Problem with connecting to SDK

Post by Futbol Masta » Fri Apr 25, 2014 2:52 am

I am relatively new to Livecode and am not a programmer by trade. I am in the beginning stages of developing an app for iOS and I have hit a road block. I have the latest versions of Livecode and Xcode. From what I understand I have to connect an SDK from Xcode and an iOS simulator to Livecode. So far I have figured out how to connect the simulator but I haven"t had any luck with connecting an SDK. I try to connect through Mobile Settings by choosing the "Add Entry" option. Here is where I think the problem is. From what I have read, when you download Xcode, it asks you to save the application in a certain folder. It did not do that with me. Every time I select Xcode with the add entry option, a window pops up to tell me it did not work. Anyone who can help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure you select the xcode.app (not just the folder that xcode is installed into). Does LC say "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK.", or something else?

Note that LC sometimes has problems with diacritics (umlauts) in the path. If you have non-ascii chars in the path to xcode, maybe that can cause problems. By default xcode is installed in it's own "development" folder at the root of your hard disk (not into the "application" folder).

oh it's also possible that you need to download an older xcode version?
