Yes, I used Xcode's built-in functionality to export an XLIFF file and sent
it to my translators. It was a pretty painless process, thankfully.

I did not, mainly because I was under the assumption that you didn't need
to explicitly localize the app in its development language; you could
provide translations for specific languages, and if there wasn't a
translation for the user's language, then the development or Base language
would be used. That would seem to make sense and since it worked for me and
the majority of my users... well, I know we're not supposed to make
assumptions, but what's a "base language" for, if not to accomplish this
behavior?
