Re: [OT] Multiple macOS recommendation sought

That involves quite a capital outlay, and as long as you can justify that in terms of business and remuneration, super. I am not so set up, either business wise or in any other way. What I DO know is that the "Mac world" post MacOS 9 seems to fracture along several lines: PPC (probably not w

Hi Paul, Several years ago - 6-8-10 years ago? Not sure when - I left VMs behind in favor of minimally-configured actual hardware. I have a couple of Windows laptops but almost never use them now. My main development world consists of 4 Mac minis of various ages (all Intel or M1) and a couple

ios app: "Error opening database: cannot set file protection"

Well, this is a new message that I can't seem to find a reference to: I have an app that I've been working on for months. I did the first build of it that I've done in a bit, and got that message: Error opening database: cannot set file protection After hitting "OK", the app quits. -- On the firs

Re: Problems with simulator

A clue perhaps. I thought I would try something different. I took the app bundle (the one LC builds) and dropped it on the simulator. I don’t know if that should work or not, since I never tried it before. It installed the app, and launched it. But it gave this error… “Organize” needs to be upda

[OT] Multiple macOS recommendation sought

A problem I have struggled with for decades is software testing on the various versions of operating systems our software deploys on. For testing on Windows, we use Virtualbox with Virtual Machines (VMs) for Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 (we have yet to try to build a Windows 11 VM)

Re: Problems with simulator

Thanks Ralph. But usually in that situation LC saves, then does a build and then tries to hand that off to the simulator that times out because it is still loading. I’ve been loading the simulator manually for quite some time now and using it without issue (not with the current setup software ve

Hi Mark, I used to have a problem with the simulator timing out when it was trying to load my stack. I think I gave up on using the simulator, and went with testing everything on my target device. Good luck! Rick > On Oct 26, 2021, at 11:54 AM, Mark Smith via use-livecode > wrote: > > I

Hello Henry, You can have as many Xcode versions installed as you want. I suggest you create a folder "Xcodes" and put everything in it, after you have renamed them appropriately (e.g. rename your current Xcode to Xcode_12_5_0.app). LiveCode uses the iOS 14.5 SDKs and some of Xcode's command line
