Packaging a BDK App for App Store

Hey @gaurav

Thanks for your prompt response last week. I have since tried to commence the process as you mentioned however there is an issue trying to progress.

I fill in the details as requested, but the “Start Native Project” button is greyed out / disabled. See attached image.
