Outsourcing App Dev

[darubio]

I have a question regarding about iphone app development. Now i have an app idea but like many people I have no idea about programming. So i am thinking hiring a company or freelancer to do it.

But my question is, say the app is already made and ready to go. How do i submit it to the app store? Do the company/freelance send me the file and I have to submit myself using my own developers account if i signed up for it? Or Do they send it themselves? If its a purchased app, how do I get the money from the sale? Does it go to the company/freelancer who created the app or can it go straight to my paypal or other accounts?

Id like some advice in this please if you could

You wouldn't believe how often non developers say they have a great idea for an app, they just need someone to develop it for them...

Hardly a bad thing is it? I see it as a good business for the developers. I just want to get some basic advice encase theres something I should watch out for before approaching a developer.
