Re: Connecting LC to Xcode
Maybe a deinstall of all xcode versions, reboot, reinstall may do a miracle. Seems like strange failures.

Good News! Audio Working with AVKit on iPhone 7 and 8
Yay! Good news! A build with 9.6 dp1 with xCode 11.1 with a fix for the new use of AVKit in iOS. On Test Flight my iPhone 7 and 8 users, who had failures previously on iOS 13+ with the mobile audio player built in LC9.5 ... now report that audio is working! More Apple Caveats: FYI: Don't be surprised or dismayed be the fact that Application Loader is missing in xCode. Go the App Store on the desktop. Search for "Transporter." Now it has an "Add App" on the home screen. After that is the same behavior as Application Loader, and took my SivaSiva.ipa as before.

Re: Connecting LC to Xcode
OK I took those steps but now when I launch Simulator I get this error: “Unable to boot device because it cannot be located on disk. Us eat device manager in Xcode of the simctl command line tool to either delete the device properly or erase the contents and settings.” I try selecting a device from the Hardware menu and can sometimes get one to load but then when I test from LC I get this error: “Unable to start simulator: 634,0,0,unknown C++ exception 573,228,1,revIPhoneSetSimulatorSDK" There is a new Developer folder (I renamed the folder for 11.2).

I don't know of a way to check this from within LiveCode using existing
tools. There is an API for checking which is documented here:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitraitcollection/1651063-userinterfacestyle?language=objc
It should be possible to wrap that API using LiveCode Builder. From what
I've read, I think you also need to respond to a trailCollectionDidChange
message in case the user changes the setting while your app is open:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uitraitenvironment/1623516-traitcollectiondidchange?language=objc
The easier (temporary) solution would be to tell the OS to use light
appearance for your app. It looks like there is an Info.plist key that you
can add which will force your app to use the light appearance. Perhaps that
will help in your situation?

iOS dark mode
Is there a way to determine if an iOS device has dark mode ("Dark
Appearance") enabled from within a LiveCode app?
The inherited default text color of a field is black, but is changed
to white by the OS when this mode is enabled (on a white background in
this case which makes it appear invisible). This seems to only affect
native mobile text fields, but not LC text fields.
There is a feature enhancement to support dark mode for macOS, but I
didn't see any reports for iOS.

I'm not asking for an engine change, just curious if there is a way to
check this so I can code around it. Perhaps mergNotify?

Re: Connecting LC to Xcode
Hello Marty, Hehe, OK, I think I know where the problem is. I had the same problem and spent a lot of time trying to figure out the problem, as the error message from the simulator is not informative at all. So, short description of the problem: By installing xcode11.x and its additional components, a couple of new subfolders were created in /Library/Developer/* folder. These new files contain the new CoreSimulator framework (of xcode11.x), which includes some changes. One of these is that it no longer allows installing apps to the simulator that do not include a particular key in the plist. Even if you uninstall Xcode 11 and install Xcode 10.1, this file is not replaced by Xcode10.1's equivalent (because the one from Xcode11 is newer, so it does not allow older ones to overwrite it). Solution: 1. Open Finder, and choose (from Finder's menubar) Go -> Go to Folder and enter /Library/Developer/ 2. Delete the /Library/Developer/ folder (or rename it to /Library/XCode11_Developer/) 3. In the terminal, type sudo xcode-select --install and press enter. This will show a dialog asking the user to agree to xcode's terms and conditions and then to install the additional components. Click "I agree" and then "Yes install them" 4. This will create a new folder /Library/Developer/, which will contain the correct additional components (i.e. including the CoreSimulator framework) from Xcode 10.1 5. Now type in the the Terminal sudo xcode-select -s This will hopefully work. Then, make sure you follow the instructions from the previous post (i.e. to launch the simulator first and then click "Test" in LC) Kind regards, Panos -- On Wed, 4 Dec 2019 at 19:55, Marty Knapp via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Yes those are the steps I’ve tried, only using Xcode 10.1 (couldn’t get LC > to accept 11.2).

We need to fix the Standalone Builder. If the build process has become too complicated for the simple and quick binding process this platform used to enjoy, it needs to be a separate process. We discussed this on the MetaCard project some years ago. I don't believe building a standalone in a separate process is harder than what we're attempting -- and failing at -- now. Indeed, given the layers of workarounds needed for the current complexity, it should be much simpler.

Re: Connecting LC to Xcode
What is your virtual device? I don't have this problem any longer with Xcode 11.1 (required for LC 9.6dp1), but in older versions the default iPad was an iPad Air and the default iPhone was an iPhone 5 (or 5s?) and the Simulator wouldn't fully launch. In the device Simulator you can launch a different device (you can have multiple devices running, but can't choose which device to Test to like you can with Android emulator). Launch a different device by going to the drop-down menu in Simulator and choose Hardware > Device > iOS > That seemed to work consistently for me.

Re: Connecting LC to Xcode
Yes those are the steps I’ve tried, only using Xcode 10.1 (couldn’t get LC to accept 11.2). When I click the “Test” button it starts going through the process of prepping the app then errors out with the message “Unable to start simulation: Failed to install the requested application” If I change the test target to my actual iPhone it installs it fine, so I guess I’ll just do that. > On Dec 3, 2019, at 11:25 PM, panagiotis merakos via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hello all, > > I usually follow these steps, and I almost never have problems with the > simulator: > > (Note: these instructions are for Xcode11.1, but are applicable to any > Xcode version) > > 0.
