This release is important if you are trying to build apps for iOS. You can now build LiveCode apps for iOS 6.1, using Xcode 4.6. Armv7 device builds are now produced using the iOS 6.1 SDK and testing with the 6.1 simulators is now possible.
For Lion & Mountain Lion users to produce Armv7 device builds, you must have the iOS 6.1 SDK installed, which comes with Xcode 4.6. For Armv6 builds, the iOS 5.1 SDK is needed, which comes with Xcode 4.4. Naturally, to produce universal builds, both Xcode 4.4 and 4.6 are needed.
For Snow Leopard users, all device builds are produced using the iOS 5.1 SDK (the latest version available for Snow Leopard) which comes with Xcode 4.2.
LiveCode 5.5.4 supports the 4.3, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0 and 6.1 simulators. To use LiveCode with a given simulator version, point LiveCode to the version of Xcode the simulator comes with using the “Mobile Support” section of the LiveCode preferences. Extra simulators can be installed through the “Downloads” pane of Xcode’s preferences.
