We don't need a Player (was Re: New(?) Idea for Standalones)

Tue Apr 13 20:11:22 EDT 2021

I tried that but I don't keep Xcode in the root of the Applications folder 
and the stack gave a warning. When I moved it there, the Xcode commands 
couldn't find it because I'd set the Xcode default to a copy in a subfolder.

Maybe a future update can determine the user's Xcode location. I have three 
copies because different versions of LC require different versions of Xcode.

What took the most time was figuring out what was wrong.
