Is there some sort of setup instruction manual for the whole xcode thing from compiling it to creating a app, coz on the develope program it all looks complicated.

+1 Maybe one of current betatesters will be willing to do such article.
When you first compile your project to bring over to xCode, you want to make sure your project build type is set to "iOS xCode Project".
After building you will find a zip file in the directory you compiled to.
Copy the zip over to your Mac and unzip it somewhere. Inside the folder with the contents of the zip file you will find a file with the name of your MFA and the extension .xcodeproj. Double click it to open the project in xCode.
Once it's open you can press the play button up the top left of xCode and it should run your project in the simulator. If this won't launch, next to the play and stop buttons is a drop down menu. Expand it and make sure you have the target set to the simulator, not the device.
There is more detail but this should get you started for now.
Getting your app working on your device requires you setup and install a Provisioning Profile as well as an iOS Development Certificate.
In the iOS Provisioning Portal of your Apple Developer Account there is an Assistant that will help you with this. It can be accessed using the "Launch Assistant" button.
I'll probably be able to write a step by step guide later on, but it's getting late
There is actually a section in the MMF Help File that comes with the iOS exporter..
Distributing Your Application
- iOS
- Building
Not too detail though but gives a good idea of what the 3 iOS options are for.
Also talks about screen sizes, compatibilty and others.
- Properties
- iAd.
....
Hope it helps.
Yeah but it doesn't say anything about prvisioning your devices, the websites keeps sending me back and forth.
at one moment the following thing comes on screen .
No distribution certificate found.
however there is already a certificate request pending. an agent or admin must approve this request before you can download your distribution certificate.
Is this normal? do I need to wait?
hmm got it working but I don't know how I did it lol
Don't worry, I'm sure most people have that experience!Originally Posted by Evilized79

haha -- I still stumble around with the certificates and provisioning devices and profiles
Hopefully someone who can write well and understands it can make a guide we can all follow. I had it down until Xcode got updated.
Yeah i built my latest game, and I couldnt tell if the provisioning side was done right... but apple approved it, so that was me finding out
Hmm thanks for the warning on the provisioning thingy... I guess I will be encountering it soon.
