Mark,
I am trying to release my apps on iOS and I have to test it on different devices.
I am using Monkey2-v1.1.09
When I use my own device, iPhone 7 Plus the app is launched and work on the device fine.
If I try using the apple simulator I get get this error “missing required architecture x86_64 in libmx2_main.a”
123ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/aroldocarvalho/Documents/_Monkey2/DeviceResolution/resolutiontest.products/iOS/libmx2_main.a, missing required architecture x86_64 in file /Users/aroldocarvalho/Documents/_Monkey2/DeviceResolution/resolutiontest.products/iOS/libmx2_main.a (2 slices)ld: entry point (_main) undefined. for architecture x86_64clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)If I run my the same project in Monkey1 it works fine with both device and simulator.
I have to say it has been a challenge to get it working because I can’t find the information easy and I depend on the community to help answer my questions. Do you have any examples for iOS and Android?
The ios simulator is not currently supported – you need to build directly to a device.
I can add simulator support but it will require rebuilding all modules etc as it will effectively require a whole new target.
That sounds like a PITA but simulator support is great for testing on devices you don’t own.
Ok, simple simulator support added to develop branch.
It’s implemented as a sort of psuedo target so you’ll need to set MX2_IOS_SIMULATOR=1 in bin/env_macos.txt and rebuild modules – a bit clunky but it works.
Mark.
Thanks you, this helps a lot. I will test it.
One thing that is missing from the simulator builds is fiber support.
This wont be easy to do either as there is no appropriate x86_64 asm file in the fcontext lib I pinched.
But I gather not many people are using fibers so this is OK for now?
Fibers do look tasty! and I will be using them when I port my MonkeyX project over, but I think for most they wont be need right now in the simulator and you have bigger fish to fry! Are Fibers supported in wasm yet?
