I can't really say when we will add a native ARM64 build for Windows - it will depend largely on demand and need. That being said, we have recently updated how we build the windows engine to use the most recent version of Visual Studio (which has arm64 target compilers) so that is at least a step in the right direction. I know, this is probably way ahead of any practical answer, but I know we WILL have customers asking us if our app (built on LC9.6.11) will run on Windows on ARM on day one. Windows ARM has been available to everyone for a while - albeit not strictly a 'public' thing, virtualization tools like VMware on macOS will download and install the ARM version of windows automatically if you are running on an ARM mac. We have a couple of people internally who have ARM macs, and use VMware to run Windows in ARM and we haven't seen any problems. So I can echo what Mike said - especially since Microsoft added x86-64 support to their Intel emulation layer on Windows ARM (think Rosetta 2) about a year or so ago - both x86 and x86-64 versions of the LiveCode engine run seamlessly on it. Another thing to remember is that Microsoft are not forcing a processor transition unlike Apple have done twice now (in the last two decades) - I fully expect that Windows on ARM will support Intel executables indefinitely, just like x86-64 Windows continues to support x86 executables.

Re: Xcode 15.01 working with LC?
i just did several builds with a similar setup, but my builds are achieving, and installing (using apple configurator). my test ipads are running 17.4.1 and 17.5 beta i have had a problem with one of our test ipads, but i don't know if it's related: mergAV isn't operating properly, but so far, it's only on one test ipad. we'll see if the fleet chokes on it, or not.

RE: Xcode 15.01 working with LC?
I'm using LC 9.6.11 on an M1 Ventura with Xcode 15.0.1 (command line tools point there) I have built 2 of my apps and the both show splash screen then immediately crashes before first card is shown. I'm testing on an iPad mini iOS 12.5.7. When testing in the simulator it starts but the app never gets installed and the standalone builder windows hangs on "Launching app..." LC is unresponsive and a Force Quit is needed. Any ideas?

Re: Xcode 15.01 working with LC?
just tried it, again, and then started digging. on the first attempt, i got the linking error then i fired up xc 15.0.1, and looked at the xcode command-line tools - sure enough, it was set to 14.2. i changed that to 15.0.1, and now the builds link with 9.6.11 and xc 15.0.1 On Mon, Apr 8, 2024 at 2:15 PM Andreas Bergendal via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Just to complicate matters, though: In the Forum, two people have > confirmed successful iOS deployment with Xcode 15.0.1: > https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=38849 > > /Andreas > > > > 6 apr. 2024 kl. 22:35 skrev Mike Kerner via use-livecode < > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > > > i should further note that in lc settings, if you select 15.0.1, you will > > get the green box like all's well, but during the build you will get an > > error, late. > > > > On Sat, Apr 6, 2024 at 4:34 PM Mike Kerner > > wrote: > > > >> it does not work, at least with 9.6.11 > >> here's where you can find all the downloads, including xcode 15 > >> https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=xcode > >> > >> On Sat, Apr 6, 2024 at 4:22 PM Klaus major-k via use-livecode < > >> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > >> > >>> Hi friends, > >>> > >>> I am just setting up a new Mac Mini M2 and could not find > >>> Xcode 15.0 as recommended by LCs release notes, only 15.01 > >>> on the Apple Dev download pages. > >>> > >>> Will that work with LC? > >>> Or does someone have a link to version 15.0? > >>> > >>> Thanks in advance! > >>> > >>> > >>> Best > >>> > >>> Klaus > >>> -- > >>> Klaus Major > >>> https://www.major-k.de > >>> https://www.major-k.de/bass > >>> kl...@major-k.de > >>> > >>> > >>> ___ > >>> use-livecode mailing list > >>> use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > >>> Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > >>> subscription preferences: > >>> http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > >>> > >> > >> > >> -- > >> On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth > >> On the second day, God created the oceans. > >> On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, > >> and did a little diving. > >> And God said, "This is good." > >> > > > > > > -- > > On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth > > On the second day, God created the oceans. > > On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours, > > and did a little diving. > > And God said, "This is good." > > ___ > > use-livecode mailing list > > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > > ___ > use-livecode mailing list > use-livecode@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode > -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans.
