The company I work for created an app, we uploaded it to the app and it was rejected for some Metadata. No big deal really, except that management then decided to build a new version of the app and had us delete the one submitted.

So when I go to add a new app, the same app, just a new version I get the error

  • The Bundle ID you entered has already been used.
  • The App Name you entered has already been used.

Can we undelete the other app and somehow replace it, or do we just have to wait (how long?) to upload the new one using the same Bundle ID and App Name?

The answer is to create a new bundleID, update your app, and submit a new app with a slightly chanced name to Apple. No other options as far as I have seen.
