To publish your app on Apple store please carefully read EACH of the steps listed below for detailed instructions.
Register as an Apple Developer
To publish an app through the Apple App Store, you need to have an Apple Developer account and be a member of the iOS Developer Program. Your app also needs to meet Apple's App Store guidelines.
The first step towards publishing your applications on app store is to sign up for the iPhone Developer Program at http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/. There are two programs available - Standard and Enterprise. For most developers wanting to release applications on the App Store, they can simply sign up for the Standard program, which costs US$99. Check out http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/apply.html to know more about the differences between the Standard and Enterprise programs.
Go to your Developer Account's Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles Menu:
Begin by navigating to the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles menu of your developer account by clicking the link above or copying this (https://developer.apple.com/account/overview.action) and pasting into your browser's Web Address bar.
After logging into your developer account, you should see the screen below. Follow the indicated arrow directions to proceed to the next step.
Create App ID
App ID (on iTunes - Bundle ID) is a unique identifier of your app. Once created it can not be deleted, for future use when you release your app updates you will have to use the same App ID/Bundle ID.
Refer to in Identifiers to the App IDs and click Add New (Plus sign).
Fill in fields on the next screen paying attention on the following:
AppID Description -> Name: choose your App ID name, it can be your app name;
