iOS Submitting an iPad application to the AppStore for a client.

Hmpf.
About the "iPhone developer", it won't change to iPad, so don't worry about that.
The thing is, you need an developer account, to actually develop on the device etc, and an distribution profile to distribute.. Like Ad-Hoc sharing, or App Store building.
Thing is, you need an distribution profile, which is CORRECTLY matched with your certificate, so just sending his distribution profile won't cut it, since it's matched with a private certificate in your keychain.
Then you need to archive it, and then you can build it to an .ipa for the appstore, those steps are quite logic, if you just follow the guide in xcode itself.
If you go to the app in xcode, set it's path to iOS device/or whatever device you have attached, press Product at the top, then archive, and when it's done, press the Share button. build for app store, etc.
Hope that helped a little.

Via your keychain, you need to request a certificate from an authority, (remove all your certificates in your provisioning portal).
After you have the .certifRequest thingy, SAVED TO DASK, don't send email, well, you can, but save to disk is faster.
Go to the provisioning portal, upload the certifRequest thingy. Now you have an Certificate, download that and save it to your keychain.
Now at the Distribution Profile, make a new one, make sure it's all set it up to match your application, like bundle id, the name (for eg. be.jNoxx.appName), if you don't know what that is, research a bit.
You only need the distribution profile to get it on the appstore, like i told you, you need to make a new one.
Go to your developer Portal, go to Provisioning, then the Distribution Tab.
Like I show here

Make a new one, set it all up, download it.
And when you follow the steps in my previous post, it should all work out..

EDIT: You need to SIGN the PROVISIONING files, with CERTIFICATES. so these are all seperate things working together, if you double click them, and they are in your keychain, Xcode will recognize them, otherwise go to the organizer in Xcode, and click REFRESH at the Provisioning Profiles tab like i show here

Then press

Then it should take a while to load up after you entered the credentials, then u can actually use it i think ^_-
Good luck

Thank you! This cleared things up a little, but not greatly. They setup a developer account for me to use to submit the app. When I enter the iOS portal to assign a certificate, there are two options for certificate. I don't understand if I need the developers certificate and the distribution one, to submit the app to the app store. Also, the process to create a certificate in the CA is confusing. I've actually already created the certificates, but I don't know how that corresponds with XCode and inevitably, the app I'm submitting.

Many thanks!

A developer certificate is for building a debug version of an app that can be installed on test devices.
A distribution certificate is for building a release version of an app that can be submitted to the app store. (I think, but I'm not sure, that this is also what one needs to do an ad-hoc distribution of their app.)
