Can you tell me, is there a way to view the actual .xcodeproj file from a LC Standalone app? I can use "show package contents" on a LC app, but there is no .xcodeproj file. I'd really like to be able to easily work with my project within Xcode. Not necessarily for design or coding, but for a little fine tuning from Xcode.

Also, do we have to test on the device to get the LC standalone app into Xcode? Is the app then put into the organizer area of Xcode for uploading to the app store?

We need a wiki that details the entire process from start to finish (maybe I missed it). There are bits and pieces of information spread all over the place, but nothing that I could find that takes us through every step of the process.

As always,
TIA

May I never be cured of my curiosity! :D

As far as I know, LC doesn't create a project file. Aside from the command line tools, I don't think it uses XCode at all. LC apps are their own animal, with a different file structure and organization. Even if you got the app into XCode, it wouldn't be able to read it.

You can use XCode to manage certificates and some account details, and App Uploader to submit to the store. It used to be you could drag your app into XCode, maybe you still can. If so, you might be able to submit that way.
