RussianQuestion
Does anyone know if Apple would send me the binaries for our published app upon request? (I thought I would ask on here so to save me potentially wasting a support ticket with Apple.)
The situation is that we need to update our App Store screenshots but don't have access to the source code or binaries at the moment. (It is Apple's requirement that we resubmit the binaries in order to update the screenshots).
Solution
If you have access to the machine from which the binary was submitted, open the Organizer window in Xcode and click on Archives. Here you can see a list of all of the .ipa archives generated by Xcode on that machine. A binary that was uploaded to iTunes Connect will have the word "Submitted" in the status column. The most recent Submitted archive for that app is likely your current store build.
However, you cannot upload the same binary twice due to the restriction that the build number must be incremented by at least one for every new submission. This means that you will need to produce a new binary with an incremented build and version number if you want to make a new iTunes Connect submission and change your screen shots.
