iOS SDK not showing in Preferences > Mobile Support

Hi,

I’m unable to see any iOS/Xcode SDK option in Preferences → Mobile Support.
Only the Android SDK section is visible.

Environment
• macOS 15.7.3
• LiveCode 10.0.3 (rc2)
• Xcode 16.2
• Mac Mini M1

What I’ve done
• Installed Xcode and opened it once
• Android SDK + JDK 11 are correctly detected
• Restarted LiveCode and macOS

Current behavior
• Preferences → Mobile Support shows Android SDK only
• No iOS / Xcode path option appears (see screenshot)

Is this a compatibility issue with Xcode 16.2 or macOS 15?
Do I need a specific Xcode version for LiveCode 10.0.3 rc2, or is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance.

Louis

I found the same thing!

I went back to LiveCode 10.0 and it appears :) https://livecode.com/system/account/all ... -downloads

@Jellobus: Since 10.0.1 LiveCode no longer needs the iOS SDKs to be configured in preferences - it only requires Xcode be installed. So if you have Xcode installed (any version since 12.4) - you should be able to build iOS apps for both device and simulator.

From the release notes:
The way iOS standalones are built has been changed so that there is no longer a requirement
for a specific version of Xcode with a specific version of the iOS SDK to be installed.

Building iOS standalones, both for device or simulator, still requires a version of Xcode to be
installed but that can be any recent version back to Xcode 12.4.

Updating or changing Xcode versions will no longer impact the building of iOS standalones
through LiveCode.
