RE: LC 9.0.0 dp8 won't launch iOS simulator

Bill,

Great!. I just noticed that the original did not hit the use list. I composed 
that on my phone and it seems that email account will not post to the lists 
anymore. I'll get Heather to fix that. One addition... The alligator 
(OldXcodeVersions folder) should be nowhere near the applications folder. 
Preferably "in a galaxy far far away". My First stab was as a sub-folder in 
applications. I had a problem (could/could not have been related). I moved 
OldXcodeVersions folder to the desktop and there it stays.

Re: LC 9.0.0 dp8 won't launch iOS simulator

2017-08-11 Thread William Prothero via use-livecode 
Thanks for the ideas. I’ll do those things, Evergreen. I have been using iPhone 
6 and above, but tomorrow, after a night’s sleep, I’ll follow the suggestions.

Thanks!

Re: LC 9.0.0 dp8 won't launch iOS simulator

2017-08-11 Thread panagiotis merakos via use-livecode 
Hi Bill,

In LC 9dp7 (or dp8, not 100% sure), we removed support for 32bit
simulators. This means that if your simulator is set to iPhone SE or
iPhone5, the standalone will not launch. So you have to choose a 64bit
simulator (iphone6 and above).

Best regards,
Panos
