Ad Hoc to other devices wirelessly... free?

jckmcgraw

Hello Everybody,

Is there a way to give a demo of your app to beta testers wirelessly? I can put it on people's devices, but they have to connect their device to my computer and it has to go through XCode. It's quite a hassle to have them come to my house every time I have a major update.

Thanks,
Jack McGraw

@jonmulcahy How do I create an IPA from GS? I am looking at testflight's help guide, but it is all in XCode

jonmulcahy

publish your app using a development provisioning profile. take the published game and drop it in a folder called Payload. then zip that folder up and rename it game.ipa

that's it

@jonmulcahy so it doesn't have to be in XCode?

jonmulcahy

nope, i use it all the time.

@jonmulcahy I don't know why I'm having so much difficulty here. Maybe you can catch what I'm doing wrong...

-I created a folder on my desktop called "Payload"
-I renamed it to "Payload.zip"
-I dragged my "app.app" into "Payload.zip"
-I changed "Payload.zip" to "app.ipa"

jonmulcahy

create a folder on your desktop called Payload
drag your app.app into Payload
right click on payload and choose compress
rename payload.zip to app.ipa

One more question... So I have gotten flighttest working thanks to you, and saw they have a nice SDK to go along with it. It looked like you had to install it through XCode. Anyway to do it with GS?

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Jack,

unfortunately, no, you can't use their SDK with GS. it would be nice to have the implement it though!

Ok. Thanks though
