LiveCode Forums

Testing the beta of mountain lion currently and current live code version runs flawless. Short compiled stack runn aswell without problem.

Good to hear.

Many thanks for the report.

One question I have is in regards to "Gatekeeper", and code-signing. Are LiveCode desktop apps able to be code-signed - ie., gatekeeper-ready?

I think I just found the answer to my own question re: sandboxing, here:

Thanks for the info.

Salut,

I installed mountain lion.
This deleted the developer folder, xcode is now someplace else
I had to install xcode 4.4 because xcode 4.3.3 will not run in mountain lion
try running livecode - it can't find the folder
there is no way to select the new developer folder in livecode.
(preferences are looking for a file and no file works)

So LiveCode is broken now.

try emailing support@runrev.com and see if they can offer any suggestions..

XCode is now an app in your Applications folder. You need to reset the LiveCode mobile prefs to use that app. Just select the XCode application itself, you don't need to open the bundle. LiveCode will know what to do.

Here is the fix I finally figured out:

1) Completely remove LiveCode.
This is not as simple as it sounds. There are all kinds of places where LiveCode embeds itself. Simply dragging it to the trash will not work. I tried AppZapper, but it didn't do a good enough job, it only removed 3 files. Then I tried "CleanApp". It did an awesome job of cleaning everything out. (It lists quite a few files to delete. Don't select all, just the ones it recommends.)

2) install livecode

3) open the preferences

4) Go to mobile preferences and select the ellipses for the setting "Location of developer root for OS 5.0 and above"
(DO NOT SELECT the second row. This will cause problems to complicated too explain.)

5) point it at that new version of Xcode (4.4).

And that's it. Only took me much much tooooo long to figure that out.
(LiveCode needs to produce a proper uninstaller. And a working "Reset to defaults" function.)
(LiveCode should also be a lot smarter about Mountain Lion installs.)

That's probably overkill, you only need to remove your preferences file. On OS X it's in the user library folder in:

~/Library/Preferences/RunRev/livecode.rev

I'm not really sure even that much is necessary though. Just use the "X" in the path fields to delete both mobile paths in the Mobile pane of Preferences in LiveCode, then redirect the top one to the new XCode. You may need to re-launch LiveCode after that.

Yep, worked just like that for me...up and running.

Oh for a working X.

Clicking X in the path did nothing. That's why the extensive measures were required.
If I knew which file contained the strings, I would have removed them only, but how does one figure such things out?
There is no documentation for LiveCode indicating which files can be removed and what they contain.

None of the IDE code itself is documented, but it seemed reasonable to me that everything done in IDE Preferences is stored in its prefs file. I'm not sure why your "X" buttons aren't working though, I've never seen that happen.

I found the little 'x' buttons didn't work either, so I used the button to reset all defaults, then just selected the Xcode app as mentioned in earlier posts. (and of course set my other preferences again).

Cheers,

Adrian
