Beta 7 - App doesn't start in iPhone Simulator

As I wrote on the Beta 7 release thread, my game (built with Corona Beta 7) doesn’t work in the iPhone simulator.
Is it possible that since I’m using Xcode with iOS 4, the build doesn’t work for compatibility reasons? [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 301537[/import]

I logged case #448, Xcode simulator build doesn’t work for Xcode 3.2.3 with OS 4.0.

If you are having a problem with the simulator, please report:

  • Xcode version (from about)
  • Xcode Simulator version (from about)
  • Any output in Corona Terminal

Eric you said that Xcode simulator build doesn’t work for Xcode 3.2.3 with iOS 4, and I have it as most of us. :wink:

Can you make it compatible with iOS 4 (in simulator)?

EDIT: My report and specs are the same OderWat wrote. [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4323[/import]

Eric,

I think all of us are obligated to be on Xcode 3.2.3 with iOS 4.0 according to Apple updating rules, so you should provide CORONA SDK according to that, shouldn´t you?

Well I think eric just made that observation… not telling that this is the reason.

Obviously every developer was and is forced to upgrade to the newest versions of the developer environment.

If they did not test that… I am really disappointed :slight_smile: [import]uid: 6928 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4331[/import]

Oh! Okay… So I misunderstood. [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4332[/import]

Dunno… I really hope that they did not miss to test their stuff with the current Xcode… That would be very short sighted :slight_smile: [import]uid: 6928 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4333[/import]

i’m building an iPad app, not iPhone so its not 4.0 [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4339[/import]

Well it is documented that it does not yet works for iPad currently! [import]uid: 6928 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4340[/import]

oh, where do you see documentation for beta 7? i couldnt find any included with my download (the PDFs that were in the older versions are missing) [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4341[/import]

Release notes. Under “Known Issues”:

Building for the Xcode Simulator only works for iPhone (3.0) builds. It does not yet work for iPad.

You find the releasenotes here… at the “bottom” it also lists some of the more important things about the new memory management:

The issue with building for Xcode simulator for iPhone OS 4.0 is fixed. Note that this does indeed require Xcode 3.2.3, it will not work on 3.2.2 or before. This was a server change so you don’t need to re-download. Please try again and let us know what you find out! [import]uid: 54 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4365[/import]

Perfectly working… thanks! [import]uid: 4883 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4367[/import]

Am I missing something ?
My app doesn’t launch and always return to the home screen in the xcode simulator…

I’m new to this tool, so maybe the error is obvious. Can somebody tell me please ?

The last lines in the terminal are :

@dklikinteractiv, what version of Xcode are you using? You need to use 3.2.3. [import]uid: 54 topic_id: 1537 reply_id: 4461[/import]
