LiveCode Forums

Hi, here is the situation.

• Running LiveCode 5.5.2
• Using xCode 4.5
• Downloaded the 5.0 and 5.1 simulator packages in xCode
• Go to build application in LiveCode and it says it cant compile because of missing 5.0 SDK "There was an error while saving the standalone application performing iOS device builds requires the iOS 5.0 SDK platform to be installed"
• Copy over the 5.0 SDK file from xCode 4.4 into xCode 4.5
• LiveCode now builds the application fine.
• Load the application onto the iOS simulator
• Instantly crashes.
• Change simulator version to 5.1, application loads

So does LiveCode even work with iOS 6?

got exactly the same problem after upgrading to xcode 4.5 and ios 6 for my iphone that I use for testing.
Was in the middle of a project. Now come to screaming holt??

Feeling your pain, James - I'm in the same spot.

As Monte clarified in a related topic, LC really wants the 5.1 SDK. Try copying that one into Xcode 4.5.

Done that, its building it now and launching the iOS simulator, and then crashing. Waiting for iPhone 5 to arrive today and then i'll test it installing on an iOS 6 device.

What happens if you set your simulator test target to 6.0?

I emailed support and this is what they told me....

RunRev Support wrote:Apps built for a minimum version of iOS 5.1 using LiveCode will run on iOS 6.
Please build your application for iOS 5.1, check and let us know if you still face
any issues. The next release will allow you to build with a minumum version of iOS
6.

I did follow the instructions as this topic tells you and it did work on an iOS6 Device however it simply crashed the simulator trying to run iOS6. I'm just hoping that this "next release" doesn't come with a "next release" price tag...

Just upgraded and have the same problem. Any news on this?

If your standalone runs on iOS6 hardware but crashes the simulator, shouldn't the problem be with the simulator? Are you sure LC is launching version 6 of the iOS simulator? If not, check your Preferences-->Mobile Support and make sure the path points to Xcode 4.5 and that iOS 5.1 and 6 are listed as "Available simulators"

Hi ryanb93,
with LiveCode 5.5.2 you have to use xCode 4.4.1
with LiveCode 5.5.3 (when will be officially released) can use xCode 4.5

I have everything running and testing ok on the simulator for IOS 5.0, 5.1, and 6.0. I am able to build standalones and deploy them on both system 5.1 and 6.0 I did have problems with my distribution and developer profiles and had to revoke them and rebuild them. I am still having trouble trying to add multiple distribution profiles as I try and upgrade (to 6.0) the 4 or 5 apps I have in iTunes connect.

Here is what I'm running on my Mac.

Running LiveCode 5.5.1
Using xCode 4.5
I have the 5.1 and 6.0 SDK's in the Contents>Developer>Platforms>iPhoneOS.platform>Developer>SDKs folder

In Live Code Preferences/mobile preferences I selected the X code app. which is located in my Applications folder on my Mac and it shows the developer root path for 5.0 and above as "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" There is no selection available for "IOS 4.0 and above" on the lower line.

in Standalone applications settings I am using the "5.0 or later" setting and the "Armv7" setting.

This lineup is working for me.

I repeat ...

with LiveCode 5.5.2 you have to use xCode 4.4.1
with LiveCode 5.5.3 (when will be officially released) can use xCode 4.5

... this is what RunRev say.

Other tricks may work in some cases, in others not (particularly with iPhone 5) ...

Okay, so what are my options if I've already upgraded to xCode 4.5. It seems xCode 4.4.1 is no longer available? At least I cant find it.

Come on ... go in your iOS Dev Center, on the bottom, where you can download the last version of XCode there is a link "Looking for an older version of Xcode?" ... click this link and you reach the "Downloads for Apple Developers" and you will find ANY version you like !

Doh. Thanks.
