GS Viewer setup for IPOD

jasongreeno

So I was following along with TSB's tutorial for setting up the IPHONE viewer, certificates, xcode etc and realized that I probably need slightly different instructions to get this to work on my IPOD.

Problems:

1) there is no plist
2) During the code signing step what should I do to get the profile to match? it is currently greyed out.

You no longer need to enter the BI in the plist...

click get info, type in code sign, and see if it matches with your device. If it does, then just click build at the top, and don't forget to set at device and release

I'm getting the message "profile doesn't match any valid certificate/private key pair in the default key chain"

The certificte creation process seemed to go smoothly.

don't worry about the plist.

you need to create 2 certificates, development and distribution. follow the guides on the iphone portal.
download them and install them
then create a new provisioning profile (you'll probably need a new appid)
download that and install it on your phone by double clicking on it.

then it should work.

the tutorial works, if it fails, delete everything, and start over from scratch. read every step TWICE before you do it.

it's a HUGE pain in the ass, but it does work, eventually. when i first started this 2 years ago, it took me 3 weeks to get it setup. Now I can do it in 15 minutes.

Jon, Thank you.

I stumbled onto this thread that got it to work:

I highly recommend using the Provisioning Assistant.

I wanted to cry when I saw my first game running on my ipod. This is amazing.
