LiveCode 10 and Xcode 15

[Mark Smith]

I always encounter these challenges when update season arrives. It started with my phone which mysteriously upgraded itself to iOS 17.4.1 (I don’t remember authorising that but it’s a confusing landscape so perhaps I did). Instantly my app Organize which I virtually depend on to live stopped working with the most helpful message “Organize” is no longer available. It always shocks me when a company with Apple’s resources cannot get their story straight. Of course it’s “available”. I can see it on the desktop, in fact I just selected it. Nevertheless, I know what they mean… “Organize” is no longer compatible (having been built on LC 9.6.10 or maybe it was .11, can’t recall at the moment, and some ancient version of Xcode … you can find it all in my signature line on the LC forums). Alright, so I have to upgrade. I start with the FAQ. The only entry that lists iOS 17 is the last one

LiveCode 10.0.0 dp-7
Xcode 15.0.x
Mac OS 13.4+
iOS 17.0

So I start with Xcode 15.x and download that. That tells me my OS is not capable of handling it, I need to update the OS. So then I check the System Settings/Update option in macOS and it suggests Sonoma 14.4. Fine, down it comes. Now Sonoma 14.4 says my Xcode is not up to date so I have to RE-update that to 15.3. Now Xcode runs and I have the right SDK available for iOS 17.4.1 (the SDK is 15.3 I believe… too many numbers to keep track of). So now I download the latest LC 10 DP-7 and go to Mobile Support to select the SDK and I get an error saying I need an Xcode that has an SDK among 14.4, 15.2, 16.2, 17. But, but, but… what SDK is in Xcode 15.3 if not 17?

What now?
