Anybody else having problems with working Apps failing on iOS 6?

Hi, Steve -

Yes - I just upgraded to iOS6, and am running Livecode 5.5.1. I can get my app to run in the simulator, but it will no longer build a standalone application file. (This was all working just fine before I did the iOS upgrade - a decision I am now regretting...)

When I attempt to build a standalone, I get this error:

"There was an error while saving the the standalone application
performing iOS device builds requires the iOS 5.0 SDK platform to be installed"

I went and followed the suggestions posted here: How to setup Xcode 4.5 to work with LC 5.5.1/5.5.2 , but still no luck.
http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewtop ... 21&p=61541

Not sure if you or anyone else has found a way past this yet? I thought about switching to LC 5.5.2 and trying that, but after iOS6, I'm a little gun-shy about upgrading.

Also waiting for solution on Xcode before going to 5.2.2

4.5 came from App Store, so I have no file to point Livecode to for the Mobile Support setting ....

Posted here and directly to RunRev.

Stuck until I get a solution.

Hi, Steve -

Glad you let RunRev know directly. And yes - I forgot to mention that I'm also running XCode 4.5 (from the App Store).

Xcode should be in your Applications folder (unless you moved it). Doesn't matter that it came from the App Store.

Yes it is. I find it and select it, but LC still wants the 5.0 SDK when I save as Standalone

Oh, now I see. Same issue here...

Got it working. Exploring the contents of Xcode 4.5 revealed that the 5.0 and 5.1 SDKs aren't there! Fortunately, I found them in an older iPhoneOS.platform folder and copied them into the Xcode 4.5 package.

Gee... apple are so helpful moving everything into the app bundle. Why they feel the need to deliver a developer tool on a consumer platform I'll never know. Just for clarity, while the standalone buil;der is saying it needs iOS 5 what it really needs is iOS 5.1. Because it can't find iOS 5.1 it looks for 5 then gives the warning. There's no device build against iOS 6 yet which is why your builds are failing against vanilla Xcode 4.5.

Anyway, one thing I'm learning is to keep older versions of Xcode around. I've now got automated builds for all my externals using xcodebuild called via shell from a livecode stack. It uses Xcode 4.5 for iOS 6, Xcode 4.4 for iOS 5.1 and Xcode 4.2 for iOS 5.0-. The one handy stack builds, parses the lcidl file to generate docs from comments and then packages into a zip file in LC 5.5.2+ and LC5.5.1- formats

I have new versions for LiveCode 5.5.2 coming very soon as well as a ton of new features. I'm just waiting on RunRev to get back to me on a possible sdk bug building externals that use any of the LCInterface calls against iOS 4.1- and iOS 6.

Cheers

Monte

Thanks for the clarification Monte. Old versions of Xcode seem essential, but manually re-pointing LC to the older SDKs each time you want to switch isn't practical. I shoved older iOS SDKs into the Xcode 4.5 pkg with some apprehension but with no obvious ill effects so far. I can now get LC 5.5.1 to build standalones for a minimum iOS down to 4.3, at least according to the info.plist- not tested on actual hardware.

I had no doubt that you were hard at work on 5.5.2 compatible versions of your awesome externals. I'm in no hurry to switch to 5.5.2 until you do.

Hi Monte and everyone:

Do you know what happens in iOS 6 with the audio and video players? In previous versions I've been using Mobgui player or iphoneControlCreate command to create audio or video players, but when I used them with iOS 6 the Apps crashes.

Is it there a new command in iOS 6 or a way to do the same thing?

Does anyone know if MobGui is still supported in iOS 6?

MONTE
What setup is needed to compile and run iOS 6 Apps with Livecode?

Livecode version _________
XCode Version __________
MobGui version _________
etc.

Thanks

Found 5.0 SDK and did the same
I was able to recompile and submit the fix to the App Store
Whew!
