First you need a developer account with Apple, then you need to download and update Xcode, then you need to set up developer and distribution profiles for general development and distribution in iTunes Connect, then you need to create and download and install a developer provisioning profile for the GameSalad Viewer so you can install the viewer and then the game on your iPhone. Then when you're ready to submit to Apple, you have to set up development and distribution profiles for your game on iTunes Connect, download and install, and then publish through the GameSalad website and sign the app with the distribution profile. Then you have to send the game to Apple through Application Loader. And then hopefully if you set all that up correctly, within a week Apple will review your game and approve it.

Lots of stuff, huh?

You're going to need to start off one thing at a time, and there are videos that will help you through the process. It's your first time, so I'm going to be honest and tell you it is not easy at all your first time around. Not easy at all.

Watch these videos from FBS. He took the time to make these videos to help people with their profiles and such.

Apple Developer profiles

Installing the GameSalad viewer so you can test your game

That should help you at least get started with the process.
