Build and Deploy Your Marmalade App to Your Development Device.

NOTE:  Marmalade has been updated a few times since I wrote this guide.  They now have the HUB and stuff.  Some of the info below will still be relevant, but some probably wont be.

I’ve been playing with Marmalade, and needed to set up a bunch of iOS/Apple crap to get the whole thing working. There’s info out there on the web, but it’s scattered around. As I worked through this ridiculously complex and obtuse process, I made notes to share. Hopefully this will be useful to some poor, hapless programmer somewhere!

Build and deploy your Marmalade application to your development device.

This is for Windows. I have no idea about Mac and XCode.

Thee steps should be repeated for Ad Hoc or Distribution too.

Go to; https://developer.apple.com/
Sign in or create an account
Click first link "iOS Dev Center"
Under the menu "iOS Developer Program" (far right), click "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles"

Certificates
------------

You'll need a .certsigningrequest file.
	Run the Marmalade "Marmalade iPhone Sign Request" Tool
		All Programs -> Marmalade -> x.x -> Tools
	You'll need your name and email you used to register as a dev with Apple
	This tool will generate 2 files;
		\x.x\tools\iPhoneSignRequest\signingrequest.csr
		\x.x\s3e\deploy\plugins\iphone\certificates\developer_identity.key

On Apple Dev Site ..

Click on "Certificates" in the top left menu.
Click on the [+] to add a new certificate

Make sure you have the Intermediate Worldwide Developer certificate installed.
	Click on the "Worldwide Developer Relations Certificate Authority" link.
	Download and "Open" the .cer file.
	Click "Install", and follow the Wizard.
		Use default settings and Click "Finish" when the cert has been added.	 

Select "iOS App Development" (or "App Store and Ad Hoc")
Click [Continue]
Read the instructions.
Click [Continue]
Click [Choose File], and find and select the "signingrequest.csr" file you just created
Click [Generate]
Read the instructions
Click [Download]
Find and open the ios_development.cer (or ios_distribution.cer) file you just generated
Install the cert, the same way you installed the "Intermediate Certificate", earlier
Copy the ios_development.cer file to your Marmalade certificates folder
	X:\_Marmalade\x.x\s3e\deploy\plugins\iphone\certificates
Rename the copied ios_development.cer to developer_identity.cer (or distribution_identity.cer)

You're done with certs!

Identifiers
-----------

Click the [+] to add new App ID
Read the instructions
Enter name of the App
Make your feature selections.  Defaults should be Game Center and In-App Purchases, enabled.
Select the App ID Prefix

Click [Continue]
Click [Submit]
Click [Done]
