This has worked for me. 1) Never upgrade or install Xcode from the app store. 2) Download from developer site. 3) NEVER put xcode.app in the Applications folder. 4) I made a new folder with all the Xcode versions I need. Rename every download with a version number suffix. 5) Open up downloaded versions after rename. This will finish the installation. 6) Now for the magic at command prompt: This will show what tools LC will use for building==> xcode-select --print-path This will set the tools that LC will use for building==> sudo xcpde-slect -switch "path to xcode.app version to build with"
You will see if the version of Xcode is supported on your version of Mac OS when doing step 5 above. In setting On the "mobile support" pane of prefs you can add several version of Xcode to support older simulators and sdks I have Xcode 8.2.1, 9.2, 10.1 and 11.3.1 on my Mojave Mac.

Landman Gay Subject: XCode command line tools 12 I'm still debating what to do about XCode on a Mojave machine. Couple of questions: 1. LC says to use 12.1 but the latest command line tools are 12.5. Is 12.1 specifically required or is a newer version okay? 12.1 was a GM seed but was quickly updated to 12.2. 2. The main question: I've downloaded the tools manually and I could run the package installer to install them. What would happen if I install the 12.x tools on a Mojave machine? Could I rename the old folder, install the new tools, and if it breaks, put the old folder back? Does anyone know if this will work, or do I need to make the plunge and see what happens? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ 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
