iPhone application submitted to AppStore
On 2009/02/11 I submitted my iPhone applicaton to the AppStore via iTunes Connect.
It is still “In Review”.
Continuing my lessons learned…
XCode has a very severe bug (or feature — eye of the beholder) with code signing of iPhone applications. This was by far the most painful part of the entire process. As I said before, I would have happily jumped into a Sarlacc Pit to end my suffering. Getting the app signed with the final provisioning profile merely reconfirmed my earlier findings.
That said, I found a workaround that seems to fix any such issues without fail. You open up the project file and manually replace the UUIDs for provisioning profile you want to use.
Other than that, the uploading process was straightforward — provide the application metadata, a few icons, the binary and then wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Perfection has its price…
