Description
https://skip.tools/docs/deployment/ should say that for your first time uploading an app to App Store Connect, your best bet is almost certainly to use Xcode's Archive feature.
Then, when you want to automate that, you can set up fastlane. https://docs.fastlane.tools/actions/upload_to_app_store/ is very difficult for a newbie to understand if you've never uploaded a build by hand at least once.

Research direction
Open https://skip.tools/docs/deployment/ and review the first-time App Store Connect upload guidance. Compare it with the linked fastlane upload documentation, then update the deployment page so the recommended manual workflow and later automation path are clear. Done means a newcomer can identify the recommended first upload approach before reading the fastlane instructions.
