iOS online process

First, preface:

As a ioser, it is necessary to upload the app you have developed to the App Store. Here is a detailed explanation of the specific process steps.

Second, prepare:

1. A paid Developer account (account type is divided into individual (individual), companies, Enterprises (Enterprise), Universities (University) four types, the annual tariff is $ $, $ $, $299, free. ）。
2. A project that has been developed and completed.

Third, check:

1. Your Xcode must be the official version, and the beta version of Xcode is not able to upload the project.
2. The OS x system for the MAC you're uploading must also be a full version, and the beta version won't work.
3. Please make sure that the Xcode you install is downloaded from the App Store or the developer's website, not from the installation package obtained from other sources, because the unofficial download of Xcode may have a xcodeghost virus. How to check?

      Note: A developer account can only be created (1-2 Development (test) certificates, 2-3 production (release) certificates), if your app Store Ad Hoc front button can not be selected, then the representative of your account can no longer create a new production certificate.
      Workaround:

      1. Generate the. p12 file from the person who used the account together and import your own computer. (Try not to perform the 2nd step below)
      2. If you want to generate the words, delete the existing one (the recommended deletion time compared to the previous). Note: If you delete a certificate, the person who is using the certificate will no longer be able to use it, unless you regenerate it and then use the. P12 to re-import your computer!
         Note: If you want to remove the certificate, perform the following steps, otherwise skip.
