confused about distribution provisioning

[swestland]

I managed to create and download the development provisioning profile etc and get my app on my phone. Now I am trying to build it so that I can submit to the appstore.

I build a distribution provisioning profile. However, when I try to build it it says something about the provisioning profile not being on my phone. I don't understand this - I don't want to put it on my phone. I selected Device 3.1.1. | Distribution in the Xcode project. Surely I should not select Simulator?

When I look in Xcode organiser I see the profile there - but it explicitly states that it cannot be installed on a device. I think I would have had to select ad hoc for that.

So any ideas what I am doing wrong?

In fact, when I try to build without my iphone connected I get the immediate error -
No provisioned iPhone OS device is connected.

Surely I don't have to have my iphone connected in order to build the executable for submission to the appstore?

When building for the distribution profile, just use "Build" not "Build and Go".
That will create the binary for you which you can upload.

Thanks!! That was the problem. Weird, I have got used to just clicking Build and Go, I never realised I could just click build. Even though I often check my code as I go along with Cmd_B which is the same thing. Thanks again.
