Oh, one more thing... I just did the build and archive. How / where do I find the build so I can zip it and upload it?

To upload, once you do a build and archive, you'll be given an option to verify. When you click that, it will ask you for your login credentials for your developer account. Once it's verified, you can submit it. If forget what the button says submit or upload. That should be all you need.

Sorry, I should be more clear. I mean to ask where is the build located once its archived? I can't upload it, because I cannot find the file to zip it.

Please reference the iPhone Developer Guide. I believe the instructions are for xcode4.x but the process should be very similar. You'll just have to look around for the right settings options. This links to a .pdf file: https://itunesconnect.apple.com/docs/iTunesConnect_DeveloperGuide.pdf P.S. - Also, if you're interested the latest version of xcode is available for free download via itunes. Do a search for it.

Future: To find the location of the .zip... right click (command) the product name in the Xcode product list. The product name will be your app name. Then 'show in finder'
