Hey all. There's certainly threads on this but i couldn't exactly make sense of it. Hopefully this will help me and others out with the sam question. I want to have beta testers try my game out. Thing is some are across the country. How do i make the ad hoc so i can distribute it to others? I believe i read you need to make a distribution profile? Can anyone go into a little more detail on exactly the steps to take?
Thanks so much everyone. Such a great community here!

    If you have a developer account, then there should be a tutorial on the mac site. I am going to look for it an post the link in a moment. In the meantime, watch this tutorial by Tshirtbooth on how to create an adhoc:

    I hope that helps.

    Actually, the best place to look is here once you kind of have a sense on how to create your adhoc:

    I have the adhoc. Know how to make it. Just need to know how to distribute it. I'm pretty sure you have to send a distribution profile or something like that. Anyways I'll take a look at the latest link. Many thanks to yoU!

    Oh OK. Its under devices and how to. You have to get their unique identifier from them and upload it remotely and then download the profile I believe.

    Have you tried using Test Flight?

    Cluv thanks so much man! That looks to be exactly it! SlickZero, I've heard of it (test flight) but what does it do? Does it make it easier to release your beta to friends and family in ad hoc state?

    Cool. Sounds good. Good luck on your project!

    Yes. That's exactly what it does. Your friends install Test Flight on their iPhone, and sign up for your updates, and they get every adhoc you publish through Test FLight. Easiest way to send out beta tests to all your testers.
