Submitting your app to the App Store is a multistep process involving several tools. First, create a distribution provisioning profile using iOS Provisioning Portal. Then create an archive, validate it, and submit it to the App Store using Xcode. When your app is approved, set the date the app will be available to customers using iTunes Connect. Finally, don’t forget to respond to user issues after you ship your first version. Before You Begin Before starting, you should have a distribution certificate and the status of your iTunes Connect app record should be “Waiting for Upload” or later, as described in  “Creating Your App Record in iTunes Connect.” Now, create a distribution provisioning profile using the iOS Provisioning Portal. Create a Distribution Provisioning Profile When the app is ready for publication, you create a distribution provisioning profile by selecting App Store as the method of distribution. The steps are similar to creating an ad hoc provisioning pr...

When an app is sold in the App Store, the store displays a lot of information about the app, including its name, a description, an icon, screenshots, and contact information for your company. To provide that information, you log in to iTunes Connect, create a record for the app, and complete some forms. In this chapter you learn how to go through this process. Note:  Normally, you create your iTunes Connect app record late in the development process because there’s a time limit from when you create the record to when you must submit your app. However, some Apple technologies, including Game Center and In-App Purchase, require that an iTunes Connect record to be created earlier. For example, with In-App Purchase, you need to create the app record so that you can add the details of the items you want to sell. This content needs to be created before the development process is complete so that you can use it to test the code you added to implement In-App Purchase. Before You Beg...

Before an app can be distributed, your team must have a valid distribution certificate linked to a distribution provisioning profile. Only team admins can create or install a distribution certificate. Each team can have only one active distribution certificate. The team admin can either use Xcode to create a distribution certificate or manually request and download one from iOS Provisioning Portal. A team’s distribution certificate allows a developer to build an app for distribution. If your team wants to use another Mac to create a distribution build, you need to transfer a copy of the distribution certificate as described in,  “Safeguarding and Transferring Your Signing and Provisioning Assets”  in  Tools Workflow Guide for iOS . Using Xcode to Create a Distribution Certificate You should use Xcode to create your distribution certificate. Xcode creates, downloads, and installs a development certificate, distribution certificate, and the iOS Team Provisioning Pro...
