App Store Deployment --- ARGH!

I think this is the one phase of development that needs a clear step-by-step somewhere on the site.

For a company (Apple) that strives to make things easy, they sure seem intent on making developing for the iPhone as complicated as it can possibly be.

I’ve built my app, it runs fine on my device, so I’m satisfied that it’s ready for the AppStore.

So I “Build for iOS” and then I’m told it’s good to go to the AppStore. So I start the process and I get the following errors:

  1. Users//Desktop/.app is not a valid location for the app. It must be at the top level of the archive.

    2. The CodeResources file must be a symbolic link to _CodeSignature/CodeResources. Make certain that the bundle is on a locally-mounted volume (not a re… (the rest is cut off)

    3. Application failed codesign verification. The signature was invalid, or it was not signed with an Apple submission certificate.
    I tried to take care of #1 by moving the app to the root of my hard drive, but that didn’t work…not that I expected to. But I don’t really get what it’s complaining about here. If it wanted the app to be in a certain place, why didn’t it just put it there???

    #2 and #3 have me completely stymied.

    Relevant links/info would be greatly appreciated!

Whoops, the formatting erased my text on #1, should have read
