Beta Testers:
Please download both the app and the provision file above (login required). Installation and upgrade info is below.

If you need login info emailed again or would like to join our beta program, email Ben at support@benbritten.com with ‘Snowferno Beta Test’ in the subject.

We need to know your device ID in order for the beta to launch on your mobile, so check out the instructions here first on how to do that. If you know any one else who wants to try out the beta of Snowferno, have them also email Ben with their device id, too.

Installing

1. You should have two files downloaded: Snowferno.app.zip and the most recent AdHocDMMMYY.mobileprovision file.
2. Unzip Snowferno.app (if your browser didn’t already do that).
3. Open iTunes and drag the app and provision files onto the “Applications” item in the upper-left section of the sidebar named “Library”. (It won’t import if you drop it on the Playlists section. If the “Library” heading highlights when you drag them in, you’ve got the right place.) Give iTunes a few seconds to copy and process the app.
4. Plug-in your iPhone/iPod Touch and sync. (If you manually manage your installed applications, be sure to check the box next to Snowferno in the Applications tab before syncing.)
5. If you get an error when syncing, make sure you have the newest .mobileprovision file downloaded. Copy it into your iTunes library and sync again.
6. Disconnect when the sync completes and fire it up!

Upgrading from a Previous Beta Version

(This is a weird process — sorry.)

1. Download the newest version of the app and provisioning profile.
2. Unzip the app and drag the files into the Library section in the sidebar of your iTunes.
3. iTunes will copy app file, saying ‘Processing: Snowferno.app’
4. Click “Replace” when told ‘The application “Snowferno” already exists in your iTunes library….’.
   
   Don’t sync quite yet — The weird part starts here:
   
5. At the home screen, tap and hold the Snowferno app icon for 2 seconds until the apps jiggle.
6. Tap the X to delete Snowferno app, and tap “Delete” when prompted ‘Deleting “Snowferno” will also delete all of its data.’ (Don’t worry. Your global high scores and level map progress are backed up online. It’s updated the next time you launch Snowferno.)
7. Click the Home button to exit jiggle-mode.
8. Back in iTunes, *now* do a sync. IMPORTANT: if you manually manage your installed applications, you must visit your Applications tab before syncing and re-check the checkbox for Snowferno. Deleting an app automatically unchecks that app’s checkbox so you have to recheck it each time.
9. Now sync.

Sorry about that. Due to the way Unity is compiled into xcode, iTunes unfortunately doesn’t recognize new versions of apps until they are official and acquired through the App Store. For beta testing, this means we have to have you jump thru these hoops and delete and install fresh copies of the app each time.
