external revDB not found for device

Post by strongbow » Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:22 am

Am trying to build an app for iOS with LC 5.5.5 and get the error:

Could not find external revdb for Device

though I can see that it's in the application subfolder:

/Tools/Runtime/iOS/Device/

I've successfully built the app with previous versions of LC (but now that doesn't seem to work either!!). I think this might have started since I installed a community version of 5.5.5 and then later installed the commercial version, but not sure. I have deleted the LC application and reinstalled but still the same error.

Has anyone else seen this error and is there a solution? (I've tried replacing the revDB file with that of an older version, which didn't seem to work either). Perhaps I should dump prefs etc?

Thanks for any pointers!

cheers

Alan

Have you clicked the 'mySQL' button in the iOS tab in standalone settings ?... this has caught me out before

Yep, sqlite in this case. The strange thing is that I just successfully built it again with 5.5.3 but can't with 5.5.5 commercial... or perhaps it's not possible with this version??? Weird.
