Hi Guys,
This is going to sound quite stupid, but need some help. I finished my little game but I do not have a provisioning profile; Apple is requesting me to wait 3 to 5 days and asked me for some paperwork since I am outside USA, I need to publish my game for tomorrow because this is not for sale, its just a little app for a humble marketing campaign. What can I do? Man I'm gonna get shot. Is there another way to do this? it does not matter if I have to pay :(

    No, sorry. You could upload to html5 to show them. But as far as publishing an adhoc to show them on your device, you'll need your provisiong profile.

    just about to say html would work

    If it's a free app you shouldn't have to wait...
  • JohnPapiomitisJohnPapiomitis Member Posts: 6,256
    @ TouchTilt I think he has to wait for his developer account to activate, so he has access to the provisiong portal.

    Yes I need to wait many days, I'm in Costa Rica and Apple store is not available here to complete the purchase so I would need to wait about 5 business days , I'm gonna get killed

    How much time do you have to wait in USA to get your account approved?

    You could ask someone with a developer account to publish for you, just send them the GS file . . . . ?

    @ Tynan

    Hes creating it for a marketing campaign for someone, so i dont think they would want him sending the file to some random person.

    @franken

    If i remember correctly it was a couple hours after i purchased my dev account that it was active(usa). It then took another day to have the paid contract approved, but you dont need that to build an adhoc or submit a free app to itunes.

    well its seems to be send it to someone or get it late...
  • franken2778franken2778 Member Posts: 54
    Its just a desperate expression RKS, nobody will kill me, its just I'm overwhelmed and running against time, I could send that but if the brand knows about it or the guy who hired probably I will be out of a promising business now that I know how to make some apps.

    i hope we hear from you again..

    there's is no way you'll get your app on the appstore for sure, even if you got approved for the sales contract right a way, you still have to wait for approval of the app.. i know exactly how you feel... devastated.. i had the exactly same situation happened to me... i begged and begged,and the reviewer just won't bulge... and apple could careless if your life depended on it... at the end... i end up just saying i'm sorry to the person... what can you do you tried.... and in the end life goes on (well that's hope that you are not dealing with the Costa Rican mafia lol)

    I do not need it to be on the store ultima, is just an adhoc build what I need , this will ne intalled in 4 or 5 iPads and then it won't be used again, that's sad my friend
  • franken2778franken2778 Member Posts: 54
    Do I need a full Apple developer account to build an adhoc?
  • ultimaultima Member, PRO Posts: 1,207

    an adhoc you can find someone to build for you, as long as you are not doing it all the time i'm sure GS won't mind, in fact they probably would tell you the same thing because eventually you'll need to buy the membership anyway.

    what you need to do is to email your file to a reputable PRO member in here, with your UDID and they can email you back your adhoc file.. and when everything is a go, just go ahead and sign up for PRO (i'm assuming, this is for business, if having the GS splash screen is not even an issue, there's plenty of people here that can probably help you with that.)

    or. you can ask someone to build a profile for you with your UDID... i think that'll work as well..

    "Hes creating it for a marketing campaign for someone, so i dont think they would want him sending the file to some random person.'

    Oh I see, good point, that wouldn't look very professional.

    Guys thanks a lot for your kind comments; my sister lives in Florida and she created an account for me from there so I have access now (I paid for it of course); I talked with the guy that hired me and he is ok to wait till Thursday si I have time tomorrow to figure out the right steps to build an adhoc, I need to download some stuff from my dev account so I can export with Gamesalad right? Any enlightenment will be extremely appreciated. Thanks again guys, this community is by far the best all over the web, you all are great ^:)^

    Oh man! I can´t believe it, now apple is requesting me all kind of notarized paperwork to activate my dev account, I was charged already but I´m not in the USA so probably they think people in my country cannot afford $99, they are a piece of art, I can smell Bill Gates' poison spreading all over Apple´s floor , they are taking the Microsoft path already and we know where this train is headed, one of these days you will need to install a $5000 chip in your right arm if you want to be able to buy use an Imac, I know these little silver machines work more than great but come on! Anyway, I accept rules are rules but its kind of discouraging, cannot publish my game tonight just for being outside USA friends,

    Like tshirt said you either registered as a business, or if you registered as personal the credit card you paid with does not have the exact name as the your name on the dev account so they need to verify your identity.

    I did it as a personal account TSB, they just said they are unable to validate my personal information, I know they have to take security measures (I'm a Fraud Dept Manager for 5 online casinos- thats my primary job for the last decade) I know about fraud and I know they are right at some point but for a developer enrollment?
    I want to become a developer because I like it, Í've been a part time webdesigner and php developer , we know apps are taking over the market and I do not want to be left behind as per Technology refers, but it is really a headache. Probably I'm kind of mad but anyway I will fulfill their requirements, hopefully it will worth the headache. Thanks TSB and guys anyway for reading and commenting... [-(

    I think you have probably just fallen foul of some automated system that simply needs to make perfectly reasonable checks - rather than you are the victim of some racist corporate plot against non-Americans. Lol !


    ;)

    Thanks guys, yes Tynan, John, TSB I know the possible reasons, and LOL! I know this is not a racist attack, things have to be the way they have to be. I'm sending notarized paperwork today and hopefully everything will be accepted. I'll let you know the end of the story. Have a good one fellas! [-O<
  • franken2778franken2778 Member Posts: 54
    Hey Guys, I was approved by Apple today, I sent notarized paperwork and they approved it so my developer account is now active \m/
  • MotherHooseMotherHoose Member Posts: 2,456
    @franken2778 … this is like reading the script for a soapOpera!

    now that you are active …
    sure you will want Apple to weed-out those developers who abuse our apps with clones/theft and other fraudulent activity!

    thanx for keeping us updated!
