For anyone who’s been through creating a distribution build, Ad Hoc or for the App Store, you know all to well it’s no walk in the park. After going through this a few times, I began writing notes to myself, which eventually become a rather lengthy checklist.
I thought this same information might be helpful for others, so I consolidated all the notes into one document.
There are a few caveats:
- The list is not necessarily the shortest path to create a distribution.
- A few redundant steps are listed, mostly done as a sanity check to ensure nothing was missed.
- This list will be helpful primarily to those who are about to adventure upon their first deployment.

This list was written with Pages on a Mac and printed to a PDF file. If anyone has a suggestion on how to embed the document into this post, please let me know.

I was looking for something like this about three weeks ago. :)
I do have one suggestion. I found out after my app was released that anyone who had a previous firmware (earlier than 2.2.1) couldn’t use my app. I now believe this was because I built the app for 2.2.1. But I just built it for that version because I didn’t know any better… my app runs fine on the older APIs, So now I’m waiting for the update, so some folks can run my app.
Overall, nice work!

Hey John – I missed this first time around! awesome job (&blog ;) passed it on to our iphone devs…
I’d recommend incorporating the data either as a google doc (enable duplicate option) and/or a slideshare presentation (good for outreaching to a wider audience) thanks again.

You can use something like a slideshare.net or scribd.com widget to embed the document into your post.
