Best way for uploading binary Application Loader or Xcode organizer

Question

I want to know best way for uploading binary to itunestore. Is it through Application loader or using Xcode organizer archive build, validate and submit.

Answer 1

There are significant differences which I've tried to list below (as of Xcode 6.3.2 - Jun 2015):

Xcode Organiser

• The application to submit must be selected from the list of your locally archived apps (you cannot browse to a specfic file)
• Gives option to 'Validate' your app before submitting
• At validate/submission time will download/sync all the provisioning profiles associated with the selected Apple developer account and re-sign/re-embed the application with the appropriate one (it does indicate which one's get selected but you cannot override this)
• Gives option to automatically upload the debugging symbols that are included in the archived application
• NO upload progress
• (Gives the option to Export to an *.ipa which could be used with Application Loader)

Application Loader

• Requires you browse to an *.ipa file for its input
• No option to Validate before submitting
• Uses the provisioning profile that is already embedded in the *.ipa file
• NO way to upload debugging symbols
• Gives upload progress
