How to build cocos2dx for iOS simulator with latest Xcode?

Currently CI builds for iOS are red/failed
V3:

V4:

@slackmoehrle could you help?

Kind regards,

I’ll need to ask @zhangxm

#3

@R101 maybe you can help?

#4

I haven’t tried to build Cocos2d-x v4 for iOS (although I do use a fork of v4 that works with iOS). The only thing I can see in my root project CMakeLists.txt file that may help is this:

set_target_properties(${APP_NAME} PROPERTIES
    XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] x86_64
    XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_VALID_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*] x86_64
)

Check this file out to see if there are any settings that are missing from Cocos2d-x v4: ios.mini.cmake

#5

@R101 thank you for your answer. It fails on CompileStoryboard.
Any ideas on how to fix it?

Below command line and error:

No idea about that error, but as I mentioned in my previous post, the iOS builds work in that Cocos2d-x fork I linked, so perhaps comparing the two may shed some light on the issue.

#7

@slackmoehrle any progress? Did you have a chance to ask engineer team?

#8

I will check on the status, I know the team has been really busy with upcoming releases.

#9

I think this is not fit to the current topic, but I want to know about this problem because I really need to implement this asap.

I am gonna make a simple game in React Native and want to use Cocos2d-x for animations and some logic.
In a word, is there any way to use Cocos2d-x in React Native?

Hope to help me.
Thanks.
