Anyway it has caused me a lot of trouble with the iOS simulator, but that may be because the environment I’m working in is rather out of date apart from LC itself (I’m using 9.5.1). LC Support are looking at it for me, but I already guess that they will say “it works here”, since they will be running the latest version of XCode etc. which is not permitted with my setup.
