GameSalad Creator Not Found on Network, help!

I got the game salad viewer working on my iPhone, but whenever I try to get it to connect to the game salad creator, it doesn't work. I've tried restarting both devices (iPhone 4s and mac) multiple times but nothing seems to fix it. It always just says "GameSalad Creator Not Found on Network". But YES, they are definitely on the same network.

I've followed every step here, http://cookbook.gamesalad.com/tutorials/3/parts/61, very carefully and also looked at some videos on youtube for help.

Does anyone know what the problem is?! Thanks!

    Hey @xGrandx,
    It's possible you are running an older version of viewer compared to the creator. Make sure you are launching the correct viewer for the correct creator!

    I just checked and the viewer and creator are up to date. Any idea on what else could be the problem?

    Also, whenever I build the GameSaladViewer.xcodeproj in xcode, i get a pop up that says "codesign wants to sign using key "key" in your keychain. Not sure if this could be related to the problem or not. Thanks.

    bump. Still having this issue, does anyone else have any suggestions?

    Could it be something related to the wifi not allowing my phone and mac to be connected?

    Ok I have the same problem BUT mine WAS working for the last week! And now suddenly it's stopped communicating?! Same network as before... same devices... same creator... they've just stopped communicating! I've tried restarting Computer and iPad / iPhone. I've even rebuilt the gamesalad creator on the devices... AND redownloaded gamesalad creator! But no fix. Any ideas?!?!?!?

    Make sure both creator and the viewer are the same version, often times i update creator and forget about downloading the most recent viewer to go with it. Another thing to try is turning off, and back on your device.

    Sometimes when I update the iOS viewer I'll connect my device to my Mac with the charging cord the first time I send a build to it. It should work wirelessly after that.

    Thanks for your advice but neither worked. Tried redownloading and building the latest viewer... and restarting phone again. Still Not found.

    I can't think of anything else to try - can anyone?

    @blendnzjnr This has just happened to me too. Been working fine no problems for the past few months, but i was working on a project today and suddenly they just stopped connecting. The little iPhone icon next to the Preview button just doesn't appear anymore, even when the Viewer is open. I changed nothing, it just happened out of nowhere. Tried reinstalling the Viewer, shutting down iPhone and iMac, nothings worked. You found a fix for this yet?

    Nevermind, reset my router and it fixed itself. when in doubt, turn everything off and on again :)
