Unity Awards 2013! - Official thread?

News & General Discussion
1

Hello,

Made I some research on the forum, and I didn’t found any official thread// announce for the Unity Awards 2013 ? O_o…

I have 4 questions and it seems there is no help section from the commission page. :frowning:

I already asked around to colleagues but they have no idea too O_o
Well, I will try here…

1 - For the build section there are Platforms choice : ipad (Developer) and ipad (App Store)
---- > What is the difference between “Developer” and “App Store”.

2 - My Application is already on the Apple Store but there is no field I could give the direct download to the app from the build section (my app is FREE)
Then not sure to understand why an IPA is required?
Just thinking for judges it should be easier to download the app directly on the Apple store? right?
Then how should I do?

(I feel weird you do not require build for webplayer entry but accept direct URL ??? O_o!)

3 - Following the 2nd question, if I do provide an IPA it needs a Provision file including devices UDID to be able to launch the build.
Then… well… I can send the IPA, but how do the judges able to run it on their device?..
Maybe did I miss something on IPA sharing build during production? O_o…

4 - I have a 2nd possible entry but not sure to have the time to commit the app to the store (because of the apple validation process delay)…
Then following the 3rd question, yes I can provide IPA but if there is not UDID added to the build you cannot run it on your device.

Thanks a lot guys if you have the answers!! ^_____^!!!

Very hot in Japan those days!
Summer is coming!!

For #2 i assume it’s to avoid people sending a link to a store that isn’t the same one the judges use which would make them unable to DL it, and also to ensure that all entries are available at all time (the app store could kick you anytime for any reason / you may end up releasing a crappy version and regreting it, it makes more sense to get something in DL form).

Yup good point and I do agree…

but… what about the IPA without provision files and UDID? O_o…

Looking into this for you.

Hi Aurore!

Actually there is “Codes” tab.
But since my app is Free… no need code…

At the very top of the page in the Entry Info there is an “URL” field where I set the App url, but it is outside the Build field…
Not sure it can be used for it…

Also other info I just got from a colleague :
We can actually share an IPA without provision file but only with a business Dev account.
I only have the basic one for 100$ a year then I am not able to compile this kind of IPA :(…

Let me know if you get any info…

Thank you! :slight_smile:
