How do I install test app on iPhone using PC?

I already have the MobileProvision file.
I already have the zip files of the app generated by Gamesalad.

So now, what's next?

You can build .ipa on pc and try it out on a ios device, if the device is jailbroken. Let me know if you would like to know how to do it.

You need an ipa or app file to summit get it on an iPhone.

yeah, with pc

I don't think (as far as I known) you can make iOS apps on a Pc. There may be work arounds. But you can make iOS apps on Mac

I hope there are or is a workaround

You can create the app in the PC version but to publish to the Apple Store or to test on an Apple Device you need access to a Macintosh Computer to deal with the Apple Store requirements. Some PC users use Macincloud I believe.

When you publish to gamesalad.com, just go to the "IOS Univerals" fill the information they whant you to fill and then build to iOS.

• when its done, just download the ".zip" file.
• create a new folder and rename it to "Payload".
• put the ".app" folder from the ".zip" file, into the "Payload" folder.
• Right click on the "payload" folder and (send it to a zipped folder). (im using a Swedish version of Windows so im not sure of how its writen on the english version)
• When thats done, change the ".zip" in "Payload.zip" to "Payload.ipa"
• When thats done, and if your iOS device is jailbroken and have Appsync installed
• Just put your new ".ipa" file to your iOS device and install it.

i hope you understand how to do it, my english is not the best.
