Simple Checklist how to upload an iOS app

I have written a small first iOS app.
My goal is just it to run first on my iPhone.

However, I learned bits and pieces that I need Xcode, some certificates, etc. and its not just a simple copying of my compiled app onto the iPhone.
What I love to see and have is a checklist of (chronologically, and maybe with links to dig deeper):
a) how to compile and upload an app onto your iPhone
b) see in one glance what else is needed to have it eventually in the App Store (any costs and other hurdles?)

Does anyone of you has such a short, working overview or checklist of this? Thanks.

Thanks Uli and Jeff, that’s worth trying to begin with. Doubt it’ll will be nice and easy the first time… :wink:

You will have to be a member of the Apple Developer Program.

No download to an iPhone is possible beside the above sentence ?

It is possible to not have a paid membership, and deploy your own apps on your own devices. I can’t recall if nowadays this means they need to be redeployed every “x” number of days, though.

In general “download to an iPhone” is possible in multiple ways, but having a developer profile makes them all easier.

You can, but you have to create a new bundle ID and re-upload every 7 days. Just get a real account, IMO.
