I have an approved App in iTunes Connect which is not yet released (release date set to December 20th).
I decided to change a few things so I submitted an update, now this update has been approved as well and is “Pending Developer Release”.
If I release the update now will the app become visible on the App Store, even though the release date under “rights and pricing” is set to December 20th?
It won’t go live until the 20th December. ‘Pending Developer Release’ is just a staging area until you approve that it’s OK to override the original release.
