I tried giving this a go last night but no luck. It didn't even give me any errors. Just nothing. What ports do we need to have open for this to work properly?

Hello everyone,

I think agk viewer is useless, we cannot test the real software

Will a real player be available or do we need to go with the tier 2 system ?..

Of course it is not TGC fault if apple is so .. but the good point of agk that is develop once, play everywhere seems to disappear ..?

(sorry for bad english)

Please let us know what will happens with a *real* ios player ?

Alain, jailbreak your ios device and get the ios player ipa file. Problem solved. if Apple are so hard headed, it's no surprise everyone is jb their devices.

Of course it would be ok, I have already done this. But when I purchased AppGameKit, my aim was to publish my games and run it on several platforms with one source..

I hope TGC will answer to this question.

Perhaps linking my app with agk runtime in one executable a good option ?

Alain, what does the Player/Viewer has anything to do with publishing your app with one source?

You can do that since day 1, without needing any player or viewer. Just load Xcode and the supplied template, copy your bytecode and compile.

Having trouble with the viewer.

I compile, run and broadcast. While the game is running on my PC it says:

Compiling: main.agc
Broadcasting app...(click Abort to end broadcast)
Complete.

My iPod just sits there and says 'waiting for stream'.

I don't have any firewalls on, and get no errors. Any ideas?

Many thanks

Phil

For me:
With the provided game examples (snackit and space):
it works ... 1 to 2 seconds and then all stops
- game quits
- viewer is waiting for a connection again

No message, no warning whats ever !(I don't even touch the ipad screen)

My config:
- PC with win7
- fresh latest AGK
- firewall disabled
- IPAD 1 with fresh iOS 5.0, no jailbraking

any help ?

If you search around on the forum there is even a video made by Lee that shows you how to install everything on a vanilla Mac including Developer Provision files, and compile your work into an iphone app on Xcode.

My iPhone just goes to a black screen with a single white pixel on the left hand side when I broadcast the app...

As it was posted.on Facebook.... if you experience lags and shutdowns, lower the resolution in the config file.

Tried that. Compiled and Broadcast Santa's Bad Elf at 320x200 and it still happens.

I just tried the "viewer" on my iPad. Very poor graphics quality, like super compressed jpeg. And calling up a text entry field did NOT cause the iPad keyboard to pop up, so no text entry was possible.

suggestion only
could the viewer not use the IPAD USB wired connexion instead of Wi-fi ?
mMybe a bit harder to program but then would be a lot faster -which obviously is an issue- and easier to use than a network config.

?

Waahhh, it worked before. Not sure what it triggered but after isntalling 1.054 now anything that is broadcasted via my VMWare powered AppGameKit installation, is not detected by the new OSX player, my self compiled IOS player or the IOS viewer. I will put AppGameKit aside till they can find a reliable way to transmit stuff and will continue to use Monkey. I am very disappointed by all the problems someone has to face with the players/viewers.

AGK Viewer isn't working for me, I installed it on my iPhone 3G, and it opens and says: ready ro receive data...

So I compile and broadcast on my laptop (also connected to wifi) the app, but it doesnt give me a signal on my iphone.
