4.2.1 and viewer problem..

okimoki

I upgraded my iPad to 4.2.1 and ever since i have problem with wifi connection.. so, when i start my GS and GS viewer and hit "preview on my iPad", at best i come to the screen when it says loading game, and progres bar gets to maybe 50%max, and then connction is dropped..
So, it is impossible for me to use the Viewer after the 4.2.1 upgrade..
Soooo.. DONT UPGRADE YOUR iPADS TO THE NEWEST VERSION, IT IS THE KNOWN PROBLEM!

Anyway, anybody know of a fix or maybe a different way to test my game on iPad without the Viewer??

You can try the xcode simulator.

I upgraded and have NO problems... so do NOT believe the device is the Problem
clear the all apps out of multitasking...completely shut down iPad
restart and try again...

place a blank scene 1st in your game.... with a button actor... when touch is pressed changeScene next scene...
I noted that too much content for device OS to read in load scene does cause my stuff to slow down...

you could make a provisioning profile for an ad hoc version of your game... build in GS and drag to your iPad.

::EDIT: like that advice CodeMonkey::

I didnt know about the ad hoc version.. tried it and its really simple solution, had some problems with setting up the profiles etc., but now that its done its really quite fast.. and nothing beats seeing and playing your own game on a real device

Thanks for the fast response guys..
