OK All I want to do is upload my app to the App store. I get the message "ready to Upload"
After weeks of emailing Apple, contacting Runrev, checking the forums, looking through live code help area, I'm still totally clueless.
My only clue is that the App ID must match in the Distribution profile and the Livecode Standalone settings. But I cannot get a match. Apple says the id must be "com.UnderdogEducational.BlendyStar3" yet the Distribution profile does not match. When I try to get a new App ID to use "BlendyStar3" I get a message that the name is already in use.
I'm considered pretty easy going. But lately I feel in a constant state of anger. Any ideas, apart from using hard drugs?

Re: Uploading to the App Store
Hi,
Have you got a Dist Profile for Development/testing called 'BlendyStar3' ? If so you will need to create a different one for Release Distribution/Certificate with a slightly different name. There are the two types on the Apple site. You will end up with two profiles in your keychain/LC IDE - you will then need to choose the appropriate one for the Build you want. The final Release Cert can't really be used on your own device directly when trying to test - therefore you will use the Dev Cert while testing and only the Release one when you are about to upload to Apple.
On my Standalone Application Settings window I have 2 Profile Entries for each App (xxxx and xxxxDev) - it's not too difficult to handle once you are aware of the process. It took me many hours to get my head around the Apple/LC structure to begin with, but by the time I hit my third App it was a matter of a couple of minutes to set it all up correctly. Don't be disheartened - it will work in the end.
I hope this was helpful, I'm writing this from memory - it's been a month or so since I last added anything to the App Store.
Cheers,
Dave

Re: Uploading to the App Store
Thanks, Dave, I checked the profiles. They seem to be different. Seems that there are so many steps, and apps involved with uploading, that it's like finding a needle in a haystack.

Max,
If you haven't already, take a look at http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4 ... le-for-ios and related lessons.
Exactly what error message are you getting when you try to upload your app?
