Keep Your iTunes Connect User Information Current

When you assign roles to people on your development team or company in iTunes Connect, you are providing them with access to valuable information. Depending on the role you’ve assigned them (i.e., Admin, Technical, or Finance), these users can view and manage details about your applications or view your revenue and sales history. So if a member of your development team or company leaves, it’s important to remove or change their access in iTunes Connect. You can make changes to user roles in iTunes Connect at anytime by visiting the Manage Users module and making the appropriate changes. To learn more about user roles in iTunes Connect, view the Manage Users section of the iTunes Connect Developer Guide .

App Store Tip: Specify the Devices Your App Runs on Using the Info.plist File

The App Store requires that you provide metadata about your application before submitting it. While most of this metadata is specified using the iPhone Developer Program Portal, the process for selecting device-related dependencies in iTunes Connect is no longer available. Instead, if your app relies on features that are specific to a device, such as the compass on iPhone 3GS, add the UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key to your app’s Info.plist file to indicate the specific hardware feature required. The UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key in your app’s Info.plist file tells iPhone OS that your app can only be launched on a device with specific features and provides the App Store with a list of device requirements so users don’t download applications that they cannot run. To learn more about assigning required capabilities for your apps, read the Device Support section of the iPhone Applications Programming Guide . Read more app submission tips
