Problem with build using Xcode 5.1

Armand

Hi,

Yesterday I updated my iPad to iOS7.1 and needed to update my XCode development environment to 5.1 in order to my iPad to be recognized again. However, now my Gideros build fails (exported project into XCode and build) where before it always worked flawlessly.

The error messages say something about arm64 architecture, so it seems that the complete environment now has migrated to a 64 bit platform. Apparently, it also expects Gideros to be compiled for 64 bit, which it isn't.

(Dozens of messages like ...libgideros.a: missing required architecture arm64... etc. etc.)

As I'm not used to developing iOS apps with XCode directly, I have no idea how I can change the compiler/linker settings to fall back to 32 bit mode, if at all possible. (And perhaps it should anyway; I guess the early iPads also don't support 64 bit.)

Building for other (simulator) targets works fine, so I guess it automatically falls back to 32 bit mode for those targets. However, as for now, I can't get it to build in 32 bit mode for my iPad Air.

Does anyone have a clue? If so, the replies to this forum post may help others that might get the same problem soon.

Thanks,

Armand.

Hi ar2rsawseen, thanks for the quick response! :-)

I needed a bit of a search in order to find the correct place in XCode to change, but it worked.

- Compiling for and running on my old iPad 1 (which I tried a minute ago) was no problem from the start because XCode 'knew' that it would't be capable of running 64 bit.
- Changing the settings as noted in the link you've given worked. To explain to other inexperienced users: double-click your project root and the main XCode window will show the project settings. In there, in the list 'General - Capabilities - Info - Build Settings - Buils Phases - Build Rules' click 'Build Settings' and make sure the line below indicates 'All' and 'Combined' rather than 'Basic' and/or 'Levels'. Then, under 'Architectures', perform the indicated changes.

One disadvantage of the current situation is that a new Gideros 'Export' will overwrite the build settings so it won't work any more and you'll have to re-apply the architecture changes. (Yes, I know you can circumvent this by using the 'Export assets only' feature of Gideros.) It would be great if the next update of Gideros will fix this issue. (Thanks in advance ;-) )

Cheers,

Armand.

@Armand it most probably will

@ar2rsawseen

Since we're somewhat on the topic, is there a case where I would need to re-export the whole project and not just assets only? Typically, I export the complete project once and then just assets thereafter.

ar2rsawseen

@eezing well, sometimes when there is an update in Gideros which made changes to the xcode project organization then you should do full reexport in order to upgrade to new changes

Hi - The link for the article

http://members.giderosmobile.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=94

is no longer valid. Help?

I'm using:
Xcode Version 6.1.1 (6A2008a)
OSX 10.9.5

And getting emails from iTunes Connect saying "Missing 64 bit support" and when I try to turn it on following various directions on Stack Overflow, etc. My build fails locally with similar errors (about 31)

"ignoring file /Users/velobuff/Documents/Sites/gideros/DateNiteJar/DateNiteJar/DateNiteJar/libgideros.a, missing required architecture arm64 in file /Users/velobuff/Documents/Sites/gideros/DateNiteJar/DateNiteJar/DateNiteJar/libgideros.a"

Thanks!

@velobuff wait a little uploading new build with which everything should work

velobuff

@ar2sawseen Thanks! Do you ever sleep!? Great book by the way. I will be posting a review on Amazon when I finally get my first app up on the iTunes App Store!

ar2rsawseen

Unfortunately yes, I do sleep

And unfortunately seems can't make a build today, still can't figure out one issue.

But will try tomorrow

velobuff

I downloaded Gideros 2015.2 and was able to build and submit to App Store for prerelease review. I'll let you know what happens.

ar2rsawseen

@velobuff I actually did the same, but it would work for the game in protrait, there might be rotation bug on game for landscape in that version

velobuff

@ar2sawseen My app is portrait only for now (until I learn how to position on rotate events)

velobuff

@ar2sawseen FYI I submitted my portrait-only app via iTunesConnect to be reviewed for Testflight Testing and it was approved for Testing after being built using:

-Gideros 2015.2 .dmg
-Xcode 6.11
-OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

After I put in ads then I'll resubmit for actual sale.
