unsupported mismatch...and one confused muppet

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

So I’m trying to build my app and I’m getting…

‘9.0 unsupported: local iOS sdk is 9.2…’

Being a noob with macs I’m a little confused about terminology.

I’ve been faffing around trying to upgrade various things and my current situation is:

xCode = v7.2

corona = 2015.2731

OSX yosemite 10.10.5

And I’m getting this unsupported message. Can anyone tell me what I need to upgrade/downgrade to get rid of the unsupported mismatch message?

On a further note. I don’t properly understand apple terminology. Is the operating system on my mac the same thing as the ‘iOS’? (stupid question I know). if so, how does the Yosemite number correspond to the the iOS number. I’m presuming from the mismatch message that I need my iOS to be ‘9.2’, and I rather dumbly assumed yosemite ‘10.10.5’ meant i was at iOS ‘10.10’.

Which obviously isn’t the case. (stop sniggering at the back there!). With iPhones/ipads it seems quite simple…the iOS term is used…ios8, iso9, ios9.1  etc etc. But my macbook seems to have all sorts of different names and numbers for its OS.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi @alex.scarrow,

The message you’re getting is basically associated with the fact that the version of Corona you’re running (2731) is associated with a version of the iOS SDK previous to the one associated with the version of Xcode you’re running (7.2). Generally speaking, this shouldn’t affect your iOS builds through Corona and you can safely proceed.

As for the numbering scheme, the answer is a firm no on the version of iOS in relation to OS X, meaning, iOS is currently around 9.2 but OS X Yosemite is 10.x, El Capitan is 11.x, etc. Furthermore, the version of Xcode (currently 7.2 or 7.3 beta) is not at all related to the version of iOS or OS X. So basically, you can’t relate these numbering paths whatsoever.

Hope that clarifies things slightly. :slight_smile:

Thanks Brent

So, looking around it seems either I need to hang on for your next build (2788?) or revert to Xcode 7.1. Is that correct?

On a separate note…when trying to build today, corona keeps trying to build from an old main.lua file, even though I’ve renamed it main-old.lua

Is there some log somewhere that I need to flush out?

Many thanks :slight_smile:

@Alex,

Is there a reason why you don’t want to use thelatest daily build?  If you use the current daily build you will solve a lot of your versioning issues and you can update your system to the latest OS/xCode available.  (That is of course if that would not goof up other tools you use…be careful about updating OS X if you have older tools in use.)

Are you staying on 2731 for storyboard?  If so, you can simply download storyboard.lua and copy it to your root game folder (where main.lua lives) and you’ll be good to go on newer builds.
