Is an Adhoc build perfectly safe to send around without it being hacked?

Just wondering if anyone knows how secure Adhoc builds of an app is, if I send one out I don't want them to be able to open the package and some how open the project in GameSalad and make a version themselves.

I'm sure its fine otherwise everyones games would be being copied all the time.

I want to be able to get some beta testers testing my game...

Cheers

    yeah its safe from the aspect of reverse engineering to a gamesalad project. Not sure if the installous hackers could make that a viable download for all or not. prob not since it would still be limited to the devices in its provisioning profile. but heck if you could reverse engineer an app to a gamesalad project think of the apps you could so easily copy. LOL angry birds, cut the rope, ..etc.

    LOL indeed...

    I was only meaning games that were made with GameSalad that could be reverse engineered...as I thought project sort of stays intact, keeping image folders and stuff within the APP file...

    Not worried about the game making it on hackers jailbroken phones, as its not very finished yet, and if they can do it with the full version there's no big extra loss if they do it with an Adhoc version.

    Thanks for the reply though, my mind is now at peace.

    well I hadn't ever thought of that. I just looked and I guess the .gameproj still looks intact inside there. guess I would be careful who you send it to.
    Maybe it can be reopened. Send me your adhoc and i'll try. LOL just kidding.

    There are lots of trustworthy people on here though. so I dont think I would worry to much.

    Ok I just opened up an old app store build I had of my game and went though it. If you open the gameproj in GS everythings there but its not. all the scenes are there but they are just white. all the actors are there but they are just white. when you preview you get nothing but a blank screen. Further digging in the gameproj all of the images are white the xml files for each scene dont appear to have any rules or anything in them.
