General

You will need an Apple Developer ID. It is free, go here, to get your account set up with Apple.

In Xcode you will need to add your account in Preferences -> Accounts.

Building and Deploying to Simulator

If you are good with only building and deploying to a simulator via XCode then you are good to go.

Building and Deploying to Physical Device

While we work out the details to adding teammates for collaboration, it is still possible to build and deploy to a physical device. There are two changes you will need to make.

  1. Replace the current Bundle ID with one of your own. To do this click in the Navigator Pane on OctoPod. This should load a settings page in the editor pane. Under Identity you should be able to create a unique Bundle ID there. You should see a default Bundle ID == org.OctoPod.OctoPod, this is the value you need to make unique to your Apple Developer ID.
  2. Update Team to your personal Apple ID (team). This is found on the same settings page as above Bundle ID, but under the Signing settings. You will only find your team to choose here if you successfully loaded added your Apple Developer ID as mentioned above.
