MergBonjour problem

[jekyllandhyde]

I'm attempting to use the MergBonjour sample stack.

When I build to the IOS simulator (v. 9.3) Xcode 7.3.1, LIvecode 8.1.0 Indy, I get the following error:

Could not find appropriate build of external '/Users/johnsmith/Desktop/iphonefiles/mergBonjour.lcext' for Simulator-9_3

I have included the .lcext file in the copy files pane as per the instructions here: https://livecode.com/account/products/livecode

I also ticked MergBonjour in the new "inclusions" tab. Not sure if I am supposed to do both or one or the other? Quite confusing. In any case no matter what I try it doesn't seem like MergBonjour does anything?

Hi

I think with 8.1 the new 'Inclusions' panel supersedes the old way of doing things - assuming you've selected the "Select inclusions for the standalone application" option in the 'General' tab of the Standalone Application Settings dialog box).Perhaps try just using the external from the 'Inclusions' panel.

If you are going to continue using the 'Copy Files' panel, are you sure the external you are linking to is an up to date version?

Also, what minimum version of iOS are you building for? If you are using a fairly ancient setting, sometimes ramping this up to "9.3 or later" for a build can sort out problems (and you can then try bringing the minimum version down bit by bit to find the oldest workable setting)...

Good luck!

Thanks Dave, it seems logical for the inclusions panel to supersede things. Livecode must be bundling the extensions with the 8.1 download. I had tried it that way but your suggestion of building for IOS 9.3 or higher did the trick and got rid of the error message. I had my standalone app settings at IOS 9. No copy files settings needed.

Livecode needs to change their instructions on this page to reflect the new inclusions method: https://livecode.com/account/products/livecode
