Monte,

Do you have an ETA for updated externals?

Nevermind. They seem to be working for iOS 8.2 when building a standalone, just not while testing in the simulator.

Not sure why not in the simulator. Which external? I'll be releasing 8.3 builds ASAP.

mergDoc and rrehardcopy are the only two I've tested. I get the warning "Could not find appropriate build of external '/(myfilepath)/rrehardcopy.lcext' for Simulator-Simulator 8_2"

Works fine for standalones, so unless you have to compile different versions for the simulator this may be a LiveCode issue. I get this sim only error with LC versions that can build for 8.2 up to and including 6.7.5 (rc2)

Can you test the latest build release from yesterday? SDK14.15 which should have simulator builds.

The warning persists with LC 7.0.5 (rc2) and 6.7.5 (rc2) with iOS 8.3 selected as the test target. I tried the latest versions of mergDoc (1.0.18), mergContact-MIT (1.0.13) and rrehardcopy-SDK14.15. The app launches in the iOS 8.3 simulator, but of course without the functionality provided by the externals. To make sure it wasn't my app I also created a blank stack in LC 7.0.5 (rc2), pointed to the above externals in Copy Files, set the test target to an iOS 8.3 device- same warning.

Simulator builds are broken in RC2 I found the bug yesterday and Sebastien has fixed and merged it in for the next release.

The stable release of 6.7.5 now builds standalones containing externals without generating errors, but they will not launch on the simulator (not yet tested on a device).

Hmm... ok, I'll download a .5 release and take a look. I have had a report of a crash with mergDoc so maybe that's it?
