Alternative: Shout-Em

 Competing Options: ShoutEm

There doesn't seem to be a lot of competing affordable alternatives. This seemed to be a possibility, so I did a bit of investigating. ShoutEm is not intended to be used for this sort of app, so I place no blame on them for the level of success related to re-purposing it in this way.

While ShoutEm doesn't seem ideal for this project, there may be quite a few other possible projects I could imagine them being utilized for in the future.

Disappointing Results with DPS & Apple


After spending two more days trying to publish, I;ve found additional problems, and solutions that don't seem to work. While I was able to find a version of Xcode for my version of Mac OSX, apparently, that was a waste of time, because through reading forums of people having similar problems, you can only submit apps created with certificates from whatever the newest version of Mac OSX.

After borrowing a computer from some one else, installing the most recent version of Xcode, and trying to resumbit it, hat isn't working either. So, back to researching how to get something submitted to Apple. It's extremely frustrating that you can spend almost as much time trying to submit the app as actually making one. Its also frustrating that neither the materials from Apple nor Adobe state these restrictions and limitations.

I've also sent emails to Apple requesting some help with whats going wrong, but haven't recieved any replies.
