I am about to embark on a development journey and am really in two worlds about how to develop it.
I don’t know whether to do it as a standalone app or a web app. It will be a part of a much bigger project and involve much communication between the elements. for this reason I’ve been thinking a web app, so I thought I would quickly check out some of the examples, but none of them are working. I get an error when I run any of them:
Linking Executable
ld: framework not found foundation
I note that Xojo Cloud is what is selected as the build target and I won’t be using that, I want to develop something self hosted. Is the web app side of things restricted to Xojo Cloud?
I’ve tried this on Mac OSX.
I am still running the unlicensed version (mostly because I just haven’t committed to whether I want just desktop or the whole package. I thought I’d be able to test web apps like I could test desktop within the debug/unlicensed system.
I am prepared to buy the desktop licenses, and can do so if that is a requirement to evaluate the web app side, but thought I would just ask.
I fully expected they would just work out of the gate (especially given the Web Tutorial — Xojo documentation tutorial didn’t mention anywhere licenses were required.
I also followed the quick tutorial Web QuickStart — Xojo documentation and it also has the same error. I followed the tutorial to the letter 
So I’ve determined it’s something with the OSX implementation. I just tried it on my linux box and I was able to create the Youtube player example.
So anyone have any ideas why it wouldn’t be working in/on OSX?
Which version of Xojo and which version of macOS? You should be able to run everything in the debugger. Right now isn’t a good time to start a new web project.
Yeah, I kinda do suspect that, I know things are changing pretty big time by the sounds of it, but I thought I’d just give a proof of concept idea a bit of a go. But struggled getting out of the gate
Xojo 2019 r3.1 and 10.14.6
No. Technically you can put your apps wherever, but there are limitations depending on provider/hosting plan. For best results, youll want to use a virtual private server.
That said, if youve never managed a server yourself, we do everything in Xojo Cloud. Backups, security and system maintenance. All you need to do is deploy.

You shouldnt get this if youre running on macOS, so Id suggest a reboot to see if its just time 
If you are not running on macOS, this can be caused by a macOS declare thats not protected behind
#if TargetMacOS
For the life of me I cant think of any web examples that would contain such a declare though.
Hello Beatrix Beatrix Willius
When you mention: “Right now isn’t a good time to start a new web project.”
I would like to know your opinion about this issue.

Its well known that a new version of Xojo with a whole new Web framework is being tested right now
