Submitting App to Apple Store - Advice Please.

edited November -1 in iPhone and Android Publishing
I have tested my app and am now ready to move on to the net stage and submit to the Apple store.

The link here about submitting does not appear to be very detailed:
http://gamesalad.com/wiki/developing_for_iphone:submitting_to_appstore

So far I have been building the app and testing on my iphone with the app provision certificate.

1. Do I need to produce anymore certificates to submit to the App store?
2. the wiki notes mention about uploading a zip - do I simply zip my app?

Is there anything else that I need to do or be aware of?

    In the iPhone Developer Portal which you can access by logging into the iPhone Dev Centre you need to create a Distribution Provisioning Profile for your game just like your development one you test with and install it.

    As for zipping, its as simple it seems. While submitting you will be asked to upload your binary, yep just zip the app. (Not the GameSalad file of course but the iPhone app you make when publishing to the iPhone.)

    So can I use the app that I have created via game salad with the development certificate or do I need to create a distribution certificate and then recreate the app with GS again?

    Yep you need to re-create it with a distribution AppStore in GameSalad.

    okay thanks - can I still use the same APP ID or do I need to create a new one of those as well?

    Hmm my memory is a little murky but I believe I made a new one to go with the distribution profile. I would just to be safe and avoid any issues in the submission process.

    By the looks of it, you do re-use your AppID for a given app with both your development and your distribution profiles (i.e when creating either, select the one AppID).

    I've only just now published to my devices. However, I did build the distribution profile just to test and it looks like I can use the same AppID.

    Someone correct me if I am wrong!?

    Yes, you can have a development profile and a distribution profile that share an AppID.
