I'm curious if anyone has built an .IPA and then uploaded it to the App store using the Application Loader, and not xCode. It seems it would be impossible from what I've learned to this point. But if it is possible I would love to hear that it can actually be done.

Most specifically
(1) how you got the proper icons bundled in the IPA and,
(2) how you overcame issues with Architecture errors (armv6 / armv7 missing).

Thanks!

Hello,

Are you getting any errors when you try to submit app using Application Loader?

Application Loader: https://developer.apple.com/library/m...

I haven't yet figured it out with Application Loader, but I figured it out, in a basic sense with xCode. As of this date, one must use xCode 4.5. After that there are two things you have to do before archiving, which will then allow the upload to the apple store.

(1) Go to Product Edit Scheme. Set Destination, located in the header of the pop-up, to iOS device. Click Ok.

(2) Click on your project and then go to Build Settings. Make sure that in Code Signing, for Release, you have selected iPhone Distribution (for Release and for Any iOS SDK under Release). You must have the Distribution Certificate already in place for this to work.

(3) Go to Product and select Archive. This will create the file that you will upload.

(4) Hopefully you have a successful build with no errors.

(5) You should then be able to upload to the App Store.

May the force be with you.

Thank you for sharing your solution!

As of today it looks like you will need xCode 5. Apps built/archived with the SDK (6.0) used in xCode 4.5 are no longer being accepted by apple, as far as I can tell. I had a successful upload with xCode 4.5 yesterday, but it failed today. I then updated to xCode 5.0.2 and got a successful upload.
