Build failed for Mac using latest XCode 12.3

cocos2d-x C++
#12

Yes, that also i did. But i changed to 10.11, dont know its side effects.

#13

@smitpatel88 were you able to generate cocos precompiled libs for arm64 (zlib, png, jpeg, etc)? otherwise compilation will fail for all valid archs which is the default for Release.

#14

@kmaker I had not tried to make release build yet. Are you talking about Mac only?

#15

I dont think Cocos team is concern about their old users anymore.
You guys are just concentrating on Creator, this is really bad.

We haven’t forgotten about any users. I know the team is neck deep in work combining 2D and 3D, new platform support and working to combine the engines. This work will benefit Cocos2d-x and Creator users. While I don’t know every single detail I do know they are working hard and lots of extra hours.

Does this help: Apple M1 xcode build fails - #15 by zhangxm

#18

@smitpatel88 Yes, Release compilation on Mac with Xcode 12.3.
@slackmoehrle I think that’s a solution for Creator. What we need here are all cocos2d c++ precompiled libs with the new arm64 architecture for macOS (regardless the cocos2d c++ version).
Even though there are workarounds (e.g., use an older Xcode or disable arm64 arch), keep in mind that they won’t work if you have a mac with M1 chip.

#19

It’s not a solution for creator. It’s a PR for cocos2d-x.

#20

@slackmoehrle Unfortunately that PR does not help.
Just in case the issue I’m seeing is not clear: on mac version of prebuilt cocos2d-x 3rd party libraries (the ones generated with GitHub - cocos2d/cocos2d-x-3rd-party-libs-src: Dependencies of cocos2d-x., like cocos2d/external/png/prebuilt/mac/libpng.a) the architecture arm64 is missing. You can tell this by running the command “lipo -info path-to-lib”.

I downloaded that code and played a little bit with it. I was able to generate zlib for arm64 but have problems with some of the others.

#21

Now we have 4 old projects and we are developing 1 project with the cocos2d-x CPP , so I am worried about we are abandoned :anguished: :anguished: :anguished:

You mean a merge between cocos2d-x v4 and cocos2d-x-lite (the one used by Creator on native deployments)? I’m 100% on board if that’s the case!

#23

True. That’s the plan.

Is there a roadmap or a release date in sight?

Not yet. Once Creator v3 is out we will have a better plan.

#26

Hello @slackmoehrle ,
Creator v3 is now out. Do you have a roadmap you could share? Will it be a v3.18?
We have a few projects that depend fully on cocos so the information would be extremely welcome.
Best regards,

#27

We don’t have any plans to release v3.18 at this time. Make sure you are using the latest from GitHub to stay up to date on fixes.

#28

@smitpatel88 @slackmoehrle were you able to find a fix? I don’t have the option to downgrade.

Hi @bilalmirza
This is what i do for Mac

  1. Goto /Project/cocos2d/cocos/audio/mac/CDAudioManager.m Comment line no 408 & 409
//        AVAudioSession* session = [AVAudioSession sharedInstance];
//        session.delegate = self;
  1. Add this line below it at line no 410
[[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive:YES error:nil];
  1. In same file CDAudioManager.m comment line no 328 & 329
 //    UInt32 varSize = sizeof(isPlaying);
//    AudioSessionGetProperty (kAudioSessionProperty_OtherAudioIsPlaying, &varSize, &isPlaying);
  1. Add this line below it at line no 330
isPlaying = [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] isOtherAudioPlaying];
  1. In same file CDAudioManager.m goto line no 485 in isDeviceMuted
    replace below code
 -(BOOL) isDeviceMuted {

	#if TARGET_IPHONE_SIMULATOR
	    //Calling audio route stuff on the simulator causes problems
	    return NO;
	#else
	    return NO;
	#endif
	}
  1. Goto /Project/cocos2d/cocos/audio/mac/CDXMacOSXSupport.h
    Comment line no from 43 to 46
	 //enum AudioSessionProperties {
	//	kAudioSessionProperty_OtherAudioIsPlaying,
	//	kAudioSessionProperty_AudioRoute
	//};

  1. /Project/cocos2d/external/bullet/include/bullet/LinearMath/btVector3.h
    replace below line at 42
    Old line :
    #define BT_SHUFFLE(x,y,z,w) ((w)<<6 | (z)<<4 | (y)<<2 | (x))
    with new one:
    #define BT_SHUFFLE(x, y, z, w) (((w) << 6 | (z) << 4 | (y) << 2 | (x)) & 0xff)

  2. macOS Deployment target increase to 10.11
    For main project as well as for libcocos2dMac

  3. If required do clean project and run

I hope this help you.

Cocos2dx 4.0 vs 3.17.2

@smitpatel88 Thanks, This works great! :smiley:

#31

Thanks @smitpatel88, I’m going to give this a try. I can now build and run the Mac version in xcode 11, but if this works, it would be great to run in xcode 12.4.

I have a dumb question. I’ve been using the same project for several years, just updating the code, and I just noticed on the right side that I have “Project Format” set to “Xcode 3.2-compatible” and I see there are much later options. Do you know anything about that option and whether it matters?

I’d probably be smart to create a new project in January and pull my C++ code into it, but I’m not even sure how to start that, to be honest.

Thanks again!
