Could you help me with how to use Test Flight. I have downloaded the app on the devices but when I try to upload my game it says I need a API. Any Help?

    1. Publish your game in GS creator
    2. Create a folder called "Payload" (case sensitive)
    3. Drag the .app file GS published into the "Payload" folder
    4. Compress the "Payload" folder (zip it up)
    5. Rename "Payload.zip" to "(name of app).ipa
    6. Click yes I want to change it

    Now the thumbnail image should have a small iTunes logo on it, and you can drag it into the part where you upload the app to TestFlight.

    Hope this helps,

    You might want to be a little more specific than "it did not work" so someone can help you.

    Ok, Ok @JustMe74. My problem is when I do everything right, and drag into it into TestFlight it says needs an .ipa. :-(

    Just asking, but do you have to publish it? If so do you need the active Apple Dev.?

    @blorsch

    TestFlight requires you to have a provisioning profile attached with the .app build, so yes you need to be an Apple Dev to use TestFlight.
    Just asking, but do you have to publish it?
    What exactly do you mean "publish it?

    @blorsch as with any other on device test you must have an active iOS developer account so you can access the development certificates and Provisioning profiles. And yes you must publish the app with the correct profiles through GameSalad so you get an .app file that is actually usable on a device.
