I want to remove app temporarily from Apple app store. In the App Store (formerly iTunes) Connect dashboard under pricing and availability there is an option "Remove from sale". Will this remove the app completely ?

I want just to unpublish it for couple of weeks then return it back. If it does so, when I return it back available for sale, will it go again under review ? (same version no new binary).

In the iTunes Connect's > Pricing and Availability section you can easily switch between

  • Available in all territories or Availability regions (0 of 175 countries or regions)
  • Remove from sale

After selecting the right one you can just hit the Save button. It will not be removed or added immediately, it takes some time to change state in the AppStore.
