App Store release app detail process

Nothing to do with the application publishing process to write, I hope to be able to help some friends.

Development environment: Xcode6.1,yosemite

Before releasing your app, we need to know two URLs first:

https://itunesconnect.apple.com/

This site is a place to manage the apps you upload, as well as to see statistics such as how many people have downloaded the app, and, of course, to publish the app.

https://developer.apple.com/

This is the Apple Developer's website, where you can generate a debug certificate and publish a certificate through a developer account, and of course there are more useful places in the Member center.

After learning about the two sites, we first came to the Apple developer site to configure the publishing certificate.

First stage: Get the publishing certificate. (The purpose of this step is to have your Mac computer have permission to publish).

Open the Keychain Access app above your Mac and select Request a certificate from a certification authority.

Then choose to save to disk, this time will generate a request file, this step of the user mail/Common name is random fill in.

After you have chosen to save to disk, you will get a request file with the suffix named Certsigningrequest, and then come to the Apple Developer website and log in to your developer account (be sure to pay 99 knives/year or 299 knives/year accounts) and select Member Center (Member centre), then go to Certificates,identifiers & Profiles and select the type of app you want to upload, whether it's an iOS app or Mac app or Safari plugin, choose Certificaters, This is where we will come to this page, which is dedicated to configuring the certificate.

Select Certificates, we can select all, and then click the Plus button on the right to add a request file.

If you want to configure a publishing certificate, select the app Store and Ad Hoc under production, and the above development is used to configure the true Machine Debug Certificate. Then we choose the next step, then ignore the information that appears, continue to choose to continue continue, The page that appears will let you choose to upload a file, which is the request file we generated before, the request file upload click Continue to generate a certificate file named Ios_distribution.cer, save this file to the computer, and then double-click to install, The successful installation will show up in the keychain so that our Mac computers have the credentials to publish the application. The certificate is valid for one year, and the certificate is successful.

And then go back to the Apple Developer Center, when we just let the Mac computer have the ability to publish, but our Mac computer does not know which application to publish, come to our previous configuration Certificate of the page to choose the left identifiers.

Select the identifiers on the left and click the Plus button in the upper right corner and we come to this page

The above app description name is optional (not for Chinese characters), you can fill in the application name, the following two options explicit app ID and wildcard app ID generally select the following, and then enter a *, means we can publish any app, if you choose the above Bundleid to fill in the Bundleid of their own project (in their own project Info.plist file view), so we can only publish Bundleid for you to fill out the project, in order to make it easier later, We generally select the Wildcardapp ID below and then continue to the next step until the finished button appears.

One final step

Select provisioning Profiles then select the Plus button, choose the App Store and ad hoc as in the previous step, and then complete the continue, at which point we have configured the publish certificate.

Phase II: Come to Itunesconnect create an app and fill out the necessary information for the release.

Visit Itunesconnect Enter our developer account, then select My app, will come to this page, click the Plus button to create the app, the way to the application for my previous upload, you can see the status of the Apple audit.

On the page that appears, we add the basic information of the app

Name is to fill in our application name, note can not be the same as other applications in the market names, version fill in our project Info.plist file bundle version number, generally 1.0, the main language we choose Chinese, SKU is an application of the logo, with uniqueness, I usually at this time as a sign such as 201412201805, the package ID is bundleid (this translation I am also drunk), as long as we have configured the certificate after the click will pop up our previously configured information, in the right pop-up box to fill out the Bundleid of our application, Note that you must be completely consistent with the project Info.plist. Then select Create. On the next page we add some post information for the app:

Here you choose 4 inches and 3.5 inches and upload a few applications of information, it should be noted that the size of the 3.5-inch must be 960*480,4 inch for the 1136*480. and the picture name cannot be the Chinese character otherwise cannot upload, uploads succeeds after the right language choice simplifed Chinese is the resume Chinese.

Here to fill in the application of basic information, name, description, keywords, technical support site can fill out their company's official website, the following marketing URL Privacy policy can not write.

The page continues to drag, we need to upload an app icon, this icon is displayed in the store's image, the recommended size is 1024*1024, cannot contain rounded corners (the corner of the way is the apple for us to generate the effect), can not contain any layer, so it is possible to make the design jpg format picture, Version add bundle version, category Select your app in the store category, rating point after editing choose whether your app contains information such as horror pornography. Copyright fill in the name of your company, business representative information can be empty.

Continue down.

Here fill in the Application uploader information, I filled out of course is my own contact, if your own application has login function, you can fill out an account in the demo account for the Apple Audit personnel test, the right note can fill in the application of the introduction, as well as some you think the Apple auditors do not understand the place ( If your application is more professional).

Version release choosing to publish this release automatically means that the App Store is available for review and you can also set up manual publishing.

After filling out here we come to the top of the page and select pricing

Will come to the following page

If you want to pass the audit on the shelves, you can choose your day on the listing date, the price level to see your needs, my application free of charge so I chose to give, need to explain that Apple for China has provided 1 yuan and 3 yuan option.

Price level effective and end here can be used to do the limit, a lot of time-limited free time discount app is doing so.

After all this information has been filled out, only the last step is left, upload your project package. Come to Xcode to open your project. Enter Project Settings

In code sign, release select your previously configured publishing certificate, and then select Product----Archive, note that this time the device must choose the real machine or iOS device, otherwise it is unable to choose Archive.

Click on the archive package will jump out of the organizer interface, this time to see us with the release certificate and packaged applications, and then click Submit

Click Submit after the transfer will be the selection certificate, select our previously configured certificate.

Slowly wait for the upload audit completed, no unexpected words will appear next to submit success, this time we have succeeded 99%, the last step we came to Itunesconnect, submit audit can.

And then just wait for about a week's review to know the results. Attach Apple Review guidelines
