How can I test my game?

InovaTech

hello guys
I have a nice game and I would like to test it on my ipad 1. I did not find this app in appstore (Utilize GameSalad’s In-App Previewer to test your game) how can i download that in my ipad?
thanks for taking your time.

you have to use the gamesalad viewer to test iAP.

Use this tutorial and follow all the steps

Then you have to make a sandbox gamecenter account, so you can buy your iAP without actually paying money.

Follow this tutorial for gamecenter

You also need to sign up as an Apple Developer ($99/year) to test your ideas on your iPad.

so basically I have to pay:
-$299/year GameSalad pro user
-$99/year to be a Apple Developer
and thats it? I pay that money and I can now publish my games on appstore?

You don't need a $299/year GameSalad pro user account to publish on App Store.

You only need a $99 Apple Developer account.
