i dont have iphone or ipad. I have a windows computer can I still get the export file for iphone?
Also since you said openGL can we make 3D games as well?

[akr]

The export format is unchanged. But u need the new beta of the ge Mac OS X or windows to produce games with the proper 480x320 screen resolution.
You need to have a iphone device to test. But its very cool. Top performance, opengles support and and and.....pays off!

Is it also possible to apply for the betatesting without an iPhone (don´t have one at the moment) ?? Since it is also advertised as Mac OS X Beta

Thanks in advance and keep it up!

[akr]

Sure, follow the process described above. Therefore I dont need a UDID.

I'm interesting in becoming a beta tester. I have an iphone and 2 different iTouches.(v2, v3) I'm also a registered iPhone developer.

Count me in, good to be back, Makslane!

I sent Akr a PM, looking to get started. Got it all - iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, and iPad!

[Neverbe]

I had sent you a PM

[sonicfire]

So how can i receive Touch-Events from the iPhone in GE? Any help really appreciated!
(Or is this not implemented yet? But then making a game wouldn´t make much sense )

Hi Dennis,

works like mouse input. Try it out.
