I am having an issue when trying to load my application using the application

I am having an issue when trying to load my application using the application loader.

Getting error message when trying to load the .zip file using the application loader…

“The application wrapper must end in .app /var/folders//5g/….”

I did the Product/Archive, but Archive is gray out …. I am not able to load my application neither from Xcode nor application loader. I am new to iOS… I have looked my application files and I don’t see any .app file. is that it? I have created an application by using storyboard… any tips?
Thanks.

    When using the Application Loader you need to upload an .app file. The ipa (or .zip) file that you have is an archive that contains an directory (Payload) with the .app file that has the name for your application. That’s the file you need to upload from Application Loader

    For uploading it from XCode you need to archive it, or go to Organize->Archives and select submit to AppStore from there.

    If you have the Archive option disabled from the Product menu you need to select iOS Device as target in the run target drop down. You probably have iPad/iPhone Simulator X.X selected now.

    Hope this helps.
