Is possible to test my games on android platform without having a pro license?? Becuase i installed the apk and on the same network gamesalad can't find my device. Should i try with USB?

    Since you can't publish to android....I would say no..

    Hmm I never looked into this since I don't care for android. But aren't you pro?

    Yes if you go and install the Android SDK and load it up the Android-Viewer in the Simulator, then you can test your Games in it.

    Ah! That's why! I tried on my phone/ tablet by installing simply the apk. but gamesalad never seen it.

    Does this still work, I'm just confused how to do this. What I want to do is test my app on my android phone, but I don't have pro.

    If you're on OSX, you can test in the viewer on Android.

    If you're on Windows, I suspect sacrificing a chicken, praying to the Elder Gods and maybe selling your first-born at the crossroads is the only way to get GS Creator & Viewer to see each other - I've never had it work, ever, across a variety of Windows-based PCs & various Android devices. Same goes with iOS devices...though maybe they were never intended to work with Windows GS Creator.

    Thanks, I am on OSX but my phone (GS2) doesn't think that I have gamesalad open on my mac when I'm in the gamesalad viewer... I've installed android SDK but now what?

    Make sure Android SDK is running in the background. I don't really do any testing from OSX to Android, so hopefully someone else on here can help you get it set up.

    Ok thanks for the help, I'm just downloading some extra packages for the android SDK so hopefully it will work after that. Can't wait to test it :P

    This may be a stupid question but how do I run android SDK? Do you mean the 'Android SDK Manager' or 'Eclipse' because I don't seem to have it... lol
