Thanks a lot for the clarification.
Was wondering what would happen with the new iOS 9 update.
Have just upgraded to xCode version 7 and things are no longer working well.
Every time I first try a build, I’m told
"Corona Simulator: The Xcode iOS SDK located at “/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer” is missing the following components:
copypng
codesign_allocate
Please re-install Xcode.
Xcode is required by Corona SDK and needs to be installed to build iOS applications.
Press the “Install Xcode…” button to go to the App Store and get Xcode. When it is installed, build for iOS again."
I follow the link to the App Store and am given the “Open” option. The first time I did this Xcode initialised.
When I try the build again I get:
Code signing identity: “iPhone Distribution: Freida van Staden (85SEH2L69F)” (***********************)
2015-09-19 08:52:11.608 Corona Simulator[641:10022] Runtime error

?: in function <?:822>
2015-09-19 08:52:11.614 Corona Simulator[641:10022] iOS build failed (5)
HELP!
PS I have redacted the Code signing identity
Did you run Xcode by hand after installing it? It has to download more stuff.
Rob
I think so - I’ll do it again to be sure.
I’ve just manually started xCode and it started straightaway - I now realise that clicking the “Open” in the App Store would have run it manually and it did do some stuff but I recall a couple of error messages which from memory happened the last time I did an xCode upgrade and they didn’t seem to matter.
And once again when I tried a fresh build I’m still told that xCode needs to be installed so I’m really going round in circles!
More info:
I have searched for copypng in Xcode.app and found it in
Contents/Developer/usr/bin
and codesign_allocate I found in
Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin
Managed to find the Xcode install log:

I’m not sure how helpful the log will be. I would completely remove Xcode and re-install it fresh!
Rob
Had a feeling you would say that - ok - here I go - slow broadband here so it will be a while befeore I report back!
Well I tried! Somehow the new install ended up on external drive - have no idea how! Copied it to its correct position. On starting there was no evidence of extras downloading.
Before this install I deleted:
Applications/Xcode.app
and
Library/Developer/Xcode/DeveloperPortal\ 7.0.db*
I guess that’s not enough? Feels like I’m back in the Windows world! Anyway after all this work, there’s no change.
Any more suggestions?
Thank you for your patience … Peter
I give up!
I got rid of Xcode completely according to:
https://www.reddit.com/r/swift/comments/3fimsd/how_to_uninstall_xcode_properly_other_than_just/
did the whole wretched 8G download again and nothing has changed!
What a waste of a whole day!
Have no idea what to do now.
What does xcode-select -p when typed from the command line print out?
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
That’s what it should be. Have you googled the errors you’re getting?
Of course! I spent all day yesterday searching and trying but I have not discovered anything helpful. I think I’ll try restoring xCode 6 from Time Machine or failing that re-installing it if it’s still available.
You can download 6.4 from the link in my first post. I actually ended up doing that rather than using 7.0, because we needed to submit to iTunes and didn’t want to spend extra time testing xcode 7.
Thank you Alan.
Managed to get Xcode 6.4 installed ok and to finally do a successful build but I had to ignore this message:
"The version of iOS SDK (8.4) that’s installed on this computer does not match the target iOS version (8.3). You may encounter issues building or incompatibilities at runtime.
You should consider updating your version of Xcode or using xcode-select to enable a compatible version."
What should I do about that?
Peter
Update Corona SDK to a daily build 2708 or later. We are up to 2720 and that’s the daily build I would currently recommend.
