The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK

[jncolligan]

Hello,

I've successfully linked the android SDK to Livecode > Preferences > Mobile Support > Android SDK > Location of Android development SDK root:

I'm not able to do the same for the IOS SDK.

When click "add entry" in Livecode > Preferences > Mobile Support > IOS SDK:

I receive the LC MsgBx asking: "What version of Xcode do you have installed?"

I click the "4.3 or later" button and select the directory "Applications" and select the "Xcode app" and click the "open" button; which is the only valid button available to me when I select Xcode from the application list.

I then get the error message: "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK."

I have also attempted to select the Xcode app file, right clicked it and selected "Show Package Contents" to find the files that might contain the SDK and have found the file MacOSX19.9.SDK and copied this to a location that i could find from the Livecode Mobile Preferences IOS SDK Add Item Browser, but am still not able to establish the link and get the same message: "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK."

I would be grateful if someone might let me know what i'm missing,

Thank you in advance,

Joe

Hi jncolligan,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. If I remember correctly, only LC >= 6.6 is compatible with XCode 5.1x.


Best

Hi Klaus,

That's actually quite comforting to find out. Now i feel less like a moron

So i'll focus on the Android environment then; i'm sure i'm a lifetime away from actually wanting to put something into the iOS production environment

Thank you for your reply,

Joe

P.S. Just updated my LC App and the link just appeared! Happy Days!

Would you be able to detail how you got the Android SDK to work? I've been getting this same error for the Android SDK.

Hello Gambiteer

If memory serves me correctly:

I downloaded, unzipped and placed this folder in my applications directory:

adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321

i then drilled into that folder structure until i reached the android file which was:

adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321 > SDK > Tools > and then clicking the 'android' file that looks like an app (if you select it, it is a UNIX executable 3k in size).

This opens up the Android SDK Manager and i installed 4.2.2. down to 2.2 and then i went to "mobile preferences" and selected the file path that got me back to the top directory: adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321

I think that's what i did

please let me know if how you get on, i might be able to help you if you get stuck somewhere based on a step i forgot i did

Hi guys, the Livecode staff have said that this will be fixed "asap" but there's a workaround right now:
