iTunes: Device Testing Process - help

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I am building my app on my Mac, then copying the image to iTunes Apps, but I’m noticing a couple things:

  1. My device isn’t always successfully sync’ing with the latest build. Sometimes I’m forced to delete the App from iTunes and my Device, then force a SYNC on it. Why?

  2. My App icon isn’t appearing in iTunes. The app name appears, but the generic icon is in iTunes (but my icon.png appears on the devices). What am I missing please?

  3. An extension to #2, I notice also that my Genre for my App is not set. Unknown Genre is under my App name within iTunes. This is a Metadata issue isn’t it? Is it related to plist?

I’m just hoping someone can get me a hint before I start google’ing the answers… I’m just tired and am looking for a quick tip. :wink: [import]uid: 74844 topic_id: 12785 reply_id: 312785[/import]

You can also use Xcode to load your apps onto your device. I found this method to be a lot faster than using iTunes.

Look at this link for instructions:

Good grief, you’re not kidding… using Xcode is way faster than iTunes. What was I thinking. [import]uid: 74844 topic_id: 12785 reply_id: 46865[/import]
