Can I skip version number of iPhone app in iTunes Connect and Xcode?

Question

I have an app whose version number is 1.0.0 and which is already available on the App Store.

Can I set the version number of the next version of the app to 3.0.0 or 4.0.0 instead of 2.0.0?
Will I get a problem if version numbers are not sequential?

Is there a official documentation about this or do you know apps which use non-sequential version numbers or apps whose initial version starts from a number greater than 1?

Answer 1

Apple does not have any restrictions on this. The only rule is that the version and build numbers must be greater than the current version when submitting an update. You can increment it however you want.

From my own experience, I have launched apps with initial version numbers greater than 1, and I have also updated them while skipping version numbers.

More information on updating your app(s) can be found on this Apple Developer page .
