Unable to start simulator (C++ exception)

Post by aaaha » Sun May 10, 2020 1:16 pm

Hi together,

I can't start the native Xcode simulator due to the following LC error message:

Unable to start simulator: 634,0,0,unknown C++ exception 573,258,1,revIPhoneSetSimulatorSDK

What I have done so far:
- Settings - Mobile support - referenced the Xcode App (green indicator)
- Created a new Stack iPhone 5
- Standalone Application Settings - Build for iOS - checked + iPod and iPhone + 13
- Test
=> Error

What I also tried:
- Launched Xcode
- Created simple hello world project
- Build and run current scheme (which opens the desired Simulator)
- Tried running LC test then
=> Error

I am using these versions: LC 960 dp4 indy, Xcode 11 dot 3

These are my very first steps with live code ;-)

Many thanks in advance!

Btw: Holly Molly was this difficult to post this question!! I needed to debug my text in order to find out what "13" was that I needed to remove, in order to post this question. Obviously a number followed by a dot is interpreted by this form as an URL or image.

Well, I have no answer for your actual problem, however, I *might* be able to help your dealing with the forum until you hit 8 posts :wink:

It is much as you surmise, however, until your 8th post you can avoid the aggravation simply by inserting a space between char and period, i.e.
13.1.x
would become
13 . 1. x

Hopefully someone who works on Macs will come along and answer your far more important question :D

Hello aaaha,

Welcome to LiveCode.

Try these steps:

1. Open Simulator app from Xcode:

Open Xcode, go to Preferences -> Developer Tools -> Simulator

2. Wait until the Simulator fully loads, i.e. until it shows the Home screen
3. Go back to your stack in LiveCode, and click on the Test button

I hope this will work for you.

Kind regards,
Panos

Wonderful, it worked!

Instead of creating a test project in Xcode and opening the simulator form there and THEN initiating LC to do so also, I just opened the simulator from the splash screen from Xcode (without any project in the background).

Thank you!
