Getting your Aurasma Aura to display

Apologies to Kittsy if this is out there, I didn't see it. I hope to put out an app update with the Aurasma plug in as soon as notifications are released, so in preperation I needed to get something out there to interact with. I thought I'd list the steps in case anyone else wants to take the easier way out :P One Caveat, I haven't figured out how to have the channel autosubscribed for the app. (Regardless of what the aurasma site says, I haven't sussed it. I can however subscribe to it) * All these references are to the Aurasma Partner site on their web site. NOT your app. Once you log into the partner site on Aurasma, these options will make sense. 1) Assuming you have written your app, you will have an entry on 'Make your own app' screen. 2) I selected it, hit EDIT and 'Add'ed a new channel called AppX Channel. Hit Save. 3) Now I create an Overlay. This will be displayed when I 'see' my trigger. I used Powerpoint to create a slide, then saved it as an image. ImageX.jpg Click 'Overlays' in Aurasma Studio. 'Add' a new one. Give it a name ('My Overlay') Choose the type (Video, Image or 3D). Hit Browse and pick your image/movie. Give it a description. Hit Save (If you create a movie in PPT, convert it to Apple format) 4) Close the Overlays window and choose 'Trigger image'. This is the image that will trigger and show the overlay you just uploaded. Click 'Add' Click Browse (next to Training Image) to select the trigger photo. Give it a description Hit save 5) Click your 'Trigger Image' you just created and click 'Add Aura' at the top. In the overlay drop down box, select the overlay you created. Change the properties as you see fit. Click Aura Details and give it a name, and pick the channel you created to begin with. Click save on the bottom right. 6) Now you should be done. If you app is running in Aurasma mode, quit back to the menu and go back in. The new image should auto load. That's it. (As I noted up front, I had to add my channel to get it to work, I'll update as I figure out the answer). Cheers.

Steps 4 and 11 in the installation guide cover this. The app name you making your app in the aurasma controller ,ust be the name of your bundle name. That is what links the superauras

Dude, totally having the same issue. I have everything set up in Aurasma and the bundle ID's match the kernel but the app doesn't autosubscribe like it says in multiple spots in Aurasma help. I email them and received a step-by-step how to. Not much help. here's a shot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g2uhq4utmza4wvs/Aurasma%20CP%20shot%20JAN%2018.tiff I even switched the channel ID's in Aurasma to "com.app.com", "app.com", and "app" but no luck. @kittsy, I've sent you a PM about this and an icarousel issue.
