this is how i was told to make running app to send by email:
it no longer works this way? i desperately need to send my app to someone...and not with test flight.

open your project in GS
Publish … to Macintosh
and click through the Publish screens
(you will need to add a 512x512 icon and a 1280x800 screenshot
…you will probably want the icon … if not it can be a transparent png in the correctSize
… and the screenShot can be a transparent png in the correctSize)

-leave the Publish to app store … unchecked
-do not have full-screen … unless you want that (Advanced Options)

GS will build and give you back a running app for desktop
that will open in the platformSize (iPhone; iPad; whatever) you chose
(don't fret the touch input also respond to the mouse click)

email (compress/zip if largeSize) the app to your friend for their play on a Mac

That should work... Try running the app on your Mac first and then email it. (Make sure to compress it )

Hi - thanks for reply!!! this process doesn't work anymore as am taken to a different page when i press publish. i really need a new step by step guide that will take me through ...please if anyone has done this recently - I would be so grateful!!

Ok so here is what you need to do to get the file:
1. Go onto the GameSalad project and click publish
2. When the page loads login and click the project you want to update (or make a new one)
3. If you need to fill out any information then do so and then click generate
4. Wait and in a minute or two, refresh your page.
5. You should have a message in the mac tab saying the file was generated. If so then click download project. Then your done!

hi - yes do get a file but not one that mac says it can't open..

Ok, so question, are you trying to publish to iPhone or Mac? Because both give you the same type of file (.app) but only one is executable on mac,

I want to be able to send the file to a mac.

After clicking publish
new project
I click Mac from column down the side?
fill out mac settings and then generate
the file sent to back says - file not supported on this type of mac
