I've submitted an app that's approved for pre-order and want to submit a new build to update the existing build.
But, when I try to upload this build, I get the error: "the Info.plist file must contrain a higher build version than the previously approved version [1.0]". This makes sense, and usually, I'd reject the current build and reupload.
But, for pre-orders, I can't see a way to do this. The only thing I can see is to remove it from sale. But, I don't want to do that. I just want to replace the build? Is this possible? And if not, what will happen to the users who have already pre-ordered the app?
Thanks for any help.

That app is essentially 'in the store'.
My opinion is that you'll need to stick to the playbook and push an update. Sit on your hands and don't get creative.
Pre-Order Ready for Sale | Apple has approved the app version and made it available for pre-order on the App Store. When the app is in this state you can: |
Create a new version
When you’re ready to distribute a new version of your app, you create a version using the same app record you created for the original version. The new version will be available free to customers who purchased a previous version. You can only create a new version if the current version status is Ready for Sale or Developer Removed from Sale.
