iOS Simulator - a mystery after upgrading to LC 7.1.1
Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2016 6:51 pm
So far I was happy with using LC 7.0.6 to write a small mobile app, and I could:
- use iOS Simulator 8.3 on my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.10.5) with Xcode 6.4
- build a standalone which worked fine on iPhone or iPad.
But I needed to get rid of a LC 7.0.6 bug in connection with mobilePick function (bug #15816) and I decided to switch to the next stable version 7.1.1.
Here is the sequence of my attempts:
1. In LC/Prefs/Mobile Support, I tried to use a more recent version of Xcode, namely 7.2.1 with SDK 9.2, but I had the warning message: "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK. Selected Xcode must have an iOS SDK among 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.2, 8.4, 9.1"
2. I decided to go back to Xcode 6.4, and everything seemed OK with the small green square.
3. I have checked that I could launch the iOS Simulator from Xcode (version 8.4, SimulatorApp-565.9).
4. I loaded my app with LC 7.1.1 and I checked again that nothing had to be changed in the "Standalone Application Settings".
5. I checked that I CAN BUILD A STANDALONE, which works fine on my iPhone.
6. But when I try to use the iOS Simulator, I reach the step "Launching app..." and I can only obtain the recurrent following message: "The simulator seems to be taking a long time to launch the application. Do you wish to continue trying?". Whatever my reply "Yes" or "No", the "Standalone Builder Progress" window remains visible, LC does not react to any action and I have to quit LC from the Finder.
7. Before trying again, I have deleted my app which was loaded on the Simulator since the time I used LC 7.0.6, but I still get the same message, and I can't load my app any more.
Would anyone know what I have not done, or not done properly so that I can't use the Simulator ?
Thanks for any assistance !
