How to Distribute Xcode in Mac Apps

Xcode is the name of the development kit that allows users to create applications, or apps, for the iOS and Mac OS operating systems. If you want to publish an app that you have created in Xcode on the Mac OS App Store, you can do so by registering the app in iTunes Connect and uploading it by using Xcode.
