Hi,
I’m totally new to ios development and I’m trying to build my app to use it with app store connect.
I think that I should get a zip file after building but I only get the “app”.
Did I do anything wrong?
Thanks in advance for your replies
Should I use a production certificate instead of development?.
Nope, you did nothing wrong. You will get an app that you can install on your testing devices. Why do you want to get a zip? If you want to submit it to the apple store then build with the prod certificate and upload it using the Application Loader tool.
The Corona build dialog will build the right type of file for what you need. If you use a distribution profile and choose “Send to App Store” then Corona will create a .ipa file suitable for Application Loader to use to upload to the App Store. If you use a developer profile or one of the other options, you will end up with a .app file suitable for using Xcode to sideload on to a tethered device.

That is exactly what I wanted to know.
