Compile iOS app

Disciple

I'm trying to publish my game for iOS. I don't know anything about Xcode. I opened the exported project from Gideros and clicked on Build and Run and it said that it couldn't find "iphoneos". I googled the problem and I found I had to change the Base SDK (in the info of the project) to the latest Mac OS X (10.6).

I did so and when building I get 2 errors. It Says "UIKit/UIKit.h: No such file or directory". I googled it and the answers other people give don't solve the problem. I can't even find what they're talking about, I think it's because of the Xcode version, as those answers are a bit dated. Does anyone know how to solve this?

By the way, I uninstalled Xcode and installed it again as it was one of the solutions but the problem kept just the same.

Thanks in advance.

Firstly, what version of Xcode are you using? You must use Xcode 5 or later and prepare apps for iOS 7 in order to submit to the App Store.

The Xcode version is 5.1.1 (this shows up in the info on the Xcode application in the Applications folder in the Mac, I guess that's it). I think it has to do with the Base SDK, as it said there wasn't an "iphoneos" SDK, but all I find in the options (screenshot attached) is Mac OS SDK's and none for iOS.

I found by googling that someone had the project set to Mac OS instead of iOS and I think that might be the problem, I just don't how to switch it. Or it could be something else.

Not sure if it's relevant but I just opened the exported Gideros project by double clicking on the main file. I don't know if I should've imported it or such in some other way?

Finally got around the issue. The problem was that, despite the fact that I deleted (as far as I know) the old Xcode, when I opened the project from the Finder it was opened with the old program. I started a new project from scratch following a tutorial and noticed it was a totally different interphase. So I opened the project from the new program itself and thank God it worked.

Thanks for the reply @johnn26

You're welcome. Sorry I didn't actually help!

Is it all working now? Have you tried running in the emulator? Created an IPA package yet? You may find some more issues turn up when you try to do these things... Just post them here if so.

I've run the emulator, not created an .ipa package yet. I will post it here then, thanks!!

Just as you said I found some issues when creating the .ipa package. I need to send the file to another device, but it's displaying 93 errors and 27 warnings. I ran it in my device and it worked fine. I looked up for a solution like the one in the link but I don't know if any answer matches this issue. The errors say "Apple Mach-O Linker Error".

If you or someone can shed a light on it it'd be a ton of help!
