  1. Make sure all your certificates are correct and are installed on your machine
  2. Go to iTunes Connect and create a new application/build [delete as appropriate]
  3. Run Build and Archive
  4. Switch to the Organizer
  5. Select the build that you've just completed
  6. Press the Validate button
  7. If that went well, press the Submit button

There are lots of things that can go wrong, unfortunately. But you give zero information on what you've tried or what's didn't work. Apple's documentation is pretty thorough. I'd recommend reading that rather than searching for random YouTube clips. Apple also allow you to download videos from many WWDC talks, including ones about using Xcode.

I don't believe you are required to archive your app to submit to the App Store. The method I've used going back to 3.x is to show your product myApp.app in Finder, then compress it. It should zip the file up, and you can submit it through the Application Loader. Hope this helps.

  • Do you need application loader to upload even in Xcode 4.2 if yes where can i find ? – user1087659 Dec 09 '11 at 16:40

    Pretty sure you need it. Should be link when you log in to iTunesConnect. You will need to set up your submission in ITC first, then use App Loader to submit against it. It is pretty easy once you have the app set up in ITC. Good Luck. – Bill Burgess Dec 09 '11 at 16:43

    You can submit apps inside Xcode. There's little need for Application Loader any more. And yes, you need to archive your app before submission. This is basically just zipping it up. – Stephen Darlington Dec 09 '11 at 17:02
  • Right, but you aren't required to submit via Xcode, the other methods still work. The question leaves out a lot of information. – Bill Burgess Dec 09 '11 at 17:15
  • @BillBrasky App Loader isn't working anymore for me. I being told i should upload via Xcode organizer. – modusCell Dec 09 '11 at 17:38
  • We do both, Xcode direct upload (via Archive) and semi manual ZIP upload via Application Loader - both ways still work totally fine. Actually the latter way usually works best - fewer hidden caveats. – Till Dec 09 '11 at 18:35
  • I just submitted an update a week ago using App Loader... using 4.2.1. – Bill Burgess Dec 09 '11 at 18:53

Apple added video tutorials that explain exactly how to do this. Log in to iTunes connect using your iOS developer program credentials. Once you're logged in, go to "Manage You Apps". At the bottom of the page, there is a video tutorials section that has two tutorials - "Adding An App" and "Delivering Your Binary".

I believe these are what you're looking for.
