i have the newest xcode, ios SDK, and everything, but still for some reason the button is disabled.

I’m i doing something wrong, missing something?(i’m on trial, wanted to try corona out, but no luck…)

Any ideas?

Which build button is disabled? Is it the one in the menu or after you choose File–>Build–>iOS? [import]uid: 11809 topic_id: 8328 reply_id: 29714[/import]

You have to run it before you can build it. Just start your game then build it. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 1058 topic_id: 8328 reply_id: 29743[/import]

Maybe you can take a look over here and make sure you have all your certificates properly installed. It happened to me a couple of times forgetting to setup a certificate. XCode and iOS SDK has to be properly installed on your Mac too. Other than that, I can’t say. :\ [import]uid: 1058 topic_id: 8328 reply_id: 29746[/import]

Hello,

My Corona Simulator does not have a File Menu.
I’m new to the mac and have created a basic app on a PC.
I’m now moving to the MAC and attempting to create a device build. XCode is installed.

I can navigate to the main.lua file and open it from Finder, but the app does not display the File-> Open menu.
What am I missing?

You’re bumping quite an old thread and you already have your own thread on this topic.

An answer has been posted there by Jayant suggesting that as a new Mac user you may not understand quite how Mac menus work. Please refer to that thread and update it to let us know whether or not your issue has been solved. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 8328 reply_id: 54704[/import]
