How to tune gideros project template to publish on iStore market

MysiaGames

Hi,

After tunning with success my android game, i have the same questions about the template project on x-code. Actually i do the next adjustments:

- Add on TARGET-SUMMARY the 4 app icons 57x57, 114x114, 72x72, 144x144. Those icons should be square, the system automatically put the rounded borders, the gloss and the shadow. Set the orientation of your app.
- On TARGET-SUMMARY set the Bundle identifier as "com.yourdomain.yourgamename"
- Change with a readable game name on TARGET-INFO-Bundle Display Name

Is there any observation or additional step to do?

The most wonderful tutorial for this is

Thanks hgvyas123, that tutorial is complete.

However at the last i have one error when i'm trying to send my app to the store. This is the text error:

"iPhone/iPod Touch: application executable is missing a required architecture. At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: armv6"

I have installed the Xcode 4.5.1 and the summary Project shows as Deployment Target = 3.2

If there any step can i do to preserve the armv6? Maybe, it's better to only work with armv7. What devices i lost if not?

i am still using xcode 4.2 or even lower version so i dont know about armv6 issue as it is started since xcode 4.3 or later may be some one else can help you about this

@MysiaGames unfortunately Xcode 4.5.1 does not support armv6 anymore. Thus you need to set a higher Deplyment target.

Or switch back to older xcode. I think there was a thread on this forum about installing two versions of xcode on a Mac

hgvyas123

ohhh that is too bad does this means that if i want to give support to iphone 5 then i have to drop support for older device ?

or it will work if i simply put default-568@2x.png or whatever the name is in root directory with xcode 4.2?

@hgvyas123 As far as I know than older apps will run on latest IOS devices and OS versions, but the problem would probably be that it won't take advantage of the new screen resolution. But I don't have any of the new IOS devices, so I can't say for sure.

hgvyas123

ohh yes i mean that resolution.

ar2rsawseen

Thus it would be great if any of IOS specialists could shed a light on it

Although I don't know the answer, armv6 users please upgrade to Xcode 4.4.1. Because previous Xcode versions have some bugs with clang compiler.

And I never install Xcode from Mac App Store and instead I download them from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action and copy different Xcode.app s to different directories.

I find ARMv6 devices are iPhone 2G/3G, iPod 1G/2G.
This seems not important actually on the market. Am i wrong?
