Gamesalad Viewer Help

in Working with GS (Mac)
PLease help. I am trying to test a project on my iPad running 6.1 and, while the Gamesalad logo appears on my device after connecting it and running it with X-code, no button appears next to the preview button at the top of the gamesalad menu which would let me test out the contents of the game.

Is this an issue with something I'm doing, or perhaps is it because the current version of gamesalad does not support iOS 6.1?
Plz help and thanks

    Please ensure that there is a green circle at the Top-Right corner of your device, saying that the device is connected to WIFI

    Yes, my iPad and my Mac are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network :(

    I tried logging out and back in again and the test on iPad button still won't show up in the gamesalad project menu.

    This is looking to be a bug.

    Re-download and Re-install GameSalad Creator (you can still keep your project file!)

    Re-download the Viewer.

    See if that helps.

    Oh, you can just delete the GameSalad App and you're file will stay 100% Safe. If you want to be extremely meticulously safe, you can upload it to dropbox.com or put it on a flash drive.


    Re-installing usually fixes a lot of different things.

    is there any other way of testing games besides using the viewer?
  • Zenith_GameworksZenith_Gameworks Member Posts: 310
    This is really strange that the game salad icon is popping up fullscreen after I press build and run in xcode but the test button in gamesalad isnt showing up

    Yeah, you can make an Ad Hoc build, which are much more accurate representations of how your game will truly run on your device.

    Here, watch this-

    Hmm. Let me try
  • Zenith_GameworksZenith_Gameworks Member Posts: 310
    At the step where he says by clicking myadhoc.provision, instead of opening Xcode and leading me to that page, it shows that my provisioning profile is unknown. DO you think I should just start over and remove whatever I have under my bundle identifier and create a new app id and profile just for the ad hoc?

    Help anyone?

    Why are you using Xcode? Once the viewer is installed on device you don't need to use Xcode anymore.

    What do you mean? I thought the viewer works together with X-code to show the app on the device
