I think you mean the .ipa file, in that case:

1) Product >> Clean Build Folder

2) Change the build target from iPad/iPhone Simulator to iOS Device.

3) Under the Product menu, select Archive. This will build your application and code sign it using the Distribution (Ad Hoc or App Store). Once the build has completed the Organizer window will appear. If it does not, open it using CMD-Shift–2 or Window -> Organizer. If you see a message popup saying “codesign wants to sign using key ”privateKey“ in your keychain.”, select Allow or Always Allow. Go to the Archives tab in Organizer and select your application, if it was not automatically selected, and choose the archive you wish to share.

4) Click the Distribute button. In the next window select that you want to upload to the app store, and click Next. In the Code Signing Identity drop down, select the same Distribution Provisioning Profile specified in the Release configuration. And that's pretty much the steps to upload to the App Store.

A great place to look for answers to questions such as this is the Apple Documentation

In short, you need to:

  • Ensure you have a valid App ID, or wildcard App ID set in the Developer Member Centre
  • Select Product > Archive in Xcode with the project open, making sure you have "iOS Device" selected in the top left corner
  • At the archive screen, you can then select Validate and (if there are no issues) Submit. The build will then appear in iTunes Connect.

The documentation linked above will guide you through this step by step.
