iOS 16.4.1 breaks connection with LiveCode test feature

[Mark Talluto]

Hello everyone,

There may be a problem with iOS devices updated to 16.4 or 16.4.1 and Xcode 14.2 as a working combination. The issue between them is that devices may fail to prepare for development (error from Xcode).

Of course, you can continue to build iOS apps with Xcode 14.2 if you accidentally allow your device to upgrade to 16.4.1. You cannot test your app directly from the LiveCode IDE using the test button if your device has been updated to iOS 16.4 or 16.4.1.

You can build for TestFlight and run your app on your device that way. But, it is more cumbersome than direct testing from the LiveCode IDE.

I hope this public service announcement is useful to iOS developers using LiveCode. The short of it is do not allow your iOS devices to update to 16.4.1 for now.


Best regards,
