Uploading to the Appstore: "Application Loader"

There isn't really a lot of documentation on the final step: Getting the app to the Apple appstore.

Somewhere, I read that I am supposed to use the "Application Loader", but this tool is not available anywhere on the Apple website. I did find an old version on some site, but I'm getting certificate problems and who knows where those come from?

On the Apple Developer Forum there are a number of topics stating that the "Application Loader" is not longer used, they now user the "Organizer" which (indeed) comes with XCode. But I have no clue (nor the intention) of how to get my Flash Builder project into XCode.

Googling on this topic doesn't turn up anything useful.

This means one of two things: Nobody is using FlashBuilder to make apps or I am just not getting it. The latter must be the case.

Anybody that can offer me some insight?

I don't see anything in the Organizer window that seems to be to do with uploading apps to the App Store. The application, Application Loader, is in /Developer/Applications/Utilities, on your hard drive. Here's a PDF on how to use it:

For anybody else who stumbles across this while trying to figure out where to find Application Loader. It's within Xcode. Open Xcode, go to the top Menu under Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Application Loader.
