I would like to test my game on my devices. Can anyone offer links (tutorial/download) or advice for doing this.
Thanks in advance!

Ooooor, YOU can Google for it!
You also need a mac to install it on an iPhone or iPad.
I'm going to need to get myself a cheap Mac ( <--- HAHAHAHA!! ) soon, as my game is nearing completion!
But yes, anything to do with publishing on iOS, you'll be needing an Apple Inc. built computer, or a Windows computer with an Apple OS installed on it?
@JodyMitoma I literally Googled for "what do you call a computer that isn't a Mac"
I didn't get an answer there, but I figure you call it a PC.
Anyway on a related note, refurbished slightly old (e.g. 1-2 generations ago) Macs are pretty affordable if not cheap
...-ish.
@wayback_gamer ^ either that, or you can run the OS X using a Virtual Machine or a 3rd party service like MacinCloud. Just make sure to read through everything you can find online before you start purchasing your hardware, software, and licenses.
Thank you to everyone who replied. Can I build and publish an Android app to Android market with a mac, or will I need a pc for that?
Can [gs] games be published to Google Play?
@wayback_gamer, yes you can use a mac for both. No need for a PC in that case.
Windows creator -> Publish to Android, Windows.
Mac creator -> Publish to Android, Windows, iOS, OS X.
Thanks Jamie,Jody and Gabfather. This is an Awesome community!
