Unable to build application for simulation

Post by simon.schvartzman » Tue Jul 29, 2014 1:01 am

Hi team, i´m sure this is a very basic problem but I´m new to Livecode and have not been able to find the answer searching the internet and the forum.

When trying to Test my very first application, using the iOS simulator I´m getting the following error messages:

Could not find pLIst Template for simulator 7.0 target

Unable to build app for simulation: could not find pList Template for simulator 7.0 Target.

My configuration is:

OS X 10.9.4
iOS Simulator Version 7.0 (463.9.4.2)
Livecode Commercial Edition 6.7.0 - dp - 6

Many thanks in advance to help me with this very frustrating experience so far.

Best!

I recently downloaded LC 7.0 and am getting the same message when I try and test in the IOS sim. I am using x-code 5.1.1. Any one have any recommendations?

FireWorks, please find below the answer I got form LiveCode support that fixed the problem for me:
Thank you for your request.

This error will occur as LiveCode will still be referencing the 7.0 simulator.

To resolve the issue, you will need to select the new 7.1 simulator from the
Development—>Test Target menu.

I don't seem to have a 7.0 SDK in either Xcode 5.1.1 or Xcode 4.6.3. Hmmm... any ideas? Didn't find one on the apple developer site. Do you all have the 7.0 SDK?

FrieWorks I did Quote the wrong answer in my previous post, please see the right one below
Dear Simon,

Thank you for your request.

What you are experiencing seems to be a bug in LiveCode as I am able to
replicate the issue on my test setup. As this is the case, I have filed a report
on the issue with our Quality Control Team.

The issue seems to only apply to iOS 7 simulators, so I would suggest upgrading
your Xcode version to the latest stable release (5.1.1) as this contains the 7.1
simulators.
You should get the iOS Simulator Version 7.1 as part of XCode 5.1.1.

Hope it helps, it did for me, once I downloaded XCode 5.1.1 and then selected IOS 7.1 simulator on the Test Target of LiveCode everything worked fine.
Simon

Everything works find in LC 6.7 with Xcode 5.1.1. The problem is with LC 7.0. I will just delete it and wait for a stable version to emerge.

New to Live Code. iOS developer for 5 yrs. Tried a very basic app, running xCode 5.1.1 and LC 6.7. iOS simulators are not available (all grayed out), and yet as you can see I have 7.1 in my xcode, yet the mobile support in LC says that SDK7.0 is not available (which it is)

Hi dkardell,

1. welcome top the forum! :D

2.
... iOS simulators are not available (all grayed out)...
did you check "iOS" in the Standalone builder settings?
Sounds like you didn't!


Best

Klaus
