LÖVE

I'm using the latest Xcode and the M1 processor (don't know if that is relevant) with love 11.3

I don't have any knowledge about Xcode.

I want to test if the game is working in the iPad iOS simulator.
What I did was this (I want for now the most easy way, I was hoping that these are the steps)

https://love2d.org/wiki/Game_Distribution
- I download https://github.com/love2d/love/releases ... source.zip
- Open platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj with Xcode.
- Select love-ios target (not love-macosx)
- Select Build Phases of the 'love-ios' target and add your 'game.love' file into Copy Bundle Resources.
- Build the project.
What do I wrong ?

When I remove
line 13
#include <assert.h>

and make line 21 comments
// assert(0);

Then building is a small step 'better'
the error is now:

Going to search google for that error later, maybe I need to clone the love2d repo and use that for building iOS , going to try that later.

iOS build issues with recent Xcode versions should be fixed by using the latest love source from github, yeah.

That gives another error.

The steps are now:
- git clone https://github.com/love2d/love.git
- download https://github.com/love2d/love/releases ... raries.zip and place it into the ios/ folder
- open love.xcodeproj
- press build

Error
entry point (_main) undefined. for architecture x86_64
I did try this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/466 ... 9/56291763
"If you're facing this error while building a framework, then select the Dynamic Library Under the Build Settings > Mach-O Type."
But that give other errors.

I did remove Xcode and reinstall it, maybe I'm missing something else

gcc --version clang++ --version g++ --version
Inside readme-iOS.rtf is a invalid link to https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/downloa ... raries.zip , maybe its better to refactor it to readme-iOS.md

You might need the iOS dependencies from here: https://github.com/slime73/love-apple-dependencies

nope, don't do a thing.

But some people have the same error and I think its about this.

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/17802
I don't have a developer account, just want to test it using the simulator.
Did try some variations , going go check what a provisioning profile is...

Oke I did make some space on the MacBook Air and install Xcode and there it works slow but the iOS simulator was started with the love app.

I can confirm that using the MacBook the above signing & capalilities are the same, so that is not the issue.

I'm now trying all options on the iMac M1 processor, I already did this

I guess it has something to do with the iOS simulator x86_64 and not building correctly for it using a M1 processor.

I forget to mention a important things, and that is that I did see it work once, a few day again.
But then I did a stupid thing by fixing the warning about the signing. So I can see that it is possible to compile and run the simulator, but once you do something wrong, is broke. And uninstalling Xcode and removing the project and caches don't fix it.

It is working !

Not using arm m1 but using rosetta.
Now I'm going to try the game for the first time.

I think my next question will be:
If the app is crashing in the simulator, where can I find the error log ?

Yes working
Damn...

Going to test a hello world later!
