Can someone point me in the correct location for the rules and notes of how I get my completed GS game (soon!) onto the AppStore, not the creation of the Provisional Profile bit the GS file to AppStore file part.

Thanks,

Neil

    Open Applications folder in your Mac, then right click the Xcode, and choose "Show Package" (or something similar - I have polish Mac OS version), then open Contents/Applications, and launch Application Loader. The rest is simple.

    so I can do this myself not have GameSalad developers convert it for me?

    I don't quite get it.

    Here are the steps:
    1. Publish the game using GameSalad (with right iTunes profiles), and zip it.
    2. Add your new game to iTunes Connect.
    3. Open Application Loader, log in with your Apple Dev Account. Then choose your game, file, and send it.

    That's all.

    apologies, I was under the imprtession that I had to send the file to the GS Devs for 'readiness' for the AppStore or is this the old way (or I have it totally wrong)

    Thanks for your help.

    You have to publish your game using GS (and during this process your game is sent to GS, and then you recieve the published app file).
    But they don't rate, judge, or anything.

    This is a tutorial for publishing from generating certificates until publishing in the store:

    No, it's free. Where did you get such info?

    NMansell,
    Where are you getting your information from? GS is 100% free to use, or for $299 you can upgrade to pro which enables more features.

    The only cost to get your game to the AppStore is the $99 apple developer fee.

    just out of interest what are the pro features?

    Yes this is how a couple of other Game engines like GameMaker work. It's a VERY BAD Idea. And I'm sure glad that GameSalad is smart and simply provides the tools nothing else.
