in Working with GS (Mac)

I bought mac in cloud and I found out that had to use testflight for me to view my game. I've never really used a mac because my family has been a windows user for ever. So How would I view it on my ipod touch? I already bought the 99 dollars thing and all that good stuff. I tried to follow videos but apparently app has updated the "dev center" so all that "provisioning portal" buttons on the upper right of the page is no longer there and xcode is super to use for me. I'm done with my completely I want to test it out and get it out on the market. Please help I only have 6 days left of the Mac in cloud & I told my dad that should be plenty of time.

    @jonmulcahy‌ I tried to follow it but when its comes to the IPA it doesn't work. &they don't have updated videos on the new dev interface. Which is completely different

    If you have the .app file from the publishing and signing process, you can use that to make an ipa. You just need to take the .app and put it in a new folder called Payload, once in the folder right click and compress the folder. Then add the extension .ipa to the compressed folder (renaming to Payload.ipa usually does the trick) so you have Payload.ipa, that should be able to be used on testflight.

    @natzuur So i have to publish my app on game salad and when I do it'll give me the "application" folder i've been looking for??!?!?!

    Publish game, generate, sign. You will then get an .app file. Put that in a folder called Payload and compress it. Rename it to Game.ipa (Replace Game with your game name)
    Then upload the ipa file to testflight.

    Yes, fill out the info, click generate, wait for it to complete. Publish the app and follow the steps to get the ipa.

    @bjandthekatz it makes no sense cause on my computer I can clearly see I have an app upload but when I get on my iPod it says something like "there's no apps" which makes no sense whats so ever ! >:o . And when I send my self the link on my email to my iPod so I can install it, it says something like "go on an iDevice to install the beta" which makes no sense because Im on my iPod and I did it through safari. Maybe its because how my provision profile is set up on Xcode. Hows you're set up like how do you set yours up. I thinks that problem for sure but I have no clue how to use it. I set the thing to iOS and everything

  • bjandthekatzbjandthekatz Orlando, FlMember Posts: 1,375

    Did you add your device to the profile? After you add your device to it, download it then install it. Use this to sign your app and upload it to testflight.

    @bjandthekatz I think I found my problem bro! :) Okay when you open up Xcode for your provisioning profile. On the top where it says "Build Settings" and when you go down to "Code Signing" then at the bottom you see "Provisioning Profile" then you click it do you see "Debug" and "Release" What should I add in it or should I leave it as "None"? I think my problem is how my provisioning profile in Xcode is set up

    Can you tell me how you set up your Xcode? @bjandthekatz‌
