Steps to upload an iPhone application to the AppStore

Question

I want to know the basic steps for uploading my iPhone application to AppStore.

How do I make a provisioning profile using a certificate and what other settings do I need to do to upload an application?

I have just made an application on my iMac using Xcode and the iPhone SDK V2.2.1. What do I need to do for uploading it on the Apple iTunes store?

I am member of that and I have also a distribution certificate.

Apple provides detailed  illustrated instructions covering every step of the process   Log in to the iPhone developer site and click the  program portal  link   In the program portal you ll find a link to the program portal user s guide  which is a really good reference and guide on this topic

This arstechnica article describes the basic steps      Start by visiting the program portal   and make sure that your developer   certificate is up to date  It expires   every six months and  if you haven t   requested that a new one be issued    you cannot submit software to App   Store  For most people experiencing   the  pink upload of doom   though    their certificates are already valid    What next       Open your Xcode project and check that   you ve set the active SDK to one of   the device choices  like Device - 2 2    Accidentally leaving the build   settings to Simulator can be a big   reason for the pink rejection  And   that happens more often than many   developers would care to admit       Next  make sure that you ve chosen a   build configuration that uses your   distribution  not your developer    certificate  Check this by   double-clicking on your target in the   Groups  amp  Files column on the left of   the project window  The Target Info   window will open  Click the Build tab   and review your Code Signing Identity    It should be iPhone Distribution    followed by your name or company name       You may also want to confirm your   application identifier in the   Properties tab  Most likely  you ll   have set the identifier properly when   debugging with your developer   certificate  but it never hurts to   check       The top-left of your project window   also confirms your settings and   configuration  It should read   something like  Device - 2 2     Distribution   This shows you the   active SDK and configuration       If your settings are correct but you   still aren t getting that upload   finished properly  clean your builds    Choose Build   Clean  Command-Shift-K    and click Clean  Alternatively  you   can manually trash the build folder in   your Project from Finder  Once you ve   cleaned  build again fresh       If this does not produce an app that   when zipped properly loads to iTunes   Connect  quit and relaunch Xcode  I m   not kidding  This one simple trick   solves more signing problems and  pink   rejections of doom  than any other   solution already mentioned

Check that your singing identity IN YOUR TARGET properties is correct. This one over-rides what you have in your project properties.

Also: I dunno if this is true - but I wasn't getting emails detailing my binary rejections when I did the "ready for binary upload" from a PC - but I DID get an email when I did this on the MAC

Xcode 9

If this is your first time to submit an app, I recommend going ahead and reading through the full Apple iTunes Connect documentation or reading one of the following tutorials:

However, those materials are cumbersome when you just want a quick reminder of the steps. My answer to that is below:

Step 1: Create a new app in iTunes Connect

Sign in to iTunes Connect and go to My Apps. Then click the "+" button and choose New App.

enter image description here

Then fill out the basic information for a new app. The app bundle id needs to be the same as the one you are using in your Xcode project. There is probably a better was to name the SKU, but I've never needed it and I just use the bundle id.

Click Create and then go on to Step 2.

Step 2: Archive your app in Xcode

Choose the Generic iOS Device from the active scheme menu.

Then go to Product > Archive.

You may have to wait a little while for Xcode to finish archiving your project. After that you will be shown a dialog with your archived project. You can select Upload to the App Store... and follow the prompts.

I sometimes have to repeat this step a few times because I forgot to include something. Besides the upload wait, it isn't a big deal. Just keep doing it until you don't get any more errors.

Step 3: Finish filling out the iTunes Connect info

Back in iTunes Connect you will need to complete all the required information and resources.

enter image description here

Just go through all the menu options and make sure that you have everything entered that needs to be.

Step 4: Submit

In iTunes Connect, under your app's Prepare for Submission section, click Submit for Review. That's it. Give it about a week to be accepted (or rejected), but it might be faster.
