Uploading marketing and support materials
iTunes Connect works in almost exactly the opposite way you'd expect. Instead of uploading a binary and then
adding marketing text and images for it, you upload the marketing materials first to create an application re-
cord. You then upload your archived app. It becomes the binary associated with the record.
NOTE
The way iTunes Connect works may seem counterintuitive, but it has a valid purpose. If your binary is rejected,
the application record remains in place, and you don't have to reenter it when you resubmit. Similarly, when you
upgrade your app to a new version, you can reuse the details you entered when you first submitted the app.
Follow these steps to upload your app:
1.
Log in to the iOS Developer Portal, and select iTunes Connect from the list of items at the top
right of the screen.
(You can also access iTunes Connect directly at
itunesconnect.apple.com
.
)
2.
Select Manage Your Apps.
3.
Click Add New App at the top left.
4.
Work your way through the “paperwork,” the first page of which is shown in Figure 13.13, by
filling in the fields, uploading artwork, answering questions about encryption technology and age rat-
ings, and copying and pasting your marketing text.
Most of the options are straightforward. The most likely source of confusion is the Bundle ID option.
