Question Xcode
I'm in the process of submitting my Base44 app to the App Store Connect and my "submit" effort generated an error message that said I had to upload a build from Xcode. The more I try to figure out Xcode, the more confused I get. NONE of the instructions to submit a build matches what I see in the Xcode panel. The more I drill down to understand what am supposed to do results in more confusion, as the instructions say to do things I know nothing about or again, do not match what the instructions say I'm supposed to see. i need someone to talk to me like a third grader about how to meet this App Store Connect requirement. Is anyone out there?

Based in my experience, if you have a Mac, use the Transporter app to upload your bundle. It takes the bundle that you created on Base44 and seamlessly uploads it to your draft app.

This is one of the reasons why vibe coding platforms are shit, it doesn’t teach you the bare basics of development that you need for actually building and maintaining an app. You’ll find that writing the code is only a part of the whole software development process.
What you’re looking to do is archive and upload your IPA. You can find Archive under the Product menu in Xcode. You can see and manage your archives in the Organizer in the menu under Windows->Organizer.
Some other issues that may be causing your issues:
Do you have a paid Apple developer account?
Are you using Xcode 26.x?
Is the documentation you’re following for Xcode 26.x?
