Can you have multiple releases ready for release

Hello,


We have a release in our Itunes connect that has status of "Ready for Release". Before we move this version to production we would like to submit a next hotfix version for review.


Due to weekend timelines (we do not want to push our current ready for release version before the weekend), we wanted to wait until after the weekend to release that version.


In the meantime, we have a hotfix release that we would like to have Apple review, before we release the current ready for release. If our hotfix was approved, we would then release each in succession.


Is this possible?


Thanks!

Devs can only have one version (a) in the store at one time. That status is always separate from the next update (b), as long as that update is 'pending developer release'. You can't have two updates waiting for dev release, if that's what you're asking. 'b' needs to go into the store before it can be replaced*.

*As for your 'hot fix' (c), I wouldn't count those chickens until App Review blesses their hatching.


Next time, slow your roll so you don't have these type of hurdles.


Good luck.
