App Hub Application Submission Walkthrough - Step 1:

Upload Your Application

In this step, you'll upload your .XAP package. 

• App name for App Hub - The name that uniquely identifies your app or game in App Hub. The Application Title that will appear in the Windows Phone Marketplace will be entered during Step 2: Provide the Application Description.
• Distribute to - Select Public Marketplace for normal Marketplace distribution, or Private Beta Test to have your application reviewed by people you select. Learn more about the Private Beta Test option.
• Browse to upload a file - Click Browse to locate your app on your computer and upload it as a XAP package. The upload process may take several minutes, depending on the size of the file and your connection speed.
• Version - The version number for your app. Windows Phone Marketplace doesn't require any specific version numbering, but if you're updating your app then you must assign the version numbers in an increasing order so that they correspond to major developments and minor upgrades in the application.
• Requires technical exception - Select this option to specify that your application requires an exception to the certification approval process for technical reasons. Submitting a technical exception will add several days to the certification approval process. Exception requests aren't guaranteed to be approved, and should only be used in very rare circumstances. This is an optional field. For more information about technical exceptions, see the Windows Phone Application Certification Requirements. If you require a technical exception, download the Technical Exception Request form. Fill in the fields on the form and upload it with your app submission on the upload page.
