Hi

I followed a tutorial and created a small game. I am trying to make an app out of it but when I go to File–Build–iOS in the Corona Simulator the option to build for a device is greyed out. If I choose to build for the Xcode simulator then the option to build becomes accessible. 

any help much appreciated. 

mac os 10.7.5

corona simulator 2013.1076 (2013.4.3)

Xcode 4.6.2 (4H1003)

Do you see the entry for “Code Signing Identity”?  This is where a list of provisioning profiles are listed.  You cannot build for device without selecting a valid provisioning profile. Please check out this guide:

hi

Code signing identity has no entries, so I have no provisioning profile. To fix this I need to enroll as a developer? This costs $99/year or so, right?

thanks for the help

Yes, Apple will want $99 + tax a year.  Once you are a registered iOS developer, you can access their developer/provisioning portal  and you can setup your certificates, create your app ID’s, add your test devices and generate the profile needed by Corona SDK.
