PC provisioning problems

vegasmike1

So, I have no problem getting an adhoc game on my iphone and pad when I use the mac to do it, but I have the UDID of another tester, he does not have a mac (poor baby) when I send him the profile and the game after up and down to GS, he can not get it to install. So, WTF, am I doing wrong. Its just two file but when he gets the files, from me zipped together, he says he sees folders and stuff. Help a brother out here, is there some magic I am missing. Surely someone else is doing this with out a problem or maybe not.
thanks

From what I know you can not provision on a windows machine, your friend must "get a Mac".

But you might want to look into ad hoc distri

He needs to drag both those files to iTunes, and then sync the app to his iDevice.

I figured it out, there is a way to do this.

Once you have sent the game to GS and it returns, on your mac, drag the provision file and the app that GS sends to Itunes, then find where Itunes stores the IPA files, you can go to Itunes, click on APPS and right click on one of the icons for any program, there you will see the pop up and simply click on show in finder.
Then, copy the IPA file that is your file from GS, save a copy to your desktop, then find the provisioning file, (adhoc of course) that you dloaded from Apple. Make a copy of that file and then compress both of these files, the ipa and the adhoc provision file.
Almost done, now take that compressed folder to your PC, and just as you did with the Mac, drop the IPA and the Provision file onto itunes on the PC. Then sync your device to the pc with Itunes, and Viola its done. Works perfectly.

I guess, but dont know the magic behind it, but Itunes turns the file from GS into an IPA file and that installs just fine.

Hope that helps.
