Followed the steps recommended on this site for linking xcode to Corona, keep getting this message when I hit the build button:
File could not be opened. Corona Simulator only accepts folders containing a main.lua file
Does Corona not work with xcode 3.2.4 or is there a better free editor out there that is recommended, I can’t seem to find any recommendations on this from Ansca. [import]uid: 139310 topic_id: 24257 reply_id: 324257[/import]
Xcode is currently at 4.3.1 and you pretty much need to be running it (and on OSX Lion too) if you want to build apps for iOS 5.1 devices…
But that said, I know there was some Lua plugin for 3.2 that allowed Xcode to use syntax highlighting with Lua files. That broke with later versions of Xcode and I don’t think anyone has it working again.
Regardless, Xcode is just a text editor and it should be able to edit, albeit without a lot of flair, any text file.
If “Free” is a requirement, check out Text Wrangler or Komodo Edit.
If you can spend a few bucks, check out CIDER, CoronaComplete or Corona Project Manager, all three efforts by community members to build an IDE for Corona.
One of the best overall text editors which has Lua features (after you add them in, is Sublime Text 2. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 24257 reply_id: 98020[/import]
