Unable to build app for simulation
Hi: I installed the SKDs, and did the provisioning, etc. I can select a provisioning profile in the "build stand alone" menu, but I get the following error each time I try to run the simulator:
Unable to build app for simulation: could not find plist template for simulator 4.3 target
Note that I have installed "xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3"
and I am using LiveCode 4.5.2 - in standalone settings, there does NOT seem to be a selectio for "minimum iOS Version 4.3 - latest version available is 4.2) Perhaps this is why there is an issue??
Thanks for your help,
Greg Kolodziejzyk

Greg:
Launch the iOS Simulator.
Once it's running, look in the application menu bar for Hardware>Version...
Make sure it's set to 4.2 and leave it open.
Try your build again.
Let us know if that works.

Re: Unable to build app for simulation
that worked - thanks!
One problem though... When I drag and drop my app to my iPhone 4 using Xcodes Organizer, and as well, when I launch my app in the simulator, it is about TWICE as large as the screen. I sized my stack for the retina display = 640 x 960 yet it's about 2 x larger than the available screen size on both the iPhone 4 and the sim.
Thanks

Re: Unable to build app for simulation
Greg:
From the same menu bar for the simulator, did you change your device to iPhone (Retina)?
I don't believe this was supported until 4.6, per a previous thread...
http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php? ... ina#p32851
This is from the 4.6 iOS release notes...
To use the full resolution of such high-resolution devices, use the command:
iphoneUseDeviceResolution ( true | false )
But will only work if standalone is from 4.6...

Re: Unable to build app for simulation
ah - I'm using LC 4.5.2. Since it doesn't support Retina, is the upgrade to 4.6 a free upgrade - do you know?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Unable to build app for simulation
I purchased the 4.6 upgrade and there is no "iphone 4 retina" option under the simulator version menu. I can select 4.3 now, but my stack is still showing twice as big as it should on both the simulator and the iPhone 4
I have " iphoneusedeviceresolution "true" in "on preopencard", but this produces an error during opencard.

Re: Unable to build app for simulation
Greg,
Device choice is in simulator application menu.
Your device resolution script should be in preOpenStack, not preOpenCard...
Check out this thread...

Hope this helps...

Re: Unable to build app for simulation
Yep thanks. That all worked great. Next issue - did some searching and will try to play around with things, but if you can give me some tips re loading faster. It loads very slow on the iPhone 4 (12 seconds is a LONG time!). Do you think it could be due to the large number of functions in the stack script, a jpg background image, or loading a large text field into memory (the loading of the text field, and splitting into an array is instant on my Mac, so.. not sure how that compares to processor speed on the iPhone?).
Thanks
Greg
