title: How to upload to Apple's My Apps from a Xamarin project
body: <p>I specifically need help getting the app build into my apps. I am so new to the MAC ecosystem. I need to get my app build from my windows 10 box (parallels) running VS2017/Xamarin Forms project uploaded to My Apps. What i have found is helpful if you are using xcode on the mac. </p>
  
  <p>I have read tons of pages and help files and with all of that what I have includes:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>created an app in VS2017/Xamarin that runs happily on the emulator from the MAC (MacBook Pro)</li>
  <li>purchased the app dev subcription from apple</li>
  <li>created a Production certificate (I don't need this yet but I was in there so...) </li>
  <li>created a Development certificate</li>
  <li>created a key pair from the Dev cert (that show up in the keychain)</li>
  <li>created an App Group </li>
  <li>created my app's placeholder under My Apps on App Store Connect</li>
  <li>added my iPhone to devices via connecting to the Mac getting the UDID from iTunes</li>
  <li>created a development provisioning profile for my iPhone (Not sure how this helps my testflight plight)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Assumptions</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>You must submit for review the same way for both TestFlight and Prod release to the actual store. </li>
  <li>You don't need to open the app in xcode outside Xamarin 
  There is a tool or concept I am missing out on. </li>
  </ul>
