Keep existing api till update is approved.
Once app is updated , update the api on server.
If you have push notifications, fire a push notification saying the older apps will stop working and they need to update apps.

Alternatively create an update to 1.0.2 which has code created to block certain versions. Viz you can create a webservice which checks for db allowed app versions and block functionality of older versions.

I know they test the live apps. Is not they test the live apps feature ? Can I update only apps without live api ?

Not sure about how extensively updates are tested now. Alternatively you need to host both APIs and then sunset older api after app is approved.
