iTunes Connect Upload: which files to upload

Question

I've added my iOS app to iTunes Connect and is currently trying to upload the binary using Application Loader. In the iTunes Connect Developer Guide is seems that they are uploading a zip file. Should I just make a zip of my complete project or what are they excepting?

Answer 1

You should upload the binary through Xcode.

It's a good idea to do a clean build first (Clean All Targets), and I usually delete my Build/ directory as well. Then do Build/Build and Archive. Make sure you have a device connected when you do this, and that the app is not in debug mode. Then open the Xcode organizer and select the binary to upload. That's all there is to it. You do not have to zip the files manually.

Here is step by step procedure to submit directly from xcode,

Just goto edit scheme > Archive > select Release. Change your profiles to distribution (ios app store). Select ios Device. Goto Product> Archive

After completion goto Organizer

Select the Archive and click Distribute Select Submit to iOS AppStore Login Select app, it will be showing app that has ready for upload status Select profile. Here you go.

Cheers
