How to publish your first iPhone app
Published 11/7/2011 9:20 PM by Toran Billups 1 Comments
When I finished my first iPhone app earlier this year, I just assumed the hard part was over. But it turns out learning objective-c wasn’t the worst part of my transition to the iOS development eco-system. The most difficult part was figuring out the crazy certificate/provisioning profile madness that had me ready to throw in the towel.
I actually phoned a good friend for help the first time around just so I could get my product into the app store. But recently I had to pave my workstation and re-install OSX from scratch. After doing so I realized I would have to go through this painful setup again, so instead of the guess work I did last time around I decided to record it so I could share the actual steps required with others who might be struggling to publish an iPhone app for the first time.
If I skipped anything that should be covered in more depth please shoot me an email or leave a comment. I hope this helps guide someone else through the nightmare that plagues all new iOS developers (at least this one anyway).
Thanks. Toran for this tutorial. I haven't tried your steps yet, but i can see there are some steps I missed from my previous attempts. I almost gave up too, but I rarely give up on something and I've spent too much time with Objective C to give up. Thanks for bringing my interest back. I will be trying again soon.
