Publishing iOS app for testing

djv1120

I am sure there are good directions for this somewhere, but I can't seem to find them. I have created a game using a template and am ready to create the iOS files. I have been trying all evening to get all the certificates and provisioning profiles I need, but am still having problems. Are there detailed directions somewhere on exactly what I need to do to create the file I can install on my phone to test.

Thanks so much,
Dave

Make sure you put a provisioning profile on your phone and then just drag the app onto iTunes and sync the device.

djv1120,

Where are you specifically having problems? How far are you making it through the process? If you provide a little more information I may be able to help.

Push the tutorials link in my signature and I have videos on iOS publishing..

Frying Bacon - I will check out the videos. Hopefully that will help. I know I am only missing something small.

Gannuscio - I followed the directions and added a little bit that I know from a different app making software when the Cookbook was vague or different from what Apple currently looks like. When I am signing the app with my Ad Hoc provisioning certificate, I get the message "Could not code sign because there is no developer identity matching the selected provisioning profile." I believe I have followed all the steps, but don't know how to attach the identity to the ad hoc file.

OK, I have been able to finish the signing process and have downloaded the app. Now, how do I get it onto my phone?

I am going to update my videos as it seems many people are having issues.

Thanks so much for all the help. I've got the game on my phone and am debugging. I feel kinda dumb asking all the questions, but I am trying to learn how to use my first Mac as well as how to do all the app development. I think as I get more confident with my iMac I will be able to figure things out easier.

I am going to close this question for now, but will probably be back when it comes time to publish . . . lol
