Build error when building app for xcode simulator

spacewolf · September 19, 2014, 3:19am

Hi,

I get the following build error when I build for Xcode simulator:

Using additional build settings from: /Users/Rebekah/Alan/spacewolf/code/mobile/apps/PhotoDeco/Original/corona/v1.0/project/PhotoDeco/build.settings

How can I build for the Xcode simulator?

Corona SDK: 2014.2393

Xcode 6.0.1

Thanks

I get this error building for xCode6 simulator

If I do a normal build I do not get this error.

CyberCatfish · September 19, 2014, 7:29am

The same problem has occurred also in my environment.

It became impossible for me to use a simulator now.

I updated environment.

MacOSX 10.9.5 (Japanese)

CoronaSDK: 2014.2393

Xcode 6.0.1

Then, CoronaSDK will not start.

When it was going to start, the crash report was only outputted.

I uninstalled CoronaSDK and installed again.

Starting became possible now.

However, Simulator of Xcode cannot be connected.

Other problems are not found yet.

I would like to use a simulator.

Can anything do at me?

emi · September 19, 2014, 10:57am

I was about to post this. My xcode simulator never opens after build process.

I can see some errors on console, like this one:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSInvalidArgumentException’, reason: '-[_NSArrayM localizedDescription]: unrecognized selector sent to instance…

OS X 10.9.5

Corona latest daily build or 2393

Tim_Richardson · September 19, 2014, 12:25pm

I’m also getting this error in daily build 2439 when trying to build to the Xcode Simulator.

Tom · September 20, 2014, 1:04am

We are aware of the problem causing the exception error when trying to build for the Xcode Simulator with Xcode 6:

2014-09-19 17:24:02.735 ios-sim[42522:303] -[__NSArrayM localizedDescription]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f9771c00db0

If you are getting a different error when building for Xcode Simulator (e.g., build error 5), please post your entire Corona Terminal output here. (Please don’t post any Android or Windows errors.)

#mattew5, we are aware of the issue you posted and working to fix it.

I was hoping someone else with iOS Build Error 5 (on Mac Simulator) would post their console log along with the simulator build number and list any plugins they are using.

@spacewolf, are you using any plugins when you get your error? Can you list your build.settings file. Do you get the same error when building the HelloWorld sample (you should get the NSInvalidArgumentException error instead.)

Pasquale_EMM · September 22, 2014, 8:42am

@Tom

I am using the admob-v2 plugin.

Here is my build.settings:

I haven’t tried building the sample hello world app yet but I’ll give that a try

corona273 · September 22, 2014, 7:42pm

I’m using OS X 10.9.5, Xcode 6.0.1, and daily build 2014.2439. In other words, everything is current and updated last week. Only plugins referenced in build.settings are pasteboard and social.

Building for and installing on an iOS 8 device works. Building for the simulator gives this error:

dfoxinator · September 24, 2014, 7:56pm

Any update on the fix for this issue?

rmbsoft · September 25, 2014, 5:59pm

Got the same problem since today. Can’t compile any of my other projects, getting the same error as corona273

Last thing I did was updating one of my iPads to iOS 8, nothing else.

corona273 · September 25, 2014, 6:29pm

Corona says the latest daily build fixes the Xcode simulator problem. And they’re right. Building for the Xcode simulator now works, albeit with some warnings (I’m using OS X 10.9.5 and Xcode 6.0 and the latest daily build):

Build 2445 attempts to fix the Simulator Start issue for projects with and without plugins. There is an issue where it fails to work in the iOS Simulator for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Corona SDK tries to start the iOS Simulator using the same skin that was running the Corona. For now, switch the Corona SDK skin to iPhone 5 if you need to run the iOS Simulator.

rmbsoft · September 25, 2014, 9:01pm

Tom, i still have code 5 error with all my projects, building for DEVICE.

I can’t build any project, device or simulator.

See http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/51424-build-error-when-trying-to-build-for-device/#entry266647

Problem started today. Should I use public release build (2393a)?

rmbsoft · September 25, 2014, 9:07pm

Update: public release build (2393a) didn’t solve the problem. I’m stuck.

Tom · September 25, 2014, 9:14pm

@rmbsoft, what build were you using that gave you the build error 5? Is this on Windows or Mac.

The problem you’re seeing is not what we are talking about in this thread. This thread is about errors when building for the Xcode (iOS) Simulator.

rmbsoft · September 25, 2014, 9:29pm

Building using Mac.

Error: Unexpected build error. If you are not connecting to the Internet directly (for example you connect via a proxy server) you might want to try a direct connection to see if that solves the problem.

spacewolf · September 25, 2014, 9:29pm

Is there a fix for the simulator for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in the works? The whole reason I wanted to deploy to the XCode simulator in the first place was to get screenshots of my app at those resolutions
