Question about testing

IsabelleK

Hello!
I get a reply from GS team, about problems with GS Viewer (it's crashing everytime with every project, on iOS 5). They said, that GS team is aware about this issue, and they are working to solve it. Great reply, but...
It can be fixed next month, and I can't wait. My new game is ready, and I only need to test it (if it's not crashing on the device).
It's pretty simple - I can make an adhoc build and test it on the device (I would see if the game is crashing or not). But, I have only non Retina devices, and I'm afraid about RAM usage for Retina images.
I'm just wondering it that would work:
if I make an iPhone adhoc (with Resolution Independence turned OFF, but with Retina size images), and test it on my iPad 1, to see if it will crash.
Is this make any sense? Does maximum RAM usage for iPad 1 is the same as for iPhone 4?

Thank you for any replies!

Well, you could do that I suppose, but why do you want to test retina graphics on a none-retina display? The devices with Retina compatibility have better processors anyway, so would handle the images better. Just ad hoc a retina version on a friends device or someone on here.

Ah, I just re-read. The iPhone 4 and iPad 1 are similar in RAM usage, but I would still want to see an iPhone 4 running retina before I submitted.
