Xcode, iOS 14 and Livecode

You can have more than one version of Xcode on your system. You can install a more recent version as not to get that error message and still build against a previous version. When I say "install" I mean download from the Apple dev site. I don’t even have an xcode version in the Applications folder. I keep all versions in a separate folder renamed to their version. You just have to make sure LC build's against the one it expects. Using these commands in the a terminal window:

To see what your building against==> xcode-select --print-path
To change the build path==> sudo xcode-select -switch "/path/to/xcode_xx.xx.app"
where xx.xx is the renamed xcode.app to include version.

Ralph, thanks - it worked! I was taking the error messages too seriously. They say “the current device configuration is unsupported. This phone is running iOS 14.0.1… “. Enough to stop me in my tracks.

Thanks so much for that.

My beta version works very nicely in the Simulator available in Xcode 11.5, which I understand is the one LC9.6.1 expects one to have. I’m simulating an iPhone XS, largely because I’ve got one of thos,e so it makes a good testbed.

I just don’t know how to get my app into my own phone - publishing the app in the Store will of course come later.
