iPhone AppStore submission gotchas
I’ve just had a couple of issues submitting my new iPhone app to the AppStore. I have to say, it’s quite a convoluted process. In xCode’s organiser window you have a couple of very handy big buttons to validate and submit the app, which sounds perfect! Except that these buttons do absolutely nothing, and give […]
