I just downloaded the latest Solar2d build 3730
if I try to build a simple bare-basics app or even one of the ‘sample code’ apps that came with this latest solar2d 3730 .. I get this error :
ERROR: build command failed: xcrun actool --output-format human-readable-text --warnings --export-dependency-info “/var/folders/m6/qchwv45j78sdy6bllfskphc80000gn/T/CLtmplJF54r/assetcatalog_dependencies” --output-partial-info-plist “/var/folders/m6/qchwv45j78sdy6bllfskphc80000gn/T/CLtmplJF54r/assetcatalog_generated_info.plist” --compress-pngs --enable-on-demand-resources YES --product-type com.apple.product-type.application --compile “/Users/bob/Desktop/CORONA CODE/__ Builds/Ios/EmitterBasic.app” --target-device iphone --target-device ipad --minimum-deployment-target 8.0 --platform iphoneos --app-icon AppIcon “Images.xcassets”
Xcode 26.4
Solar2d 3730

Thanks Kakula - but I get same error message.
What is surprising is, this is a solar2d sample app - ‘Graphics’. ‘EmitterBasic’. .. you would think as it comes with the newest build 3730 .. it would not crash
But thanks for the thought! I’m sure it is going to be something simple, I should know or have forgotten - it usually is.
It seems to get this far in the build process in the simulator output screen :
AppIcon83.5x83.5@2x~ipad.png
I wonder as this new build is 5 days old- maybe there is an issue in the build .. if I were to go back to the previous solar2d 3729 - I can’t build because that prev ious build was at 26.2 and my Xcode at 26.4 then it gave error :
26.2(UNSUPPORTED) local ios sdk 26.4 which does not match
so I am stuck using the newest build 3730.
thanks

I also got a build error, saying something about an icon. Does anyone know where I can generate updated icons for iOS and Android and try again?
Also, I’ve experienced the same issue and am stuck with the latest Xcode. Please, anyone, help us out here.
I’ve done a check online about this problem and it seems to be a Solar2D Build issue using the latest version of Xcode, which is used by Solar2D Build 2026.2730. Also Apple only requires a single 1024x1024 icon, apparently, Solar2D requires a complete list for compilation (according to Grok). So, we need some help here from the core Solar2D Dev team.
Just did a clean build with 2730, seems to working fine
if anyone experiencing this could give be there output with this command maybe able to help

I have attached image of the build window on my build attempt.
I am building for development, to test on my iPhone; not for distribution. I am using my appTest pro profile, I used just last week with previous 3729 build. So I can’t select the ‘build for App Store’ as was selected in your YouTube video. Not sure if that makes a difference. I tried changing to build for iPhone 16, 16plus, 16e all give same error.
Thanks
@cyberparkstudios you should be able to use 3729, that 26.2(UNSUPPORTED), just a warning and you should be able to build without issue
I just got a new ssd in my Mac mini and had it factory reset, will try to setup build with it but I have seen this issue when Xcode select is using older Xcode
@troy can you paste your full logs when try to build with iOS app with 3730
Thanks Scott ..
do you mean this output in the ‘simulator console’
here is the build attempt on ‘Basic Emitter’

Scott,
FYI. just downloaded 3729 .. tried to build ‘Basic Emitter’ same error
See attached - all the other choices for iOS sdk dropdown field are ghosted - the only choice I have does error
FIXED!
Apparently when I downloaded Xcode 26.5 a week or so ago, the iOS 26.5 did not get installed .. so I went and installed that …
both 3729 and 3730 and I was able to build my app and test on my iPhone with both solar2d builds.
Scott .. sorry for all the trouble Scott. it was all on my end. My bad!
Tony .. not sure that is same issue at your end .. but hope what I learned helps you.
Thanks
Bob
@cyberparkstudios The notes on the latest build 2026.3730 only supports Xcode 26.4 (not 26.5). So, how could you create a build with it?
I have successfully been able to build with Xcode 26.4.1, no longer fails. But I still have a version issue that occurs RE: TestFlight; see that here: My Latest Build is Missing in TestFlight - #5 by troylyndon
