Mobile Support Invalid IOS SDK / Android SDK

Post by nrprioleau » Fri Mar 29, 2019 7:27 pm

I have checked for previous posts but cannot find the answer to this. Has anyone had similar issues and managed to get it working?

I am running xCode 10.0 with Livecode 8.2 simulator
Livecode 9.0.3
Android Studio with latest SDK

In Livecode when setting the Mobile Support in Livecode preferences, I choose xCode for IOS SDK's and get an error "The chosen folder is not a valid IOS SDK. The selected XCODE must have a valid SDK among 8.2 - 12."

Hi, with LC 9.0.3 you should use Xcode 10.1. I guess updating your Xcode version will fix the issue.

Hope it helps

Hi Simon,
Thanks. I will try although I have tested 9.0.2 with xCode 10.0. I have upgraded to xCode 10.2 with LiveCode 9.0.3 but will try and downgrade to 10.1 and see if that helps.

The same issue happens when I try and include Mobile Support for Android?

Regards
Nic

Hi Nic, Android is a complete different "animal" and is not related to the Xcode Version. In this case it is all about Android Development Studio.

I would recommend you focus on one platform at a time. Once the first one is OK then move to the other.

This is how my Preferences + Mobile Support setup looks like (and works OK)

Thanks Simon,
Downgrading to xCode 10.1 has worked for me.

Apple will not let you use anything except IOS SDK 12.1 and up with XCode 10 (Mohave). I cannot find the location for IOS SDK 12.1. I tried the path shown in these posts: /applications/XCode.app/Contents/Developer in the Preferences section, but Livecode could not find it.

Is Livecode compatible with Mohave and SDK 12.1... and if not, what is the expected timeframe - because I can't upload anything until then.

Thanks

Go with XCode 10.1, that can be found here:

searching for XCode 10.1

I'd love for it to work...but this is what apple says:

According to Apple, all new apps and app updates for iPhone, including universal apps, will be need to be built with the iOS 12 SDK and will need to include support for the iPhone XS Max starting in March 2019.

So xcode 10.1 doesn't comply

iOS SDK 12.1 is included in xCode 10.1

I've submitted Apps to the Apple store (after March) and were approved.

I'd suggest that you give a try

Well... I tried XCode 10.1, only to get a message: The chosen folder is not a valid ios SDK. Selected Xcode must have an iOS SDK among: 6.1 7.1 8.2 9.2 10.2 11.2 (see attachment).

I don't know why your computer works with 11.1 and mine doesn't.

Livecode version that I tested this on: Livecode 8.1.9


I'm using a remote Mac - because Apple requires IOS Mohave and it is incompatible with my Mac. I did try downloading XCode 11.1 on my computer, it required MacOS Sierra 10.13 - and even though my computer is MacOS Sierrra, my computer doesn't have enough disk space for the higher versions (Apple increased the requirements).

So, I'm back to.... what are my options - and when will Livecode be compatible with IOS Mohave? :cry:

I have two remarks:

1 - You should be working with LC 9.0.3 instead of LC 8.1.9.

2 - According to your screenshot instead of Xcode 10.1 you have Xcode 9.2

Moreover, about:
when will Livecode be compatible with IOS Mohave
I can assure LC 9.0.3 is compatible with MacOS Mojave as this is the version I ran on my Mac.

finally regarding:
I'm using a remote Mac...
I don't nothing about this but my guess it has nothing to do with your problems.

In short for me you should properly install LC 9.0.3 + Xcode 10.1 and will be good to go.
Simon
