  • define your App ID's
  • create your Distribution Provisioning Profile for code-signing your app
  • open your iPhone SDK to build the application
  • take that ZIP file and go to Developer's App Upload site, remember to prepare some graphics such as an icon for your app, a sample screenshot...
  • upload to iTunes Connect
2. Promote your app
After being approved, your app are ready to sell to millions of iPhone users all around the world. But it still can stay unnoticed in the store.
To make sure that the result is worthy of your efforts, you must have a plan to market your app to the audience.
