Ready for Submission

by Jason Darby · in iTorque 2D · 11/16/2009 (4:27 am) · 3 replies


So our first game is ready for submission.

1. Is there anything I should do before starting the process... Ive optimised the graphics and sound, the game works fine (tested), and FPS is fine also (its a simple game)... any recommendations on what to look out for?

2. Other than the iConnect documentation, anyone know the best place for info on what files/packaging up the files for submission. Ive not seen anything that specific so far in the iConnect docs.

Thanks

Jason

1. Check it with the memory instrument to ensure its not running out of memory (that will not get you rejected unless it happens always but it will get you a very bad rating).
Also ensure to test on real devices, not the 3GS class devices, because the old devices have significantly less RAM and are fairly slower.

2. Check out the developer.apple.com/iPhone page, the relevant articles are linked in there I think. Search for deployment builds, because what you likely so far used was a test build.

Check the iPhone forums while over at the ADC. There is a sub-forum specifically to performance testing/debugging tools which might have some hints, and you should look at popular threads in the other forums to see if there are any current issues people are butting their heads against.

Also add this fix which was just posted:
