@TshirtBooth and other mods, problems beta testing on device

Devils

First off I would like to say congrats to all the new mods on the forums you guys deserve it. Now I am going to ask for some help to anyone on the forums that could help me out. I have finished my app and am trying to send it to my iPhone 3Gs to beta test it before sending it to Apple for reviewing but I can't. I have watched your video tsb but still can't get it to work I even read through the Apple user guide and still nothing when I try to run the GS viewer I get a message telling me that the iPhone version I have is an up to date version and cannot work with the one I have both my device and the GS viewer are on the latest version so I don't know whats going on. Can someone please help me out?

Edit by BeyondtheTech: I've modified your title so that it would be more descriptive and helpful to others who can chime in to help.

what version of xcode do you have installed?

Devils

It says 4.0 and my iPhone is version 4.1 (8B117)

jonmulcahy

I'm pretty sure you need the xcode SDK 4.1 to connect to a phone with 4.1 on it. Upgrade it and try again.

Devils

Alright I am downloading the new 4.1 SDK. It should work after this correct? Also if I send the app to my iPhone do I have to have an icon created for it first? If so, can you tell me where I can find someone to make a simple one for me? So I could send it to my iPhone for testing.

Devils

Well I installed the SDK and still nothing is there anything else I can try?

Do you have an appropriate provisioning profile? I know if you don't have a one to test with you can't put it on your iDevice.

Devils

I'm pretty sure I have the correct one I did watch the tsb video recommended by GS and I did everything he did.

jonmulcahy

delete all your profiles and start again, that's where you problem lies.

Devils

I have done this 2x already as well as installed Xcode. I still get the same message could it be something with GS? This is frustrating I just payed for the software and I can't even get it to run. Hopefully I can come up with a solution.

jonmulcahy

it's not GS, it's apple's side of things 100%. GS is completely independent from xcode.

In the other thread someone noticed you've got xcode 3.2.3 installed, you need 3.2.4. If you open xcode and in the tool bar click on About, it should look something like this what does your's say?

Devils

Mine says this I don't know why.
Xcode
Version 4.0
Build 4A119a

That's what I see I got most of the issue fixed somehow I don't know but I can't get the GS iPhone viewer to show up you know right after TSB says in the video make sure we have it on WiFi. Actually I also noticed yours says 64-bit mine doesn't either but that could be you have a 64-bit OS and I have 32-bit. I would love to actually speak to someone over the phone.

My cell #: (574)-320-7491 it's an AT&T. If you don't want to call me I can call you just send me the number by text to the above number.

This was mentioned to you higher up in this thread. You can't use Xcode 4.0, it is beta software and obviously GS viewer won't work from it. Install 3.2.4.

Here is the link once you are logged into developer.apple.com

http://developer.apple.com/ios/download.action?path=/ios/ios_sdk_4.1__final/xcode_3.2.4_and_ios_sdk_4.1.dmg

Devils

This is the one I installed for some reason it keeps telling me that I have 4.0.. Do you think maybe it updates while installing?

jonmulcahy

follow these instructions to uninstall xcode 4.0. Then download the right version above and install it:

I expect you now have both versions of Xcode installed and are just starting the wrong one!

Xcode 4 should be in /Xcode4
Xcode 3.2.4 should be in /Developer/Applications

this assumes that you haven't altered the standard installers.

(those instructions won't work for 4 and I dont think you should touch terminal just yet )

Devils

Alright after doing all of this uninstalling the Xcode 4 and installing 3.2.4 I am now getting 1 build error within the Xcode when I try to run the GS viewer please anyone help me out. The error reads There is no SDK with the name or path 'iphoneos4.0' This shows up in red right after I hit build and Run.

Devils

@TSB You sir are a genius thank you. I finally can see my app on the device. Can I actually take it with me on the go or do I have to be plug-in via usb? I already found like 3 bugs.

Devils

Now if I start on on my next game all I do is follow those exact instructions and I'll always be able load them on my iphone correct. I would assume so since the viewer is up and running now. OMG! I am so excited you don't even know this has been a long time dream of mine to make games actually for console not phone devices. Everyone starts somewhere and I want to thank you all on the forums for your great help and I swear I will not let you guys down from here on out since I know how to use the GS viewer and GS a little bit, I will be making some sweet stuff. Ian will be starting on something new we've been talking about for the last month. When I am ready to post some pictures you guys here will be the first to enjoy them. Can't wait till after work tomorrow.
