I need to use the validate functionality in xcode. I need to check if i have not done anything illegal while programming.

I know that i have to login to my iTunes connect account and add a new app. (I did this step)
Next i have to fill in the Language preferred, App name, SKU number and bundle ID

1.) what should i enter for SKU number ?

2.) I only want to submit the app for validation (and not submit the app to appstore). So what is the process i should follow after entering the above details (note:I only need to validate and not submit)

3.) What should i select in Bundle ID dropdown. is it the appname -* or the appname - com.me.app ?

if i select appname - * it will prompt the Bundle ID Suffix what should i add there /

4.) I have given a false application name to its App Name column (since i am not going to submit this to app store), So will i be able to add an App again giving the same Bundle Id and SKU number ?

    1) The SKU is a unique number that you come up with that will help you to identify the app. It can be anything that you desire, for example 001 or 0001.

    2) Follow the remaining steps in iTunes Connect, until you get to “Ready to upload binary”. (and then hit that button) Feel free to use placeholder (ie, temporary) screenshots and files for the app icon. Just ensure they’re of the correct resolution to keep Apple happy for now.

    Once the app has changed to the “waiting for upload” state, then when you build an archive of the app in Xcode and then go to validate, then login with your info, and it will validate your app binary file.

    3) You need to pick the appname - com.me.app option.

    4) You can add more apps again, but the app name, SKU and bundle ID will be different if it is a different app. If you want to reuse the app name that you’ve made, purely to test the validation of the app, then be sure to setup your app in Xcode using the same provisioning profiles, bundle ID and app name again.

    Hope this helps!
