I need help with xcode and game salad

Philipppuus

I have a problem. Yesterday Evening I installed the new iOS Yosemite on my iMac and also the new xcode and new game salad. I wanted to published my game on my device. But the Problem is on Gamesalad software there isn't the test button next to the preview button anymore. I want to test the Game on my iPad. How does this works ?.

Please can somebody helps me ?.

iOS version 8.1

Long time ago I tried it with an older version on xcode and If I pushed the button Build than at the same time on Gamesalad there were this button next to the preview. Now there isn't one anymore.
I hope, that somebody could help me , thank you ! :-)

This is marked =

int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @GameSaladAppDelegate); "Thread1: signal SIGABRT

What should I do ?

For poops and giggles, did you download the new GS viewer to place on your device as well???

Philipppuus

yeah everything works fine. The Problem is only that if I Build/run on xcode then it run immediately on my device and I not want it. I want the symbol on my Gamesalad software where I can test my game on my device. It works before but I don't know why it doesn't work right now !

I'm sorry @Philipppuus‌ but it is really confusing what you are trying to accomplish. Maybe if you can re word what you are trying to do or put up screen shots. Want to help but can't understand what you are trying to accomplish.

I don't understand where xcode is coming into play here. I think you are trying to use the GS viewer on your device to preview your app? xcode really has nothing to do with it once you deploy the viewer.

If all you are trying to do is test on your device, leave the viewer behind and go adhoc! It's so much better and an actual true representation on how your app will run. the viewer is not.

ok, now I downloaded again both new version (GS Creator and GS Viewer), but the problem is, that XCode doesn't connect to Gamesalad programm. How does it works generally ? You connect the device to the computer and then you open game salad and after that xcode, right ? and then you push in xcode the button "Play" and after that on the Gamesalad Programm it comes the symbol next to the preview button, right ? Or did I forget something ?

Philipppuus

ok thank you, maybe I didn't understand the concept with the GS Viewer, Maybe it was the adhoc last time I don't remember.

Philipppuus

Where can I find the adhoc file for mac ? Where can I download it ? I need only the symbol next the Preview in GameSalad like before!

You got the symbol because you had the viewer installed on your device. When you open the viewer app on your device the icon shows up.

Your device also needs to be on the same wifi network as your computer for the icon to show up.

Also, you need to have a bundle ID that you created in your developer portal to place in xcode for the viewer to be placed on your device.

To get an adhoc build you publish the app and use an adhoc bundle ID that you created. Once published and signed correctly you can then drop the app file on your device via xcode.
