Test your app for Android directly on device

in Working with GS (PC)

I have the free version of GameSalad and I'd like to try it. I want to build a small application for Android (Samsung Note 10.1) and I'd like to test this application directly in the device. My question is: "is it possible to test the app directly in the device ?". In my computer I have installed only GameSalad. Do I have to install other software to test it in my device ?

    If you're on wifi it is not necessary to install the android SDK. Just connect your phone with your wifi and make sure your computer is connected to the same router. do you use mac or windows?

    I have installed the last version (free) on my computer (Windows 8.1).
    I have Installed on my device (Samsung Note 10.1) the GSViewer.apk

    I have connect my device via wi-fi mode but I have the message following:

    But the main question is:

    why in GameSalad I have only this option to create a project and I haven't the option for Android ?

    I have read the instruction following:

    but in the GameSalad creator I don't see the following options:

    Please someone can you help me ?

    Please, can you confirm this sentence:

    "Android build/testing is only availible to pro users.
    The free version is only for IOS." ?

    Now I'm sure.

    If you read the page at this link:

    http://cookbook.gamesalad.com/tutorials/7/parts/41

    you will know that:

    Windows Creator is NOT compatible with the Viewer software

    Now, I want a tool smart and I don't like to install in my computer version of Mac as Hackmac and I don't wont to buy a Mac to develop.

    I'm sorry but I will leave this tool.

    I think that I'll use Unity.....
    Bye and good luck.
