About uploading to Appstore!

rebmemo

Hi, I am new here. Here is my question. Can I make an app with Gamesalad an then put it on the appstore without being a Pro member?
And do I need a Mac to upload it to AppStore? Because I see that GameSalad is for Windows too.... But I cant understand how can I upload it to The AppStore with a windows PC...

You don't need to be a pro member to upload to the App Store but you do need Pro if you want to add things like Game Centre or in app purchases to your game/app. You will need an Apple Developer license before you can get your game on your device and release it to the App Store.

You don't need a Mac to build your app but you will need access to one to package it up as it requires Mac only software like Xcode. You can't package up your game for an iOS device without a Mac

you can make and design a game using any version of gamesalad, although the mac version is updated more often.

in order to actually publish to iTunes you do need a mac to sign and upload the app. That's an apple requirement. You could use macincloud.com or use a friends machine.

Either one of those would run GS fine, go with what you can afford.
