The process is mostly self-explanatory if you visit itunesconnect.apple.com and click "Manage Your Applications." However, there's a useful guide from Apple here (must login to access): http://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/iTunesConnect_DeveloperGuide.pdf
Once you've set up your app, and your iOS app is fully-tested and ready to submit, you'll need to log into iTunes Connect, Manage Your Applications, and indicate that your app is ready for submission so that the status becomes "Waiting for Upload." At this point, you should have created a distribution profile for your app in the iOS provisioning portal.
Steps for compiling and submitting the app:
- In Titanium Developer, navigate to <project> > Test & Package > Distribute >
...
- iPhone
- Select the iOS SDK version you'd like to
...
- target
- Select your distribution certificate (if it doesn't show up, try re-downloading from the iOS provisioning portal, or set it up if it hasn't been set up yet).
- Select a distribution location. For example, a folder called "release" in your project folder.
- Select the distribution provisioning profile. You MUST select the distribution profile that's been associated with the app you're submitting.
- Click "Package"
When the process in Titanium is done, it will automatically open Xcode Organizer, focused on the app that was just packaged.
In Xcode, to complete the final submission of the app:
- Select the most recent archive (the packaged version of your app) from the list on the right-hand side.
- Click the "Validate" button in the top right part of the window.
- You'll be prompted to select the profile to use for validation.If validation passes, click the "Submit" button to upload your app to the App Store.
- If upload succeeds, your app status will change to "Waiting for Review," until they start reviewing the app.
If you run into issues during this process, try copying whatever error message you see, and searching for it in the Titanium Developer Q&A site: http://developer.appcelerator.com/questions/
http://developer.appcelerator.com/questions/The amount of time it takes to review apps is unpredictable, but can take anywhere from a week upwards. Make sure to allow time for multiple review rounds for your release, in case the app is rejected the first time.
