How do I submit a Codename One application to the itunes store

I've finished the development of my Codename One application and tested the debug version. I created an Appstore version and I'm ready to submit it to the itunes store but I'm unsure how to do that.

When I go to Apple's member area site I don't see any area to submit the app or upload it.

I've seen mention that this can be done directly thru xcode but since I use Codename One I don't have a Mac or xcode.

I don't see how this is off topic, can someone actually post a reasonable explanation on why they think this is the case? The question above was posted based on a question we got on our support channel. - Shai Almog
I don't understand why it is closed either, so I'll just vote to re-open... - Sumurai8

At this time you need a Mac for the store upload process (this is something we might improve in the future).

You can use a Mac In Cloud machine for that specific task since its a pretty short task.

You need to signup to itunes connect (on a PC or Mac).

Define all the settings for your app, images, copy etc. and bring it to the "ready to upload binary" stage.

Then on a Mac with xcode installed (xcode is in the Mac appstore):

  • Press the magnifying glass on the top right corner (spotlight)
  • Type Application Loader (it will suggest completion) and double click that app.
  • Login thru the app and follow the steps to upload
