Looking for a *trustable* person to help me test 2 of my apps.

Hi all,

I've been away for a while. I have 2 projects that was made on an old version (like a year and a half ago!?) of GS. And I don't currently have a developer account.

So, before I continue working on them I want to learn if they even work on devices.

They are NOT working on GS Preview on Mac, but weirdly, they DO work on Windows GS. So I really wonder if I need to trash them or keep working on them unless I enroll for iOS Dev Program. (In about 10days)

All I want to do is not spend these 10 days sitting and waiting, so I need one of you to just launch my projects and see if they are working on the device.

1 of them is in Turkish and it is 90% complete. 1 of them is in ~30% and it is a game. I would really really appreciate the help!

So tell me if you're up for it and I'll upload the projects for ya!

Thanks a LOT in advance :)

    Are you trying to start a flame war? At least give a day for people to answer. You have posted this thread at 2 AM!! Most people would be sleeping at that time..

    Alright than I'll wait a few more hours. Note that this topic was already on 2nd page when I posted that. I'll wait for a little more and post that back. Let's see what will happen.

    You may be risking ALOT when you are asking for services like these. There are high chances someone might scam you, or worse still, 'steal' your app and publish it as their own. Are you giving the entire gameproj file to the person to test? (yes, right?).
    If so beware of scammers.

    Perhaps if you posted screenshots or told a bit about the apps others would be more inclined to help...?

    I don't see the point in that. All I want to know is if they run at all, or just crash without even starting. I don't want anyone to do a play-test. But here it goes;

    I actually didn't respond because I wasn't sure how you were planning on sharing them. To use TestFlight, you have to have a developer's account. If you share the project file, besides the risk of theft that was mentioned, the tester would have to install an adhoc version to get an accurate read on it. I can help out if you like but I only have an iPhone 3GS and iPad 2.

    In general, I am against these sorts of requests because it's almost never as simple as "just see if this runs." If it sort of works, you may want to know why or you may want the person to do further testing.

    I also think of the Creator Preview as a sort of gateway to possible performance on devices. In other words, if it works in Preview, there's a chance it will work in the iOS Viewer on a device. If it works in the iOS Viewer, there's a chance it will work in an adhoc version on a device. You're already starting with something that doesn't work in Preview so there's a slim chance it will work anywhere else. But I understand you're saying it works in Windows and that's why you need to test it elsewhere.

    @tatiang

    I understand your points and concerns but since these projects are almost 2 years old, I really want to see if it runs at all or not.

    I'll just wait until I sort problems out between me and Apple to see if I'll trash them or not than. I just got an e-mail saying all will be sorted in at most 5 business days, so not as long as I expected.

    Thanks anyway tho!

    (I wasn't going to ask you to further investigate the cause of problems :p)
    (And I wanted to send project files)
    (And no need for an adhoc build. I wanted you to just press "Preview on XXX's iPhone" button on GS. [if it still exists of course. been 2 years since I last used the software, remember? :P] )

    Again, thanks everyone, but I'll be okay. (If Apple keeps his promise -_-)
