Creating an App in iTunes Connect

To submit an app to the app store, there are  few steps we need to do via the iTunes connect application.

The iTunes connect application can be accessed via the URL https://itunesconnect.apple.com/

First step
Enter the basic information about the app like below


The SKU number is a unique id for the app. It can be a number or a literal or a combination etc.

Second Step:
In this step, one needs to enter the availability date etc like in the below image.

If someone is not selecting any territory filter, then app will be available in all the territories.


Next , Needs to enter the meta data information about the app. The fields look like the below. 

After this, needs to enter the App Reviewers information

After this needs to enter the EULA text if anything to be shown to the user. 
Next section is a bit more important. Below given the screen shot for the image requirements. 


Next screen comes up with a certain Export compliance, Content Rights and Advertising Identifier usage. 


You are now ready to upload your binary using Application Loader. Application Loader can only be used when your app status is Waiting for Upload. Once the binary is uploaded, your app status will change first to Upload Received and then to Waiting for Review. If we encounter any issues with the binary itself, your app status will change to Invalid Binary and you will receive an email explaining the issues and the steps you can take to correct them.
If you have downloaded Xcode 5 (5A1413) or later, in Xcode, choose Xcode->Open Developer Tool->Application Loader. If you do not find it, download and install the latest version of Application Loader.
