I have not been able to create new IOS apps for over a month because current LC does not support Xcode 10.1.

Dose anyone know when the next update will be available?

Thanks,

It will be supported in 9.0.3 which should be out pretty soon, but I don't know the exact date. In the meantime you can download Xcode 10.0 from the developer portal if you don't want to wait.

I certainly vote for the update. The main reason I'm trying to learn LC is to re-produce some iOS apps. I am using Xcode 10.1. If producing for mobile in LC doesn't work well, I'm stuck in mud. I'd rather not be dependent on earlier versions of Xcode. I just want things to "work".

It's always like this. Apple changes Xcode, LC updates itself to be compatible, and the fix is in the next release. Releases are usually only a few weeks apart but can be longer if something critical takes more time. We're about due for an update now.

Thanks jacque! Boy do I get it! I have the same problem when working with my apps and all the platforms that go into them. Apple, Xcode, and my esoteric apps can make me CRAZY!

Yeah, one of the reasons I prefer Android development is because of Apple's constantly moving targets. Not to mention their restrictivenes.

BTW, I like your tagline.

@Jackie or anyone who knows the answer:

Before I get too far into LC, I want to be sure that everything flows smoothly when testing on the simulator or device. Hmmm. Not flowing...

I set up the stand alone application settings for iOS like this: I had previously downloaded and installed Xcode 10.0. When I attempted the deployment on a simulator, I got the following popup message box error. How do I handle this? Did I make a mistake?
As always... TIA -Rachel

I hope someone else chimes in because I haven't built an iOS app for some years and a lot has changed since then. I'll take a few guesses and hope someone will correct me where I'm wrong.

You need to fill out all the panes in the iOS standalone settings, not just the first one. There are many images to provide and other information. Also I think you need a development profile, though I'm not sure if it's required in the simulator.

I'm going to need updated info myself pretty soon so I'll be watching this thread.

Thanks Jackie,

I thought that I'd only need the basics to run on the simulator. I have all the necessary information. I'll give that a try.

Profile is required to sign the app. Also, for iOS you must have a splash image for each device resolution that you intend to natively support.

Also, at times it helps to start the emulator before building the test app.
