iOS Question Req.: Publishing app tutorial/guide

[sorex]

Hello,

Does anyone made a guide of screenshots on how to publish an app in the dev. account?

When I log in and go to My Apps all I see is a + sign, when I click on it nothing happends?
(tried on 2 different computer but both with FireFox tho)

Do I also need to create other certificates or is the one used during development already a good one to create the final app?

 

[sorex]

got a step further now, the + didn't work because I had to agree to some policy changes.

You do need to use a different certificate and provision file (distribution / app store). See this tutorial: Managing multiple certificates / provision files

thanks for the link but I don't understand how this practically works.

I currently have a wildcard dev. certificate & provisioning file like com.sorex.*

If I create a new one for publishing can I use again com.sorex.* or does it needs to be forced to the appname like com.sorex.test ?

And what if I make changes in the source and run in debug mode do I need to change the lines you mentioned in the link all the time from dev to publish cert or back?

Unless you are using push notifications or in app purchasing you can use a wildcard app id.

You can use conditional compilation to switch the keys automatically in release mode:

#If RELEASE
   #CertificateFile: ios_distribution.cer
   #ProvisionFile: store.mobileprovision   
#END IF

thanks, Erel.

I added it but now it nags that there are multiple keys.

I guess I should add an #if for the debug mode aswell?

is this the correct syntax?

#If DEBUG
   #CertificateFile: ios_development.cer
   #ProvisionFile: Development.mobileprovision
#END IF

the code is still colored unlike the release one which is gray.

Yes.
