How to submit the app to app store? - ios

I recently made my first iphone app.
I am completely new into iphone programming.
How to submit the app to app store?
I will be better helped with some detailed explanation as I am a noobee.

You'll find your detailed explanation in the iOS Developer Program User Guide.

Three best links I could find are :

http://help.appmakr.com/entries/218997-how-to-upload-your-app-to-itunes-connect-using-application-loader
http://www.weston-fl.com/blog/?p=2442

Go to developer.apple.com/ios, log in, look on the right for itunes connect, click on "manage apps", click "add new application" and follow directions for submission. You must be a registered apple developer and have already paid the developer fee.

Apple has excellent documentation:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iphone_development/145-Distributing_Applications/distributing_applications.html
In summary:
Make sure your application is something of value.
Great a distribution provisioning profile in the developer portal.
Archive you application using this profile.
Log into iTunes Connect and add an application - there will be several pages of fields to fill out. Upload your application.
Wait for approval.

Update Transfered iOS app to another developer account

I have transfered ios app to another developer account. Now, I have to update the same app. How to achive this in terms of certificate and provisional profiles and itunes dashboard actions.
The code, certificate, provisional profiles for my account is with me.
Please help.
Yes, it's possible. Go to iTunesConnect, click on the app you want to transfer and click on "transfer app".
The app will still be available on the app store during the transfer.

iOS app developed from one Developer account and distribute it as enterprise app from another Enterprise account

I am developing an app from one developer account and it was going on for the last few months. But now the client want to distribute it to a few customers Off-Store. We have an enterprise account ready to use but my question is Should I do everything from the start again right from creating the App ID? Or any other way around?
I looked around internet for answers but I could find anything effective.
This one was quite related to my question but I was looking for Off-Store distribution only. I just want to know if its possible.
If the app is already configured in iTunes connect then you can transfer the app from one account to another account from iTunes Connect. Refer this and see if it helps your cause.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/TransferringAndDeletingApps.html
You can use developer provisioning profile for it.
Add UDID of device in developer provisioning profile.
Download and install developer provisioning profile.
After that build IPA by using this developer provisioning profile.
Upload the generated IPA to https://www.diawi.com and click send.
This will give you a link, from which you can download the app.
So you can share this link with anyone.

No accounts with iTunes Connect Access

I'm trying to submit an app to the app store, the app was developed on my personal Apple ID and is being submitted on behalf of a third party (for which my Apple ID is an admin). I am getting an error stating that no iTunes Connect account can be found even though I have Admin/Legal rights.
What am I doing wrong? The app is being signed with their provisioning profile, etc
The Apple ID which you are using to upload the app; that Apple ID must be connected to both the portals (iTunesConnect and Developer) with the minimum roles given below:-
Developer: Admin
iTunesConnect: Admin/App manager/Developer
Upload your app using application loader. I had the same problem and its working for me.
How to upload App using application loader
I had the same issue. My roles were correct on both Developer and iTunesConnect.
For me the solution was to remove my Apple-ID in Xcode, close and reopen Xcode and add the Apple-ID again. Afterwards I was able to upload via Archive Organizer.
In Xcode 9.3 I'm finding that if I submit two apps back-to-back I see this issue with the second app. Closing and restarting Xcode fixes it.
Check your Apple Developer Program Membership has not expired.

xamarin studio created ad hoc iPhone app doesn't show developer in iTunes

I have created my first iPhone app using xamarin forms and have successfully deployed it to several iPhones. The problem is when I select Get Info in iTunes the developer field is empty. The title and version display correctly, but the developer field is blank. I have populated the Author Information in the solution options, but I'm wondering if I have to populate a similar field in the iIOS options dialog? Thank you.

This is not something that is specified in your iOS App project. The developer information shown on iTunes/AppStore is part of your Apple developer account information in iTunes Connect.
I have never used iTunes connect, I'm not even sure what is yet. My app was built using an adhoc distribution profile. Perhaps that information doesn't get filled in until I officially publish the app, would that be a correct assumption?
Thanks

How do you add Apple ID's for a Custom B2B app?

I am trying to add a custom B2B App to iTunes connect, from Apples documentation it appears there should be a text box to enter the clients Apple ID, but I don't seem to have anything like that.
Here is what the Apple Documentation looks like Apple Doc
And here is what I see in iTunes Connect Link
How do I add the Apple ID's for the custom B2B Apps distribution ?
You are not crazy and are adding the Apple ID correctly.
Currently there is an issue with Apple's site and it is preventing the adding of apple ID's. The page will just refresh after hitting the "add Apple ID" button.
I have tested this in Chrome, Safari, and Mobile Safari. I even have an open ticket where Apple support verified the issue with their test accounts and mentioned there are 4 other tickets open at the time I called it in.
Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do different. If you haven't already, you should call Apple Support and start a ticket for it so you get notified when it is fixed.
EDIT
It took over two weeks but as of 04-02-2015 iTunes connect has been fixed and you will be able to add Apple IDs for B2B apps.
Hopefully that helps.
