iOS SDK and how to get it?

Post by Ultravibe » Mon Nov 09, 2015 4:46 pm

Hello guys!
I've experienced in developing apps for PC, but now I need to do some thing for iPhone. In order to develop those apps I need iOS SDK to be installed. AppStore tells me that Xcode 7.1 contains SDK for iOS 9.1. But how to set it up in Livecode?
Problem is: iOS SDK is not an external file or application. And when I'm in Livecode's preferences push "add sdk" in "mobile support" tab, it says me that file DOES NOT CONTAIN any SDK. What am I do to get iOS SDK and how?

The iOS SDK is part of the Xcode software and it's only available for Mac, so if you are Developing on PC you will need to install virtualization software like VMWare or VirtualBox.

Once you have Xcode installed on a Mac go to LC Preferences > Mobile Support and click the 'Add Entry' button then navigate to the Xcode app, select it and clicl OK, The indicator box should turn green and you are you are ready for the next step.

This lesson may help, although I don't think you need to pay Apple the $99 membership any more if you are just testing on your own device.
