Xcode 15 Beta, Sonoma

Post by ace16vitamine »

Dear all,

I am already on MacOS Sonoma. The Problem is that LC needs Xcode 14.x which is not running on MacOS Sonoma (only Xcode 15).

Any Ideas how to get the deployment running in my constellation?

Thanks
Stefan

As an early adopter of Mac Sonoma all I can say is that I feel fairly stupid.

Dear Stefan,

LiveCode does not actually need Xcode 14.x to *run*, it just needs it to *be there*, since when building iOS standalones it uses some tools that are bundled within Xcode - it does not use the Xcode app itself.

So if you just have the correct version of Xcode 14.x installed in this machine, and point to it in the LiveCode mobile Prefs, things should work as expected.

Kind regards,
Panos

Hey,

sure, you are right. But I can not open Xcode to start the simulator, MacOS GUI is saying not compatible.

This works:
Download 14.x, extract to application folder. Start with Terminal: "open /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode"

Xcode ist starting :-)

Nice one :)

so, I take it you can open the simulator using the same trick?

Kind regards,

yes, complete Xcode is starting, seems that only the MacOS GUI is checking the version but with this trick it is working without checking..
