Need a little guidance using SDK for a produce destined for iPad distribution

[21st Century Man]

Greets, all:

I developed a FileMaker solution to run on iPads using FileMaker Go; I'm using the Data Separation model where one file is the UI and the other is the data file. 

I wrote to Claris for clarification on how to go about packing the solution for Apple's App Store (to which they curtly referred me to Apple), and I wrote to Apple and haven't heard a reply in weeks, so here I am wondering how do I go about selling my product on the App Store.

I read that I need XCODE installed on my Mac and a Developers license from Apple ($99), but after reading some articles I don't understand the process of packaging the two FileMaker Pro files on my Mac into a package that's sold on the App Store. If y'all could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Happy holidays!

I know practically nothing about it but ... doesn't this answer your question (Step 4 in particular)?

Thanks. I read that before posting here and it left me with more questions than answers since I'm not using an organizational MDM package or targeting, or benefitting, any organization proper.

I'll wait 'til next week to start making calls at Apple and will hopefully get an answer; I'll post here what they say for the benefit of others.

 

Cheers!
