How to delete an app from iTunesConnect App Store Connect

Question

I submitted a brand new app to AppStore and it got rejected by the Lords      nothing new there   What I want to do is delete that app completely from my itunesconnect account  I don t know what apple recently changed but in the past once the app was rejected I use to see a  delete  button on the summary page  Now I don t see one anymore    I even checked Apple official documentation HERE and that too says that I should be able to delete it from appstore using delete button as long as the app is in reject state but the delete button is no where to be found   I already tried removing it from all territories under  rights  amp  pricing  and availability date is in the past Jan 22nd  2014     still no delete button is visible   How can I remove it   Note  there were no in-app purchases or game center

Here s the answer to my question I got back from Apple support   Hi XXX  I am following up with you about the deletion of your app     XXX     Recent changes have been made to the App Delete feature  In order to delete your app from iTunes Connect  you must now have one approved version before the delete button becomes available  For more information on the recent changes  please see the  quot Deleting an App quot  section of the iTunes Connect Guide  page 96-97    You can only delete an app from the App Store if it was previously approved  meaning has one approved version   From iTunes Connect Developer Guide - Transferring and Deleting Apps   Apps that have not been approved yet can   t be deleted  instead  reject the app   As of 2016  new changes have been made to iTunes Connect  Here are the screenshots of deleting an approved app from your account

As the instructions state on the iTuneconnect Developer Guidelines you need to ensure that you are the  team agent  to delete apps  This is stated in the quote below from the developer guidelines      If the Delete App button isn   t displayed  check that you   re the team agent and that the app is in one of the statuses that allow the app to be deleted    I have just checked on my account by logging in as the main account holder and the delete button is there for an app that I have previously removed from sale but when I have looked in as another user they don t have this permission  only the main account holder seems to have it

Edit December 2018  Apple seem to have finally added a button for removing the app in certain situations  including apps that never went on sale  thanks to  iwill for pointing that out   basically making the below answer irrelevant   Edit  turns out the deleted apps still appear in Xcode -  Organizer -  Archives and there is no way to delete them from there even if there are no archives  So more looks like a fake delete of sorts     Currently  Edit  as of July 2016  there is no way of deleting your app if it never went on sale   However  all information except for SKU can be edited and thus reused for a new app  including the app name  Bundle ID  icon  etc etc  Because SKU can be anything  some people say they use numbers 1  2  3 for example  then it shouldn t be a big deal to use something unrelated for your new app    Honestly though I m hoping Apple will fix this soon  I almost hear some Apple devs finding excuses for not implementing it  you know  it will break the database and will kill innocent pandas  and some managers telling the devs to just frigging do it regardless
