LiveCode 7.0.5 and Xcode 6.4

[SChamblee]

In LiveCode 7.0.5 when I go to Preferences , mobile support, add entry, then I select Xcode in the Applications folder I get an error. The chosen folder is not a valid ios SDK. Selected Xcode must have an iOS SDK among: 5.1,6.1,7.1,8.2,8.3. Is there going to a fix for this issue or what is the best way to get iOS development going on my MAC book Pro. Thanks for all the help.

I installed Xcode 6.3.2 which works with LiveCode 7.0.5, so I guess I have to wait for an LiveCode update to allow it to work with Xcode 6.4.

Hi SChamblee ,
I recently upgraded my iPad to iOS 8.4 and downloaded xCode 6.4.
I met the same error
Where did you download xCode 6.3.2. ?
Best regards

I got it from here:

https://developer.apple.com/downloads/?name=Xcode

Download it, and instead of dragging it into the apps folder, I created a subfolder in apps called "XCode 6.3.2" and put it in there.

Thanks MrFollies for posting the link, I was having trouble locating the link.

When I was installing it detected I already had another version so it ask if I wanted to over write or keep both, I selected keep both and it created a xcode2 folder and then I pointed LC to this xcode2 folder.

Hello,

I am trying to upload a video on LC v.8.0, by simply dragging and attaching the video. I have tried to change the video to an mpa, mp4 and mov however no joy.
When dragging the video, it does not appear with play/pause control.

Any advice will be much apprecited.

Thanks

Thanks Dave,

Im trying to upload a simple video on the app by dragging the icon accross the screen. From my research it should be quiet simple, however video box i drag does not have the play or stop buttons.

Could this be down LC version or video format?

Thanks

Hi - I'm afraid I still don't have a clear picture of what you want to do - could you upload some code, give us details of the platforms involved, where are you uploading from and to? are you getting any error message? etc etc

As to LC8 - both versions are dp (developer preview) and therefore incomplete and liable to be buggy so (depending on what you are trying to do) it could well be that your code works in LC7 but not in LC8...

Hi nelfty,

"uploading" means to load a file from a local machine to a server.
So I think this unlucky wording irritated some of us

So you want to display a video on iOS, right?

OK, then you cannot use the "player object" that you find in the TOOLS palette.
This will only work on the desktop platform, that's why you don't see anything on your devide/simulator.

On mobile you need to create "iOS native" objects via script!

Klaus,

If I want the app to operate on ios and android, will the same principle be applied?

I'm not sure, do not develop for Android, but I think so!
Check the dictionary for "mobilecreate" -> Supported platforms:...
