Building for iPad devices*

How to create your Build.zip

Folder structure and file requirements must be exact for a successful build.

Folder Structure

1. Start with a folder called "Build" and copy into it the App.cpp, icon.png, Default.png and iTunesArtwork.png files.

(note the above .png files are optional and case sensitive)

2. Inside your C++ project is a folder called "Debug", inside that is a folder called "Assets". Copy "Assets" into "Build".

(note the "Assets" folder contains any font folders, "Images" and "Sounds")

3. Right click the "Build" folder, choose Send To - Compressed (zipped) Folder
