**This is NOT possible**

The Simulator does not run **ARM** code, ONLY **x86** code. Unless you have the raw source code from Apple, you won&#39;t see the App Store on the Simulator.

The app you write you will be able to test in the Simulator by running it directly from Xcode even if you don&#39;t have a developer account. To test your app on an actual device, you will need to be apart of the [Apple Developer][1] program.

You can install other builds but not Appstore build.

From **Xcode 8.2**,drag and drop the build to simulator for the installation.

We use CMake for generating the Visual Studio files of our sources in our SVN. Now my tool requires some DLL files to be in the same folder as the executable. The DLL files are in a folder alongside the source.

How can I change my `CMakeLists.txt` such that the generated Visual Studio project will either have already the particular DLL files in the release/debug folders or will copy them upon compilation?

I created a local repository of my Visual Studio 2010 solution folder using Git GUI on my dev machine. I then created a remote repository in my GitHub account. Now, I am looking for how to push my local repository to the remote repository.

In SVN I can just commit using TortoiseSVN and changes are pushed to the remote repository. I don&#39;t see any tool like that available for Git. 

How do I push my local repo to my remote repo on GitHub?

I&#39;m developing a game using Cocos2d-x to Android and iPhone. At the beggining, I had a lot of problems to start using this library, so, in this question, I want to collect all basic, medium and expert tutorials because there are a lot of info questions doing the same mistakes. When I [Started][1], I had to look a lot in many sites using my friend Google. Hope this helps people start now. **All in c++**.

**Beginners**

- Official wiki [links][2]
- How to start in multi-platform [HERE][3] The best one. Amazing, XCODE (MAC) and ECLIPSE (LINUX) tutorial.
- A simple guide to [Start][4]
- Another multi-platform [Guide][5]
- Awesome guide to start programming on [Eclipse + Android][6] and [DEBUG][7], thanks to [Marcio Andrey][8]
- Another [way][9] to integrate cocos2d-x on Android
- Social Example, Facebook + email + Twitter on iOS and Android [HERE][10]

**Medium**

- Scrolling scenes. Using CCParallaxNode. [Space game example][11]
- InfiniteParadax Class [Here][12], to repeat same backgrounds all time.
- [Slider code][13] [HERE][14] the video.
- Split screen using 2 layers [Here][15]
- Sharped Label TTF, [Better labels][16]


**ADVANCED**

- Integrating OpenFeint with cocos2d-x. I only found [This example][17], [Here][18] more details.
- Archievement on GameCenter. [Here][19]

**Extensions**

- I have not tested all, but work fine [walzer&#39;s Extensions][20]
- [MarkusPfundstein][21]&#39;s extensions 
- DualFace [extensions][22], actually in development

**Code Examples**


-  *Clawoo examples*
- [Simple Game 1][23]
- [Simple Game 1 - part 2][24]
- [Simple Game 1 - part 3][25]
- [BreakOut][26]
- [Pong][27]
- [Cute a pult][28]
- [TileBased game][29]
- [Asteroids][30]
- *Bada.com*
- [Ballon Ride][31]
- *Demo and links collection*
- [supersuraccoon-cocos2d demos (Not all C++)][32]
- [supersuraccoon-cocos2d links collection][33]
- Another code example: [Tiny Wings Remake on Android using Cocos2d-X][34]

**TIPS**

- Audio format [Supported][35]
- If you use Linux, please, don&#39;t use cocos2d-android or cocos2d-android-1, **is decreated**. Try to use cocos2d-x

- If you use Linux, and don&#39;t know how to use native code, [Take a look in development][36]

- CCLOG(&quot;String&quot;); Don&#39;t work on Eclipse log cat, but CCLog do it!

- Max textures size/resolution [Here][37]

- Iphone use RETINA to draw textures in HD, but don&#39;t are used on Android. My solution is use RETINA on iphone, and setscale compiling only in Android. [Multi-resolution Wiki][38]. In Example:

&lt;pre&gt;
    #if (CC_TARGET_PLATFORM == CC_PLATFORM_ANDROID)
    this-&gt;setObjectScale(1);
    #endif  // CC_PLATFORM_IOS
&lt;/pre&gt;


- Your first example must be the official on the [WIKI][39]

** [OFFICIAL PAGE COCOS2D-X][40] ** 

What will need this question?


- XML Tutorial, i have nothing in this area. Actually, i&#39;m working in some code. I will do a Tutorial. The library can be use is [libxml2][41] 
- Creating menus example
- Slider menu example
- Gestures class don&#180;t implemented yet

If you have problems, use tag Cocos2d-x in Stackoverflow, and I will try to help you.


I have already read the [FAQ][42] but 90 % of questions cocos2d/android related present the same problem, using obsolete libraries. I just want help people to start using cocos2d-x. All additional info will be Welcome.

I have a problem generating a iOS App archive from an application. The application compiles just fine and even works in the simulator. Now I wanted to make som ad hoc testing and cannot generate the iOS App Archive. When I click on the Product -&gt; Archive  it generates a generic xcode archive. Can anyone help me. I should mention, that I have already generated an iOS App Archive of this application. It has just stopped to generate iOS Archive for some reason. Thanks a lot.

I want not to change the backgroundColor of an UIImage,&lt;br/&gt;
but rather to change the color of the whole image.

Because I have got standard forms which I can move from popover to the view.&lt;br/&gt;
In my App it is possible to tinker the images to one big image, i.e a table.&lt;br/&gt;
Moreover I want change the color to white brown or what else.&lt;br/&gt;

But the problem is: I can only change the backgroundColor&lt;br/&gt;
Is there any way to change the color of the UIImage?

Thank you in advance

When I try to submit my app on the App Store through Xcode I got this&#160;error.

&gt; A server with the specified hostname could not be found.

I want to programmatically track my app&#39;s search ranking on Apple&#39;s app store. Is there any API or website to do this, outside of the &#39;App Store&#39; app on my iPhone?

Is there a way to search the iOS app store online?

I&#39;ve recently submitted my game to the App Store.  It has recently been approved and is &quot;Processing for the App Store&quot;.  When I click on my application, it says &quot;Routing App Coverage File&quot;.  Just curious on what this means exactly?

Routing App Coverage File

I know it&#39;s possible to link directly to an app in iOS by registering a custom scheme (e.g. so://) and it&#39;s also possible to link to the app in the appstore via itunes.

In many cases, the ideal flow is to provide a link that redirects to the app _if_ it&#39;s installed and to the store if not. Is this possible, and if so, how?

**Added for clarity**, the scenario is I&#39;m opening a link (http) from an e-mail on my iphone that&#39;s inviting me to join a group in an application. If the user has the app installed on that device it should open, otherwise the http link should redirect to itunes.

Redirect to application if installed, otherwise to App Store

I have a view on the iPad that I&#39;m adding an `MKMapView` to that is say half the height of the full screen.  However, when I try to pinch out on the iOS Simulator it doesn&#39;t work since the to nubs fill the entire iPad view on the simulator.

And so, with the map view half the screen and I press the &lt;kbd&gt;Option&lt;/kbd&gt; key on the keyboard I cannot grab the map to pinch out.

Anyone know how to handle this?

I have a scroll page that I specified two fingers minimum. It works on my device, but don&#39;t know how to mimic this gesture on Simulator. I can mimic one-finger scroll without problem. I&#39;ve tried option/ctrl/shift etc, but couldn&#39;t get it work. Maybe my combination is wrong. Anyone knows how? Thanks.

When you &quot;run&quot; the simulator from xCode, the app automatically launches, and then you can click the home button to suspend the app. What I want to do is *close* the app from within the simulator. So, how can this be done?

Is there anyway to make the iOS simulator for iPhone 5 in Xcode, be the actual size of the iPhone 5. I&#39;m getting a huge display and things seemed to be scaled.

Adjusting the Xcode iPhone simulator scale and size

I&#39;m checking my app against iOS8 in the simulator and one thing that puzzles me is that when I tap on a UITextField or UITextView the keyboard doesn&#39;t appear on the screen! I can still enter text with my hardware keyboard. Also, if the input element has a inputAccessoryView, that view is shown on the bottom of the screen. So everything works as expected except that the keyboard is not appearing on the screen.
This is valid for all input elements throughout the app.
I don&#39;t use the new feature for custom keyboard.

Checked the Settings - don&#39;t see anything that can help.

I know XCode6 is still a beta but this seems too obvious problem to be a bug (or is it!?)
