Publishing to arcade

Hello,

I'm trying to publish my game on the arcade as a WiP, but the "play" option is not available and where it says "To start the app the signing process click here" that only takes me back to Arcade info.

The only thing I can think of is the "shareability" which is attached to the terms of service. I do not want to share this game publicly so i will not check that if it's going to be made public. But, there's nothing else that I see that is preventing the game from being playable.

Help?

    You don't need to sign games published to the Arcade. Once you get to that screen it's done. Go to your profile and it should be listed there.

    Thanks, Jamie. I see it on the arcade, but when I try to play it, the game just stops after a second. It plays fine in gamesalad so what could be the deal?

    HTML 5 can be a bit buggy sometimes, have you tried it in multiple browsers (safari, firefox, chrome) to compare performance?

    Nope, doesn't work on firefox, IE or chrome. It starts, then after a second it just freezes

    Well that's a bummer! I have no idea what might be wrong I'm afraid. Time to trouble shoot the code I guess! :)

    Yea, I don't know what the deal is. For 3 days I've dissected and rebuilt this game. There is absolutely nothing that my small amount of gamesalad knowledge can see that is wrong. Everything looks fine from my end.

    This is ridiculous... what surprises me the most is that there's no troubleshoot or QA post with known bugs or problems that can cause this.

    I had the same problem. I just uploaded my game and it only played 2 scenes and stopped. It is really frustrating. I would like to know why and if I should go ahead pay $99 to test it in ipad.

    In the end I just rebuilt the whole game from scratch. It's working now and was accepted to Amazon and Google markets first try. I have my theories of why Arcade didn't accept the original but I'm no expert.

    Can you test it on the ipad emulators before you purchase it?
