Newbie needs help posting to iPhone Store.

I have completed the application I want to use and publish. I need help with publishing with the XCode software. I have paid for my development account, and have myself ready to load the app to the iPhone store, however I get this error about the app certificate each time. If there is someone that can assist a first timer that would be great. I have the newest version of Xcode downloaded today.

Publishing to the App Store is easy once you understand how to configure Xcode to compile your app with your Apple developer credentials. See this lengthy but informative post for more information: http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=626D7A8A34B341E

Alright.. I am getting a CODE Signing error. I really need someone to do this for me the first time. I am getting all this text and things that are explained that don't match up to the program I am using, and there are missing steps all the way. Would you be able to assist via remote and show me and communicate by phone?

You are not alone in your struggles. iTunes, Xcode, and the compile / submit process should be MUCH EASIER but it's not, it just isn't. Code signing errors are ALWAYS, 100% of the time, without exception, related to the Certificate in your iPhone dev. account and how it does or doesn't match-up to the app you are trying to compile. There are dozens of tutorials online (youtube, google) that should help point you in the right direction.

So the compiling of apps and certificates are created for each and every app is what your saying? maybe THAT is what I got wrong going for me..

Different people manage the compile / submit process different ways. Example: I have a few dozen apps in the App Store that are compiled using the same Certificate and WildCard App Id ( a term used by Apple), and I have other apps that are compiled under a different developer certificate and Apple App Id. The idea is this: Apple requires that each application in their app store belong to a developer. They determine who the apps belongs to by a) what developer account uploaded it to iTunes, and b) what Certificate was used when it was compiled (the developer account and the cert. must belong to the same person). Additionally, Apple used App Id's to identify apps. When creating Certificates on their portal, you select, or create a new, App Id that travels along with the Cert. You can create one that is Generic or WildCard that allows you to use the same certificate for multiple apps, or, you can create unique App Id's for individual apps. Again, different folks prefer to do things different ways. I would recommend starting by getting ONE certificate created on the portal, downloading it, and double clicking it to get it in your Mac's Key Chain. After you do this, the process may make more sense? I'de be happy to discuss this with you on the phone BUT PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR PHONE NUMBER ON THE FORUM (BAD IDEA). Instead, send an email to info at buzztouch.com with you number and I'll call you when I get a chance tomorrow (monday). We can go from there.
