How do you sign the app?

liamo

I have submitted my app to Apple through application loader, But i just got an email saying that I need to sign my app, how do I do this with gamesalad? Please Help!

Did you upload your game to GameSalad's publishing servers? Their servers are what signs your app with the provisioning profile you specify.

I had a publshing tutorial video kicking around somewhere outlining all the steps... Ok here it is: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/35093/the-complete-publishing-guide-by-jack-leonard
Try and follow those exact steps

liamo

Just tried but it didn't work. It says invalid signature, yet I used my distribution certificate. What am I doing wrong!

LeonardDeveloper

Go into Xcode go to where all your profiles are when you click on them is there a yellow hazard banner on the top?

liamo

no, nothing.

Ok then it's a common issue..... Its happened to me loads....
You're not going to like what's coming!
Delete everything
Delete your Cerys from your keychain and delete them from developer.apple.com
Delete all your provisioning profiles
Start again.... IN THE ORDER BELOW IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU FOLLOW THE ORDER BELOW THE TINIEST MISTAKE OUTS EVERYTHING OUT OF WHACK


Publishing your gamesalad game to Apple:
• LOG IN TO IOS PROVISIONING PORTAL
• Do everything in this order:
• create certificates
,
• download and install certificates,
• 
create application ID's,
• 
create Provisioning Profiles (DISTRIBUTION + DEVELOPMENT)
• GO INTO THE GS CREATOR, SELECT PUBLISH:
• PUBLISH TO WHATEVER DEVICE,
• ENTER IN ALL YOUR DETAILS,
• WHEN IT SAYS CHOOSE; PROVISIONING PROFILE MAKE SURE YOU USE YOUR DISTRIBUTION PROVISIONING PROFILE, IF YOU WANT TO PUBLISH TO IOS STRAIGHT AWAY AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT ONE IF YOU WANT TO PUBLISH TO TESTING ON YOUR IPHONE,
• NOW PRESS PUBLISH AND WAIT..
• ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR APP FROM THE GS CREATOR MAKE YOUR APP IN ITUNES CONNECT AND THEN UPLOAD YOUR FILE THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE GS CREATOR USING THE APPLICATION LOADER (YOUR FILE MUST BE ZIPPED, YOU CAN FIND THE APPLICATION LOADER BY SEARCHING YOUR MAC FOR IT, YOU MUST HAVE A NEW VERSION OF XCODE INSTALLED FOR APPLICATION LOADER.

@liamo: I've had to do something similar to what Jack described, and while its not fun, it should fix your problem.

@LeonardDeveloper: You've been typing with caps lock on again haven't you

LeonardDeveloper

@osucowboy18
On my iMacs keyboard the caps button is sticky and broken (I didn't type it with this)
On my MacBook pros keyboard there is an idiot who uses it (me) who forgets turn the caps lock off (me) (i used it to type this)
@liamo
I know it's painful...... But after it works it will be worth all the effort!, we've all been through this.....a after your first app it's easier because you don't have to do all this again!

liamo

uploading now, crossing my fingers *Gulp* Thanks for all your help guys.
