Cannot compile for IOS5

Hi there,

I am a relative newcomer to Live Code. I am running OSX Lion and Livecode 5.0.0 and cannot seem to save my application for IOS 5. I can run my application in the IOS Simulator V5.0 but when I attempt to save it, I get the message "There was an error while saving the standalone application performing iOS device builds requires the iOS 5.0 SDK platform to be installed".

I have downloaded and installed xCode 4.2 Build 4D199.

When I go to Live Code preferences - Mobile Support, the "Location of developer root for iOS 5.0 and above" field is empty. I cannot seem to find the correct path for this field.

The screen shows Available Simulators as 4.3, 5.0

Can anyone help please?

In the LC preferences use Mobile support to tell LC where the developer folder is.... here is the path on my Mac.

Macintosh HD —> Developer —> Platforms —> iPhoneOS.platform —> Developer

be well,

Thanks Randy,

I have tried your suggestion but when I put in the path you suggested, I get the error "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK for 5.0 or later. It must be one that ships with Xcode 4.2 or later".

I have installed XCode 4.2, Is there something else I need to do with Xcode?

Regards,

Ewan

Well, that's frustrating. I did get that message when I selected the wrong development folder... the first one in the path rather than the last one.

I didn't do anything with XCode to get things to work.... just selected the path.

Try setting the path in the mobile support section to /Developer

Tried /Developer, worked first time.

Thanks for your help everyone.

Hi,

I am having the same problem. Using Mac with Lion with the latest Xcode installed - Version 4.2.1

In the LC preferences use Mobile support located in the:

"Location of developer root iOs 5.0 and above spot", I point to

Macintosh HD —> Developer —> Platforms —> iPhoneOS.platform —> Developer

I get the error:

"The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK for the 5.0 and later. It must be the one that ships with Xcode 4.2 or later."

What am I doing wrong?

Jim

Got it. Just had to install the later Xcode.
