How To Submit Our Application In AppStore Of Apple Devices
Hi I am Fatha here and in this blog I will show you how easy it is to upload your app to the App Store.
First of all we will test how to upload your build to App Store Connect so without further ado let's get started!
Great! Now make sure that you do have an app that you want to upload to the App Store and in this blog as I have mentioned in just a seconds ago I will show you how you can upload a build to App Store Connect. Now why what is the difference? The main difference is that uploading a beer to App Store Connect is a part of uploading your app to the App Store it is well taking a build that you have created from your project and sending it to the specified place on the App Store Connect that you have also created there.
What to know before we upload? First of all you need to have a Bundle Identifier and that needs to be registered in App Store Connect well it needs to be registered in the developer portal of your developer account. Let's check that out, if that is like so. Let's open up our browser here and let's go to developer.apple.com. Okay, and now let's go to account let's sign in and select Certificates Identifiers and Profiles. Okay, here we go and now let's take a look if your ARSlingMaster is inside your app IDs. Okay, select app IDs and then search for ARSlingMaster. If you can see there isn't any so what I usually do here is go to your Xcode and select Capabilities and enable than disable any of these capabilities. I usually do it with in-app purchases. Let's go there and let's turn that off again and in just a few minutes this should be updated in your Developer Portal. Let's search for that again maybe you have a luck. It should be like this com.Rebeloper.ARSlingMaster is now a registered.
Great! Now what you need to do next is to go back to your account and this time select App Store Connect. Let's go to App Store Connect great! Now that you have our app ID in the Developer Portal we may create a new app. Go ahead and click on My Apps and then at the top left corner go ahead and click on the + button and select New App. Ok this will load select iOS and I will name this for now I will name this ARSlingMaster. Okay, let's choose our language English (U.S.). Bundle ID and now let's select it. Here we go ARSlingMaster. SKU I usually use SKU as the name without of course spaces. User Access I want to have full access, Okay, let's click on create and here we are. Now let's wait for it to load and we are ready for your upload. Great that is the work that you need to do before you actually upload. All of our uploads will be available under our Activity tab. Of course now there isn't any. Let's go back to Xcode and select your app. One last thing before we upload I want to mention is that you must have an app icon. Go ahead and make sure that in your Assets folder there is an app icon. I will use this standard Apple one for now because we are uploading and you haven't guessed it by now but I will show you in the blog and that we are going to create a simple test flight. I will show you how easy it is to share your test flight apps your test apps with anybody. Don't need to have anything set up with users and so on with emails. It has been simplified by ten-folds. Getting back to our business of this Blog let's take a look at how we upload it.
So again we need our Bundle Identifier registered and we need a version and a build number. Let's set this version to 1.0.0 and the Build number is 1 that is okay because we are uploading now to our 1.0.0 version. If we are uploading this version and we made some changes we want to bump up that build and upload that next one with let's say Build number 2 or 3. Make sure that you bump up the Build number because App Sore Connect will recognize it and will not approve your Build. So that's about versions and Build numbers.
How to upload? Okay, under your tab there select a Generic iOS Device. Okay, and then go to Product and Clean your build folder just make sure that everything is cleaned up. Next up go to again to Product and Archive. Okay! This will take a while according to your size of your project and it is building and it is creating all of our tasks. Okay, maybe I will fast forward this. Okay now that the archive has completed the organizer window should pop up for you. And as you can see here we have our version and our status. First of all what you want to do is maybe validate your app.
Let's go ahead and validate it. Of course you don't need to you can distribute your app straight away but I really like to do this step to check for anything, any errors that might occur. I will use this little wizard here and hopefully we will have everything validated. As of Xcode10 I have some issues and this was this really strange issue so I needed to delete after a few searches I have found out that I needed to delete all of my Provisioning Profiles they were conflicting with a Provisioning Profiles from App Store Connect. Let's just click on validate before I tell you what to do. So let's click on validate and I had to delete all of my Provisioning Profiles. And you can find all of your Provisioning Profiles under Library - Mobile Device and Provisioning Profile. Go ahead and delete all of them. Anyway if you are handling your Provisioning Profiles automatically by Xcode it doesn't really matter once you open up and want to send your archive then these are created automatically. Okay!
How can you go to your Library? If you open up Finder and select Go then you will in your case you more most probably not see this library but go ahead and click on alt and you will be having this toggled on for you. Okay now let's see how our validation is going and it is going quite well. And this can take a while again it depends on your project. Okay now that the validation is created we click on and Done. Great! Let's go ahead and distribute our app and that is what we wanted to do in the first place. Select iOS App Store because we want to upload it to the App Store. Select upload again and now it is fetching some data it is basically preparing a file that we want to upload. Select all of these 3 or leave them selected and I want to Automatically manage my signing click on next and now it is preparing its grading all of the data necessary for our .ipa file that will be uploaded to the App Store.
Okay now that we have all of this gathered let's click on Upload. Okay and now it is uploading. Again this might take a while for you and maybe I will just fast forward at this again it will basically go through everything that fetching data from the App Store Connect and basically uploading it to your App Store Connect app and I will just fast forward this. Okay now that we have uploaded our app to App Store Connect let's click on and Done and as you can see the status has changed to Uploaded. Let's just double check and go again to your App Store Connect account and select Activity and as you can see under version 1.0.0 we have a Build number 1. And it is Processing now this will take a while usually it takes about 15 minutes for me and we will get back to this soon when we are going to take a look at how you can create a Test Flight app and send it to your friends with only one link. So no Test Flight app instalment needed. They will have to install Test Flight app. No set up needed it's only one clickable link that you need to distribute to your friends. That is it for this blog!
Hope you enjoyed it, if you did go ahead and Follow for latest updates Now it's your turn! Have you ever had any issues with uploading your a build to the App Store? If you did go ahead and comment down below because I really want to hear your thoughts. And I want to know how you managed to solve your problem, if you actually did manage to solve that upload problem. Okay, I will see you in the next one!
