Hi all — this is genuinely urgent for us and I'd really
appreciate any help. We've been fully blocked from shipping
updates for almost two weeks, and Feedback Assistant has
been completely silent. Posting here as a last resort to
get the issue in front of someone who can route it.
Our app (1.0.0 live on App Store, CN region) has a version record
stuck in a broken backend state since April 9. Every recovery
path fails at the Apple backend layer.
Version record ID: 00ae0692-f94d-4632-a369-a9b230788330
Case: #102865399563
Symptoms via ASC web UI:
Version shows "Prepare for Submission"
Save fails with red error icon, no message shown
DevTools Network shows: 409 ENTITY_ERROR.RELATIONSHIP.INVALID
on /data/relationships/build
"+" button to create next version is hidden while this
record is in "Prepare for Submission" state
Symptoms via ASC API (all paths tried, all 409):
DELETE /v1/appStoreVersions/{id}
→ 409 STATE_ERROR "Only the first version of any platform
can be deleted"
PATCH /v1/appStoreVersions/{id}/relationships/build
with 4 different valid builds (71 / 73 / 74 / 78)
→ 409 ENTITY_ERROR.RELATIONSHIP.INVALID on each
PATCH with null (clear relationship) → 204 success
PATCH to re-set relationship after clear → 409 again
GET confirms versionString is still "1.0.3" in backend
even though UI shows "1.0.4" after a rename attempt
What we need:
Either (a) Apple engineering resets this version record, or
(b) official guidance that we can abandon it and create 1.0.5
(the "+" button is currently hidden, so this path is blocked
from our side too).
All builds (71, 73, 74, 78) are VALID in TestFlight.
The blocker is purely the broken backend state on this
version record — not our builds, not our code.
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to read this
or help route it. If any Apple engineer here can escalate
Case #102865399563 to the right team, it would mean a lot —
we've done everything we can from our side and are just
stuck waiting. Any advice from fellow developers who've
seen similar 409 issues would also be hugely appreciated.
Thanks again 🙏
