an update to my app on itunesconnect, but typed in the wrong version number. The version number I typed (1.02) was smaller than the one that's already up there (1.1). Apple accepted the submission, and planned to upload binary later. Went to upload the binary (also 1.02), but only AFTER uploading did Apple inform me that it can't accept my binary because it's a smaller number than the current version.

BUT I CAN'T CHANGE THE VERSION NUMBER IN THE SUBMISSION FORM.

AND I CAN'T CANCEL THE UPDATE.

[string of profanity symbols]

So now, Apple is waiting for an update that it will never accept.

Surely I'm not the only dope who's done this. I've written to the Contact Us form, but is there anything else I can do? Anyone else had to deal with this, if so, how long did it take to sort out?

Thanks for anything on this, even if it's just moral support, -k.

Maybe a weird idea, but what if you were to lower the version on you binary and submit it? :)

No, the problem's not with matching the binary to the submission, it's that the submission form accepted (and cemented) a version number that they won't accept in the upload file. If the version numbers don't match, it's a fail, but if the version number is too low (even though it's the same as the previously accepted submission) it's also a fail. And you can't cancel the update. Catch 22. Thanks though.

Ah, wasn't sure about the latter. But yeah, seems you have to wait for someone from the support to handle your issue :)Hope it won't take too long for ya, good luck!
