how to do packaging of iphone app

Question

Hi Friends,

I am new to iPhone development. Once I encountered with the term PACKAGING iphone application. I tried little googling but no result. Can someone gimme an idea what exactly packaging is iPhone development?

Answer 1

If you mean building a project, it's done automatically by xcode
If you mean distributing your product, go and see the appstore

Answer 2

Between building your final app with Xcode and uploading to the appstore, you need to zip up your app. Maybe that is what is being referred to.
