Can't Run iOS Project - Missing Simulator?

GarryPettet · March 17, 2021, 12:45pm

I thought I’d mess around with an iOS project in Xojo (having never used Xojo for iOS before). I have an up-to-date Pro license.

If I create a brand new iOS project, I can’t run or build it. Both buttons are greyed out on the main toolbar. I have installed (and launched) Xcode, currently version 12.4 (12D4E). I am running macOS 11.2.3 on an M1 MacBook Pro.

There are no simulators listed in the “iOS debugging” section of the Xojo IDE to choose from. If I load Xcode I can see that I have many simulators installed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this?

This is with Xojo 2020 R2.1

Try opening (you need: ) XCode it may request to install additional tools.

Yep opened it and doesn’t prompt anything. I’ve also installed the Xcode command tools as I use homebrew and other things that depend on it.

You opened devices and simulators window?
There you can “+” add simulators.

Things to try:

In XCode preferences → Locations → Command Line Tools: [Xocde 12.4] make sure you selected the correct version (12.4 is my current version).
Hover your mouse over the run button in the toolbar (check tooltip)
Restart xojo ide
Restart your mac
In XCode Preferences → Accounts → login (then down load profiles also)

Thank you @DerkJ, that was the issue. It was blank for some reason.
