Thunder_Child · April 2014

Hello Everyone...I have created a series of tutorials to create your

Apple Developer and Distribution Certificates

App ID's

Ad Hoc and Distribution Provisioning Profiles

Signing your App using Game Salad Publishing

Creating your app and preparing for app submission to Apple in iTunes Connect

Im not a pro...I may remake them as needed or get blasted for not having a radio voice or cool graphics...it IS HD if you choose so the video it at least clear....very clear.

I hope these help....see the link below to a playlist to the YouTube Channel specifically for my Tutorials

Any suggestions or comment will be appreciated.

HI.
Have a Problem, just wondering if you could help.
I have followed all of your tutorials on youtube generating certificates, app ids, and provision profiles.
My problem is when I go to sing my app in gamesalad in the App signing settings it only shows my iOS team provisioning Profile? if I sign with this it is rejected!!!
there is no option to sign with the ones that I produced using the tutorials.....??
Can you give any advice.

I'm having the same problem as Uplink. It only shows team provisioning profile.

As a test, I deleted that profile from my iPad, but GS still thinks it's there. Where does GS pull the profiles from?

RinseWashRepeat · July 2014

Sorry for the double post, but if Uplink's having the same problem as me, then this could be the solution;

When you're making the App ID, you're asked to throw in a Bundle Domain. This may seem obvious to most people but;

this ID you create (the com.blop.bloop bit) needs to be used in the GameSalad publlishing too!

So when you come to publish the app on GS, type in the same com.blop.bloop into the Bundle Identifier field. This help Gamesalad known that the app you're signing belongs to the certificates you've got installed. (I guess)

Hope that help you Uplink!

Below is a link to a page Apple has regarding when and why you use a team profile. Best I can tell...and I'm not exactly sure....you can have a team profile that each team member can then load the game on their...(their) devices and you can to...(on yours).

When you go to publish this final cut...your app you should...I believe, make a new provisioning profile...non team profile with a new app bundle and then a single person would upload the game/app.

So my recommendation is make a new provisioning profile and app bundle for this game and use that one...make it a distribution profile and date it...

Example. Com.blip.blappbloop073114

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppStoreDistributionTutorial/CreatingYourTeamProvisioningProfile/CreatingYourTeamProvisioningProfile.html

Hope I am right...not 100% sure as I have never felt with or made a team profile...and unless you are working with a team member I see no reason to have one. Personally the GS file can be traded between peeps...sent via email...and if possible use test flight to test on multiple devices now so that's my loop hole fix.

Hi
Will give it a try tomorrow, to busy at the moment at work
Thanks

Uplink1001 · August 2014

HI.
Thought I would get back to you on my issue.....
Well, I deleted all my old certificates and profiles, and started from scratch.
That did the trick, certificates and provisioning profiles now displayed in xCode and was able to sign and upload to app store....
Also there was a problem when uploading where it would stop on verifying meta data with iTunes, and it would go no further, the soloution to this was to disable my firewall until it had uploaded, then start it again. seems that the new app loader which I take is version 2.9.1 was always asking for outbound TCP 443? anyway all done...
Thanks..

Hey folks. Just giving this thread a little bumb for the new peeps to check out if they havent seen them. Im suprise how many views they have. Brings a tear to the eye...

Japster · November 2014

Thanks David - I must say I 100% wholeheartedly recommend new Mac GS'ers looking to publish or build/test on devices to check these out as soon as you can! - I was completely lost, bewildered, and apprehensive about the whole signing, provisioning, certifcates, etc side of things, until I found these...

So.... I grabbed a cuppa, sat down, and watched these really helpful tutorials, and they have honestly helped me MASSIVELY - made it a doddle....

Massive respect to taking the time and effort to help us new guys (and perhaps those of us around longer, who have been avoiding it!) with a clear, easy-to-follow, and down-to-earth guide to this otherwise hard to understand part of the publishing process David...

Thunder_Child · June 2015

Hey folks...@tatiang and others...check out my new tutorials...3 of them. 2 are very similar to previous toots but I have elaborated mucho for you to understand more aspects of the processes.

The new video is specifically for TestFlight system from Apple.

PROVISIONING PROFILES DEV/ADHOC/APPSTORE

APP ID CREATION AND ITUNES

GAMESALAD PUBLISHING AND APPLICATION LOADER/TESTFLIGHT SYSTEM

Enjoy I hope they help...I will be adding these to the playlist that is posted on many discussions so when clicked it will include these as well.

NOTE...as always I just hit record and go...so there are those moments Im just blabbing away...or troubleshooting/waiting for self conformation Im doing it right...just happens these video did go just right...excluding slow internet speeds.

@Thunder_Child Thank you kind Sir. Will watch asap today... and Review and Rate.

Lovejoy · June 2015

@Thunder_Child does it again!

WarpSpeed · June 2015

Thank you. Watched one of your tutorials on this topic already and it was very informative. Will watch these as well.

Thunder_Child · June 2015

Cool. I'm hoping the testflight video is what will be helpful to peeps.

Braydon_SFX · June 2015

Great job!

jamie_c · June 2015

Very nice

floatingwoo · June 2015

Awesome, toss em, robots, batman! Thunder done did it again!

MentalDonkeyGames · June 2015

Awesome! Your tutorials were very helpful when I first published to iOS.
These are excellent tutorials.

PhilipCC · June 2015

@Thunder_Child 5* for each video. I only publish or update every few months so inevitably there are changes to the Provisioning Portal or to iTunes Connect in the meantime that stump me and take time to figure out. These videos are really helpful and will bring me up to date with the current procedure as I am poised to publish again now that 13.14 is sorted out and sort of stable.

Thunder_Child · June 2015

Hello peeps...I have added 3 more tutorials about publishing and now includes a tutorial on the new testflight procedures.

I made a new post but probably should have just added to this thread...sorry mods...feel free to merge or delete my newest thread...for those who don't know I have created a pretty comprehensive set of tutorials....I have now added them to my playlist....a total of 11 tutorials !! :-)

Here is the link to those tutorials.

Thunder_Child · June 2015

It was just requested via YouTube subscriber Wes ****** that I make a tutorial now...showing how to upload and chose a second...newer version to testflight. I'll just be gettin right on that one. As well as direct testing via Xcode.

!!!More to come!!!

Thunder_Child · June 2015

Just added another tutorial...

This one is to adhoc your game directly to your device via Xcode

:-)

JSproject · June 2015

@Thunder_Child even though I know the stuff already I've watched a few of your videos and you've done a great job with them, they help many for sure! Good job man

RedRobo · June 2015

sebmat86 · June 2015
