built for device now for app store

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I built for my device through Xcode like a week ago to work out the kinks. I made a provisioning profile and app id. Now I made my iTunes connect app where i named it and such and it is ‘waiting for upload’

So when I went back to build through CoronaI was expecting a ‘Upload to App Store’ icon. It didn’t show up. I named it the name in iTunes connect and tried the bundle id. Neither worked.

Also the ‘code signing identity’ only offered me one choice with my name and some numbers to choose from.

So if someone can tell me what I’m doing wrong it is most appreciated! [import]uid: 75779 topic_id: 27192 reply_id: 327192[/import]

Hey there,

Where were you expecting to see that icon? Have you tried launching Application Loader to upload via that?

RE code signing, did it specify distribution or development?

Hi, I was expecting the popup after you hit build for iOS. I am following along in the book ‘Corona sdk Mobile Game Development’ and right after you hit ‘build’ the regaluar popup that says either ‘show in finder’ or ‘done’ should now have an ‘upload to appstore’ button.

My code signing, it specified development… that may be it yes. How do I change that if that is the problem. it says iPhone developer, my name than some numbers, than it says (bunny) it is okay if it says (bunny) in code signing and the name of the game is ‘bunny the waiter’?

thank you! [import]uid: 75779 topic_id: 27192 reply_id: 110481[/import]

forgot to ask you also about application loader…? Maybe I can use this way instead? [import]uid: 75779 topic_id: 27192 reply_id: 110483[/import]

You need to create a “Distribution” profile, and use that profile to sign the app.

Once you have done that the pop up you mentioned will appear.

Also you will need to install “Application loader” which is available to download via itunesconnect [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 27192 reply_id: 110490[/import]

Thank you very much! I have created an iPhone Distribution Certificate, and have also made a distribution Provisioning Profile(similar to how i created development provisioning profile). I have also installed ‘application loader’ on my desktop.

However when I go to build in Corona under ‘Code Signing Identity’ it is still only giving me the option to click on ‘iPhone developer’. Their is no iPhone Distribution choice for me.

Please let me know what I am missing. Thank you.

Ok so you need to also download that provisioning profile to your mac, double click it to install it then close corona and re-open it and you should be able to select it [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 27192 reply_id: 110511[/import]
