Hi, I have just finished my game on my windows PC and I am planning to get a Mac so I can publish it. Also I have to get the developer account, but i am unsure if porting it to mac will work properly. I don't want to buy a developer account and then find out i can't even publish the game. Can someone tell me if porting will work and how to make sure.

Thanks in advance.

    Any help would be great and the title is meant to be Transfering from Windows to Mac. I couldn't work out how to change it.

    @Sparx13 - Yes you can port the game to Mac from Windows! I will be making a video on how to do that soon.

    @utopianGames Unless I misunderstood how your tool works. It only goes from PC to Mac. This guy is wanting to go from Mac to Windows.

    I've used my mac project file on my windows machine, strictly to test. However, if you are like most everyone that has a mac, you will want to vomit at the thought of using your windows machine again.

    I have transferred my Mac project file to Windows, and everything worked just fine. The only problems i hit was when I went to re-size the game to iPad size, it would not do it right.

    And it didn't matter if i re-sized it on the Mac first, or re-sized it when I went to Windows, the controls were all off on the re-size. Everything stayed at it's original iPhone sized positioning, but tucked down in the bottom left corner, while the graphics were all sized properly. It was like it was iPhone sized, and just placed in a 1024x768 sized scene, down in the corner at 480x360. Haven't found a work around yet, either. And I tried lots of things.

    New Mac to Windows Video. I actually didn't have to modify anything to make it work it just seems to work now.
