Are you guys beta testing?

I just started letting some TouchAcrade users beta test my app, and im not sure exactly how im supposed to build my app to their device. Has anyone tried with the whole tester thing and if so, a how to maybe?

You need their UDIDs - This can be found in iTunes when you plug in your device. It should show in the device summary the serial number.

Click this and you get a really long alphanumeric string that's the UDID. Without moving the mouse, press CMD and C to copy the string.

You then have to add this in the iphone developer programme on Apple's site. It's above the link to itunes connect on the right.

Once in, click on 'Devices' on the left hand menu.

Click on 'Add devices' and press CMD and V to paste the UDID in the right place. The rest should be self explanatory. Make sure you use descriptive names, like 'Jakes iphone 3GS' or Bens ipod touch 1g.

Now when you want to send out a build, make an AD HOC build (follow the excellent instructions on the wiki) and tick the relevant devices you want to send the build out to.

You should get a provisioning profile and a build of your app. Send these to your testers and tell them to drag the two files into itunes and sync their device with iTunes.

That should be it!

Hope that helps!

I guess you can follow the Ad Hoc instructions on the Apple developer site or here: http://gamesalad.com/wiki/developing_for_iphone:preparing_for_build

Be sure to check out the Apple publisher instructions too. Hope that helps.
