edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I've almost finished building my App and although I have been testing it with the GS Viewer and building the App on my own iphone I now want to create the Ad Hoc Build so I can pass it onto a few friends to Beta test on various itouch and iphones.

When I try to follow the instructions on how to create a Ad Hoc Build it just goes to a coming soon page?

Can someone tell me how/ or where there are instructions on how I can do this.

Thanks

    Right in itunes it pretty much tells you.
    Cant really give you details, but if you go into Program Portal -> Distribution - > Ad Hoc , this is what it tells you.
    Hope this helps. :)

    *Create and Download an iPhone Distribution Certificate.
    (Program Portal -> certificates -> distribution)
    http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/certificates/team/distribute.action

    *Create and Download an Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile
    (Program Portal -> Provisioning -> Distribution)
    http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/provisioningprofiles/viewDistributionProfiles.action

    *Build your application

    *Share your application file and the Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile with the owner of each device

    *Recipients of the application will need to drag the application file and Ad Hoc Distribution Provisioning Profile into iTunes, then sync their iPhone to iTunes to install

    Oh BTW, whats an itouch O.o

    Thank you for your help. Is it true that pc users cannot acept a .app file and I remember Reading somewhere that it had to be converted into something like a .ipa file to be brought into a pc iTunes for ad hoc builds?

    Im not really sure of this information, for me the .app file turns into a file folder so it might very well be true. Id do some google and make sure just in case.

    a pc user can not drag the app-file at the itunes-icon (it will not get recognized) but he can open itunes and drag the app-file into his application-folder...
    did't made the experience on my own , but i have been told it works this way...
