您正在启动您的第一个应用程序，或者距离上次已经有一段时间了。作者纸飞机@cheng716051来给你讲讲将应用程序提交到 App Store 并不像按下启动按钮那么简单，但也没有看起来那么复杂。
这篇循序渐进的文章假设您已经注册了 Apple 开发者计划，您的应用遵循 Apple 的应用审查和人机界面指南，并且您已准备好发布。这是对 Gustavo Ambrozio 和 Tony Dahbura 的精彩指南的更新，其中包含来自最新版本 Xcode 的信息，这些信息简化了一些步骤以及来自 Apple 自己的文档的更多上下文。为了分发您的应用程序进行 Beta 测试或在 App Store 中上线（tl;dr），请执行以下操作。
1. Code Signing: Create an iOS distribution provisioning profile and distribution certificate
1. 代码签名：创建 iOS 分发配置文件和分发证书
The development provisioning profile and development certificate that you’ve been using are only for specific devices. In order to distribute your app to beta testers or to users through the App Store, you’ll need a separate distribution provisioning profile and distribution certificate.
您一直使用的开发配置文件和开发证书仅适用于特定设备。为了通过 App Store 将您的应用分发给 beta 测试人员或用户，您需要一个单独的分发配置文件和分发证书。
The easiest way to do this is through Xcode. If automatic signing is enabled, Xcode will create and manage certificates, signing identities, and handle device registration for you. If automatic signing is already enabled or if you don’t need help with signing, you can skip to step two.
最简单的方法是通过 Xcode。如果启用了自动签名，Xcode 将为您创建和管理证书、签名身份并处理设备注册。如果自动签名已启用，或者您在签名方面不需要帮助，则可以跳到第二步。
(In some cases, you might prefer manual signing. Here‘s an in-depth tutorial on how to manually sign your app. Keep in mind that all targets in a bundle should use the same signing method.)
（在某些情况下，您可能更喜欢手动签名。这里有一个关于如何手动签名您的应用程序的深入教程。请记住，捆绑包中的所有目标都应使用相同的签名方法。）
· First, add your Developer Program account to Xcode if you haven’t already. From the top menu, select Xcode, then choose Preferences.
首先，将您的开发者计划帐户添加到 Xcode（如果您还没有的话）。从顶部菜单中，选择 Xcode，然后选择 Preferences。
· Click on Accounts. In the bottom left corner of the window, press the + sign, then Add Apple ID…
· 单击帐户。在窗口的左下角，按 + 号，然后按添加 Apple ID...
· Enter the Apple ID and password you use for the Apple Developer Program, then click Sign In.
· 输入您用于 Apple Developer Program 的 Apple ID 和密码，然后点按“登录”。
· Next, enable automatic signing. From the Project Editor, choose a target and select General.
· 接下来，启用自动签名。从项目编辑器中，选择一个目标并选择常规。
· Scroll down to the “Signing” section and click on the triangle icon to expand the settings.
· 向下滚动到“签名”部分，然后单击三角形图标以展开设置。
· Click on the box to Automatically manage signing.
· Select your team.单击框以自动管理签名。选择你的团队。
When you connect a new device to your Mac, Xcode will automatically detect and register it to your team provisioning profile. Note that in order to launch your app on a device, the device needs to be registered on your team provisioning profile.
当您将新设备连接到 Mac 时，Xcode 会自动检测并将其注册到您的团队配置文件中。请注意，为了在设备上启动您的应用程序，该设备需要在您的团队配置文件中注册。
2. Create an App Store Connect record for your app
2. 为您的应用创建 App Store Connect 记录
Get an App Store Connect account by:
通过以下方式获取应用商店连接帐户：

If you’re submitting a paid app, you’ll need to sign a contract that covers the terms of payment. If your app is free, you can skip ahead
.如果您要提交付费应用，则需要签署一份涵盖付款条款的合同。如果您的应用程序是免费的，您可以跳过。
