Uploading my .ipa file using Application Loader after a long day figuring out the proper way of building .ipa for Distribution (refer previous post)

when suddenly...

“This bundle is invalid. New apps and app updates submitted to the App Store must be built with the latest version of Xcode 5 and must be optimized for iOS 7” - Apple, as of Feb 1st

Updating to Air 4.0 SDK does the trick! But make sure what you have is Air 4.0 SDK for Flex Developers. Seems so obvious... But no, ok!

Updating Flex SDKs on Mac is a pain, too! Below list the steps I should take for any replacements.

Download from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html

Be sure to download the Developers (all the way at the bottom), please! 

Open Finder > /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/sdks/4.6.0

Open Finder > /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/eclipse/plugins/com.adobe.flash.compiler_4.7.0.349722

Drop the downloaded SDK file into both places (don't uncompress it!)

Open terminal and "cd <first folder>", then "sudo tar jxvf <compressed file>"

Repeat Step 6 for the other folder

This is the proper way to overlay my existing SDK with the new one. Merely copy and pasting won't work. Seriously... stupid!

The first is the worst... (and in case I forget, I hope this post serves as a good memory)

An Apple Developer account can create as many developer certificates but at most 3 distribution certificates.

Create a Certificate Signing Request using my Keychain Access. (Keychain Access > Certificate Assistant > Request Certificate from Certificate Authority > Enter email address and common name > Request is saved to disk and let me specify key pair information)

Sign in to Apple Developer

To kick start Development:

Creating a Developer Certificate

Go to Certificates > "+"

Choose "iOS App Development"

Upload the .CSR file saved previously

Create App ID (Bundle ID) for the application

Go to Identifiers > "+"

App ID Name: <name of application>

Explicit App ID (Bundle ID): <reverse domain name or whatever string i want it to be, though this has to match my application ID in the xml file>

Creating a Developer Provisioning Profile

Go to Provisioning Profile > "+"

Choose iOS App Development

Select desired App ID, Developer Certificate/ Devices

Specify name for the provisioning profile and download once ready

Whatever I've just created for Development will not work for Distribution! Common sense - Not quite.

Time to Distribute:

Creating a Distribution Certificate (If you don't have one)

This time choose "App Store and Ad Hoc" under Production settings

No need to create new App ID, just use the first one

Creating a Distribution Provisioning Profile

This time choose the "App Store" under Distribution 

Choose a distribution certificate previously created

Important things to note:

I can create as many Developer certificates

I can create as many Developer and Distribution provisioning profiles

I cannot create more than 3 Distribution certificates

I can revoke a Distribution certificate and it won't affect any of my live apps or its updates
