Hi folks,

The version of the app on the App Store is 1.0, and if I upload a new build in TestFlight with version 2.0. I am forced to upload a build with a version greater than 2.0 (I want the version to be 1.1), when uploading a new build for non-TestFlight AppStore review.

Expiring the Testflight build doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas on how I can submit with version 1.1 even though TestFlight build is at 2.0?

Thanks,

Boost

Version #s are for the store. Build #s are for TestFlight. One doesn't force the other. Don't confuse them.

Confirm you're using them correctly via TN2420 https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2420/_index.html

Good luck.

Four years later, I would also like an answer to this. We want to be able to put future releases into TestFlight w/o messing up our actual release version number.
