Hi, everyone!!! Is there a way to use LUA in XCode 4? Thanks!!! [import]uid: 40281 topic_id: 9960 reply_id: 309960[/import]
What do you mean by “use in XCode4”? Do you mean just coloring Lua code and functions in the XCode editor? There’s a small plug-in for that; I do all of my coding in XCode 3.2.5 with Lua commands and everything is colored for easy reference.
On this note: *another* XCode download? There goes another 3+ f*@$&in’ GIGABYTES of download that I have to queue up during the night or look around for an unlocked WiFi network (terrible of me, I know!) so I don’t get charged outrageous fees for going over my monthly bandwidth. Apple NEEDS to find a better way to distribute these absurdly huge SDK kits. I wonder if a PATCH has even occurred to them…
OK, I’m done griping now.

Thanks, Ignis. Could you show me the link to plug-in? [import]uid: 40281 topic_id: 9960 reply_id: 36345[/import]
Here’s a link to the plugin, pulled directly from Ansca’s documentation. I think this is the plugin I used, but there might be others if this doesn’t work. Some Lua-specific forums might turn up additional results.

Also, if you’ve developed using XCode before, you’ll know that it works great with the devices (using the Organizer window) and it’s equally great for installing/managing Corona apps, etc. I use XCode for all of my app transfers now… no more iTunes micromanagement

I just researched this and you are correct. This is unfortunate.
Some interesting comments here:

I have not “upgraded” to XCode4 yet, and judging by some of the comments above, I won’t be doing so any time soon. It appears that 4 is really suited for Obj-C development, and less so for other languages like Lua. If you’ve already installed 4, apparently you can re-install 3 in a different directory and roll back to using that for Lua/Corona. Otherwise, there are other editors out there… some free, some costing. Personally I’m going to stick with XCode 3.2.5 until (for whatever reason) I am “forced” to upgrade.
