Xcode 8 or macOS sierra build issue.

Hi!

Has anybody had any link error when building an iOS app after having switched over the macOS 10.12 (Sierra), Xcode 8 and iOS 10 SDK? My app, which worked fine before, now won’t link as Corona will return this …

Sep. 19 03:25:09.638

There is definitely a “libc++.dylib” in the /usr/lib directory, so nothing has changed there.

I tried to revert to older versions of Xcode (7.3.1), iOS 9.3 and different versions of Corona (all the way from the most recent daily build to the last official release) and the problem persists …

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Just to make sure, you’re doing Simulator builds, not Enterprise builds?

You’ve tried build 2950 or later?

gsglawson · September 19, 2016, 5:08pm

I am seeing this same issue. It just started today as I was building yesterday with no issues. I have downloaded 2016.2951 and still seeing the issue. I am using Simulator to build and when I build for iOS I see the following in the console:

Sep 19 01:02:12.320 ERROR: Builder failed: ld: library not found for -llibc++

Sep 19 01:02:12.320 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I am running the following:

iOS SDK 9.3

xCode 7.3

Mac OSX El Capitan 10.11.6

Corona SDK 2016.2951

Android is building just fine.

rob · September 19, 2016, 5:16pm

I just did a build with 2951. I’m on Xcode 8 so I’m using iOS 10.0 SDK on El Capitan 10.11.6 and I didn’t get an error. What happens if you drop back to 2949?

Rob

gsglawson · September 19, 2016, 5:20pm

I was using 2948 this morning when I got the error. I will give 2949 the ole college try.

gsglawson · September 19, 2016, 5:35pm

2016.2949 gives the same error…

Is there anyway to disable the coronaAds.plugin on your side? The only real change I have made in the past 2 days is to add Corona Ads. I tried removing all references in my app to Corona Ads but when I build the plugin is still added.

rob · September 19, 2016, 5:46pm

Can I get a list of plugins you guys are using? Post your build.settings please.

gsglawson · September 19, 2016, 5:50pm

Facebook v4, toast, Corona Ads, notifications, sqlite3

gsglawson · September 19, 2016, 6:05pm

Rob, looks like it is Corona Ads. I removed that plugin from my build.settings and the build now works.

rob · September 19, 2016, 6:18pm

Thanks for that. I’ll see what we can do to fix it.

Rob

simonm · September 19, 2016, 11:14pm

Hi guys,

Yeah, looks like it was/is the Corona Ads plugin that’s causing the issue. Removing that from my build.settings has allowed the app to build just fine. (Switching to older / newer builds of the Corona Simulator didn’t help).

So, I can get a build working (which is good), but I’ll have to hold off on the Corona Ads dev for a bit …

Thanks for the help!

jack42 · September 20, 2016, 6:41pm

I’m having this issue too. Please fix or I’ll be forced to use a different ad platform :-(.

rob · September 20, 2016, 7:06pm

They are working on a solution.

rob · September 20, 2016, 7:07pm

Can everyone try again?

jack42 · September 20, 2016, 7:22pm

Working now, thanks Rob!

gsglawson · September 20, 2016, 7:28pm

Yes, working for me as well.

Rob, while we are on Corona Ads, can you take a look at this post? Thanks!

simonm · September 21, 2016, 12:30am

Sovled for me also.

Thanks for all the help!

bluetardis · September 22, 2016, 1:57am

Can you guys please post what you did to resolve?

I am using Corona Enterprise v2016.2828,

Plugin coronaAds

same error “libstdc++ is deprecated; move to libc++ with a minimum deployment target of iOS 7”

Xcode: “Version 8.0 (8A218a)”

rob · September 22, 2016, 4:01am

You need to get the latest Corona Enterprise and plugin archive file and get the latest Corona Ads plugin from it. You have to have daily build 2948 or later to deploy to Apple. 2949 has the release iOS SDK with it, so that’s our minimum recommended version. But the Corona Ads issue was fixed a few builds after that, so in your case just getting the latest every think (Enterprise, Simulator, Plugin archive) will be your best bet.

Rob

bluetardis · September 22, 2016, 4:10am

Hi Rob,

I have had an interesting morning. Have upgraded to latest of Corona - Am using CoronaEnterprisePlugins.2016.2954

(Enterprise and Plugins). On OSX 10.11.6 (happy to upgrade if this truly fixed the issue)

Xcode: “Version 8.0 (8A218a)”

Results:

I can build the sample project successfully

I can make a new project and add in other plugins (e.g. notifications) successfully

What would be helpful?

Please confirm the steps you used for Enterprise.

Please start with the “ProjectTemplates/App”

either:

a quick video of starting with the Tempalte app, adding in your coronaAds plugin and the ,bundle and the code from the ads app

or

a list of the steps.

I am going crazy as I can’t figure the source of the error and it looks like a 64bit change… “Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:”

Thanks

Peter
