Could you expand a little on this please? I'm not familiar with what the
developer will be presented with to upload a new version.

I assume you mean that they have a form that requires them to specify a
new version, and an upload form.

If that's the case then we can just store the file in click updown
associated with the (app id, version) pair.

We have a choice of rejecting or replacing if we already have a file for
the pair. I think we want to lean towards replacing, so that the
developer can have multiple goes at a new version before
publishing. However, if the upload form allows re-using a version then
it would allow developers to replace a published file, regardless of any
review process that we have. Is that ok?

Thanks,

James
