Up the ranks

Step up or go unnoticed

So while finishing the main project I left this one fall to the side a little but needless to say I am back and ready to step up the ranks of the search engine.

It was nice to see how the Apple Developer program worked and how you must deploy an app a device. So basically I was building my application in Adobe Flash and deploying it via Adobe Air. Here are the stages I went through to get the documentation I needed from the Apple Developers program.

  • Create a certificate in keychain access. Export this certificate to a place on the desktop. You will be required to enter a App password and a keychain access password.
  • Enter the developer program. I entered through the university program
  • Upload the certificate you have created for approval.
  • Create an App ID
  • Register your device using your UDID. This can be found when you plug your device into iTunes
  • Create a provisioning profile. You must choose your certificate, UDID, and App ID in the provisioning profile.
  • Download these documents

You then go to Publish Settings inside in Adobe Flash. Fill in your preferences. You must upload your provisioning profile and certificate in the deployment screen. You can choose to install directly to device or for testing. If it is for testing, click publish. Import the provisioning profile into iTunes, then import the ipa file. Plug in device and sync so the app will install on your device
