ios simulator error message SDK not found

Post by garyth123 » Tue Oct 29, 2013 1:48 pm

Hi,

I'm new to iOS dev and LC. I'm getting the error message in the attached screenshot.

As you can see from the green box in the background LC knows the location of the iOS development SDKs.

I'm using LC 6.1.2 rc 2.

I have Xcode 5, 4.6, and 4.4 all within their own folders in my Applications folder.

This seemed to happen after I downloaded Xcode 5, I probably wasn't thinking of the possible side effects for LC.

Any ideas on how I can point the simulator at the correct SDK?

I'm building for iPod, iPhone, and iPad, 4.3 or later and Universal. Not sure that I understand about Universal and the different choices there.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

TIA

Hi Garyth123,

The option to build for specific instruction sets has been removed in LiveCode 6.1.2 so it is no longer possible to select “Universal”

I would also remove/re-link your versions of Xcode as their directories may have changed with your recent Xcode 5 install. You will then be able to check if the directories displayed in the Xcode entry field of LiveCode match the actual directory Xcode is present in.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

Thanks Neil. I have installed LC 6.1.2 and removed/re-linked my three Xcode versions and again I am getting the green square, but still the same error when I try to view my app in the simulator.

I suppose the other possibly aggravating thing that I have done recently is to install Mavericks at the weekend.

Any suggestions as to where I go from here?

Hello garyth123,

I have the same problem and I'm not able to use iPad Simulator 5.1 and 6.1.

What I did was going to Development > Test Target > iPad Simulator 7.0, so I'm testing my app on iOS 7, even when in my standalone application settings I choosed iPad 5.1 or later.

I hope that it helps.

Daniel

Hi All,

I am not able to get IOS SDK 7.0. I have installed xcode 4.4, 4.6, 5.0 and even 5.0.1 however I can't get the 7.0 SDK associated in livecode (see screenshot) and hence can not build or test out on the simulator for IOS 7. Interestingly the simulator give's me the option for IOS 7 from the Hardware -> Device options. Does anyone have a clue as to what I could do to resolve this?

This was resolved with the latest xcode
