Is 14.0 BETA ok to use for release build?

troylyndon · September 19, 2020, 1:59am

I noticed that iOS SDK: 14.0 BETA displays now with the latest XCode installed. Is it safe to create a build with this for a product release for the App Store, or should I still use 13.7

troylyndon · September 19, 2020, 2:13am

Well, I tried to upload a build with iOS SDK: 140.0 BETA and I received this error:

ERROR ITMS-90534: “Invalid Toolchain. Your app was built with an unsupported SDK or version of Xcode. If you plan to submit this build to the App Store, make sure you are using the versions listed in https://help.apple.com/xcode/mac/current/#/devf16aefe3b or later.”

Well, it turns out I can’t create a release build with 14.0 BETA with the new Xcode. So now, I’m installing XCode 11.7 and will use xcode-select to change it back so that I can create a release build.

Markus_Ranner · September 19, 2020, 10:51am

I can’t build at all since updating to Xcode 12. Using latest Solar build 3617 with the iOS 14 BETA sdk. Shouldn’t there be a “non-beta” version of the sdk now that iOS 14 has been rolled out?

This is my console log:

Markus_Ranner · September 19, 2020, 11:31am

@troylyndon Do you have both Xcode 11.7 and 12 installed in parallel?

I guess I need both, because without Xcode 12 I don’t have support for iOS 14 that’s installed on my iPhone. And without 11.7 I can’t seem to build with Solar… Am I right about this? Or is there something else I should do?

Markus_Ranner · September 19, 2020, 1:46pm

Never mind, I figured out how to do handle it. Installed Xcode 11.7 alongside 12.0, and then selected the 13.7 SDK for command line tools from within Xcode preferences. I guess that will have to do for now until we can build for iOS 14 using Xcode 12.

kaeguree · September 21, 2020, 12:18pm

@Markus_Ranner. you saved me. thanks

dmarques42 · September 21, 2020, 4:36pm

Is there a way to do this within Solar2D? I haven’t used Xcode for the final build. I am downloading xcode 11.7, but not sure what to do then. My submissions to the app store suddenly don’t work this week.

Note: I was able to deliver a version built with Corona 3176, but was later rejected for using UIWebView. (I don’t use it, but apparently discovered in the code.)

Markus_Ranner · September 21, 2020, 5:09pm

Solar iOS builds uses the SDK bundled with Xcode. Just open Xcode and select which SDK to use for command line tools (see my screen capture). After that you can build from the Solar simulator and your selected iOS SDK should show up there.

dmarques42 · September 21, 2020, 5:11pm

Thank you, I misunderstood. I see that now in xcode preferences, now have to install 11.7. Thanks for your work on this.

Much easier than I thought. Download, double-click, select in preferences. Thank you.

agramonte · September 21, 2020, 11:17pm

New version of Corona is out. So far my results have been good.

cr1x · September 22, 2020, 12:32am

With the new daily build does it still show as IOS SDK 14.0 Beta when build for ios?

For me it builds successfully now, but when I try to put it on my iphone, the app is added according to xcode installed apps but no icon shows, and I cant find the app on the actual iphone.

agramonte · September 22, 2020, 12:50am

it still shows as Beta. I have icons and I was able to send it to testflight although I have not downloaded it yet.

Markus_Ranner · September 22, 2020, 4:23am

I still can’t build my app with Xcode 12 (iOS 14 BETA) using latest build 3618. Looks like the stack trace is exactly the same as with 3617. Is there anything else that I need to do?

With the new version build 2020.3618, this problem is gone: https://github.com/coronalabs/corona/releases/

Even though the SDK listed on the Build screen is listing 14.0 BETA, it works on my iPhone in TestFlight. It uploaded to iTunes Connect without any difficulty using Transporter.

@vlads Thank you.

Markus_Ranner · September 22, 2020, 6:08am

Still not working for me. Same problem.

vlads · September 22, 2020, 6:18am

Working on it.

Markus_Ranner · September 22, 2020, 6:29am

Thanks @vlads!

peter_weiss · September 25, 2020, 12:29pm

I have exactly the same problem. Still not working for me with 2020.3619

agramonte · September 25, 2020, 3:29pm

What plugins are you both using? This looks like a particular plugin issue. Facebook maybe?
