# Step 1 – Create a build archive

You need to create a build archive in order to upload your build to App Store Connect. The current build is a debug build for building, debugging, and testing. When you are ready to publish your app on the App Store or TestFlight.

In the **Editor area**, select the motorReactApp project.
