    I haven't completed my game yet, but I would like to test on a device to see how it runs.
    I wanted to make sure I have the right information.

    In order to test on a Apple or Android device, you need a Apple and Android developer account?
    And in order to publish the game to the App Store, the only way to do so is from an Mac computer?

    Just wanted to make sure this is what needs to be done just to test the game on these devices. Thanks.

    To test it in your android device you just need to compile the apk and open it directly on your phone as for ios its more complicated as you will need iTunes testflight.

    Thanks wesam_badr. I'll look into testing on Android ASAP.

    For iTunes Test Flight, I guess I need a Mac to run it? I have an iPad, but no Mac computer as of right now.

    You don't need iTunes test flight, but yea you do need a mac with Xcode to run your game on a iPhone or iPad.

    Thanks playsgames6666. Going to try to test on Android first, and purchase a Mac soon to test and publish to Apple.

    I used to compile all my iOS games on my PC using Macincloud.com

    Looks pretty cool heathclose, to clarify you can use macincloud.com to publish a game to the App Store without using a Mac computer?

    Thanks.
