Newbie GS viewer question..

hrsmedia

So when you purchase a GS license you get access to the GS viewer, right? Now does the GS viewer only work on a device? (iphone/ipod/ipad) Or can you run it on your mac to test the app?

The reason I ask is because I don't have an iphone/ipodtouch yet, so I was wondering if it's possible to test the app on my mac only initially... I know you can do a web preview to test it.

Also if this is possible, how accurate is testing in GS viewer compared to on a device. I know you can't beat testing on the actual device, but I will try to do that through friends and such, until I get my own...

Or have I got this all wrong? Do I test using the apple sdk solution, I have not purchased any licenses yet, so I don't know how this all works...

Thanks in advance!

You can test on Mac but you got to download sdk from apple then buil and run viewer in Xcode start ur game in gs then at top of gs screen click to view on Mac and it will show in the simulator I find it more accurate but on device best

Thanks for the response, that clears things up a bit.
The iphone SDK only works on Snow Leopard and not normal Leopard, right?

4.0 only snow I'm pretty sure
Not sure about 3.2

I don't suppose there is a step by step guide anywhere on how to test on the device is there? I've downloaded the SDK and have my ipod touch connected...now I'm lost on what I need to do. I'm such a noob. :-(

Never mind. I'm retarded and did not think to look on the Gendai Games Youtube channel.
