Ad Hoc Testing With iOS Devices

charliejrosenthal

Hi Creators,

I am attempting to begin ad hoc testing for iOS devices through Xcode, but I'm running into a problem when I export my game via GameSalad Creator in .APP format. For some reason, the file that is generated by Creator is not recognized by Xcode. Why might this be?

Your input and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Have you visited the iOS provisioning portal and set up your certificates?

Have you visited the iOS provisioning portal and set up your certificates?

All iOS provisioning portals and certificates have been set up accordingly.

The problem is not with the certificates, but with the ability of Xcode to recognize the file generated by GS Creator. The .APP file generated appears to have a circle/slash through the icon. I am operating the latest versions of Mountain Lion and Xcode.

Any thoughts on what this might mean?

Hold on, I see what you meant, but why are you trying to open an .APP file in Xcode? (it's not a xcode project format). The reason the .APP file shows up with a "banned ?" is that it is not a recognizable/runnable format for OSX.

Drag it to your itunes app library and sync it to your test device. You can also do this (and additional devices) via the Xcode organizer.

The video is slightly outdated now a days but its still pretty close I believe. Testflight makes adhoc testing super easy for everyone involved.
