What do I need in order to publish my application on App Store under my Apple Developer Account?
Besides having an Apple developer account, you must know you’ll need a Mac so you can publish your application on App Store.
Once your application’s finished, from the services’ interface of Mobincube, you should access the option of publishing applications iOS from your own account. With this option you can get your application signed with your own iOS certificate.
For that, you need to fill in:
- App name: Application name shown on the AppStore.
- Bundle indentifier: Unique identifier of the application. It has usually as the com.apple.someapplication format. It must be the same.
- Bundle version: Version number that will be seen on the AppStore.
The Bundle will be generated with this information, so they must be correct to avoid publishing problems.
Distribution certificate
To sign the applications with your distribution certificate you must export it from your ‘Keychain Access’ application.
The process consists in:
1) Locate distribution certificate. Click the right button and “Export”
2) A password will be asked. You must send it to us along with the certificate to use it. Everything through a safe server.
3) A file with the extension .p12 will be created, that along with the password you’ve used will be useful to sign your application.
Distribution Profile
The distribution profile is generated and downloaded from the ‘Provisioning Portal’. On this section you’ll find ‘Distribution’. From this screen will be possible to add or download the distribution profile needed to finish the signing process of your application.
Once sent, you’ll get a .zip with the application bundle. You’ll use it from de ‘Application Loader’ to upload it and finish the upload process on the AppStore.
