How do I validate an exported .ipa file from Xcode?

[neil s]

I am following the directions to publish the app, but the steps in 6.2 are vague. I was able to export the iOS .ipa file, but I can't validate it. I opened Xcode and went to product - archives but it's greyed out. Are there more specific directions somewhere?

Hi Neil,

What document do you follow? This one? http://docs.appery.io/documentation/e...

To build an app in xCode, you need to export it as a "source code" for xCode project.

For Submission you must use Distribution certificate.

You can open your provision profile and find key "application-identifier" with value. In should have value "xxx.com.yyy." where com.yyy is bundle id.
Or you can find it in you apple developer account:
