I am on OSX 12.2, and XCode 13.2.1. I created successfully a Command-line tool app written in C++ and wxwidgets library to add the GUI interface. I inserted the images for the app icon in Images > AppIcon, see the screenshot attached. However, when I run the app there is a 'blank' icon as shown in the second screenshot attached.
How may I get the desired icon to appear ?
Thanks!
Just upgrade my Xcode from 7.2.1 to 7.3. Have no idea why. Do I have choices other than delete Xcode and reinstall again? (which I highly don't like).
BTW, the documentation tab is fine. Just a blank simulators.
Update: If I click "check and isntall now", it reports:
Could not download and install OS X 10.11.4 Documentation. The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net” which could put your confidential information at risk.
I checked cert on https://devimages.apple.com.edgekey.net, seems fine..
In Xcode 7.3 I found the following way to add older simulator versions.
1.) Choose "Window" from the menu bar
2.) Choose "Devices" from the drop down menu list
Result: Devices window opens
3.) Click the "+" icon in the lower left-hand corner of the window.
4.) Choose the Add Simulator option
Result: You can add a simulator (and download older ones).
I installed a few apk files for applications and now the icons won't go away from the Launchpad on my Mac.
Is there a file, database or some other location where these are stored?
This isn't exactly my area of expertise, but Chrome is automatically installing icons for apps any Chrome apps you have installed through it.
First Visit chrome://apps, find the app, right click, then "Remove from Chrome".
Next, if the app icons are still showing up in your launcher, it sounds like you need to open the folder "/Users/[your-user-name]/Applications/Chrome Apps" and delete the icons from there that you no longer want.
If you do not remove the apps from Chrome first, the launch pad icons may get recreated the next time you start the browser.
I ran into this when I tried to deploy my app to the iOS simulator earlier today - the debugger never connected, and the iOS simulator crashed. Now I can't get the simulator to do anything.
When I first launch the simulator I get a black screen (no tiles from the dashboard), and pressing the home button makes it freeze. If I access the menus at the top of the screen in OSX, that works until I press the home button, then it freezes.
Things I've tried:
Creating a new project in Xamarin Studio and running that
Creating a new project in Xcode and running that
Opening up the Xcode package contents and running the simulator .app from there
Clearing the simulator's Content and Settings.
Reinstalling Xcode fresh (5.0.2)
Pressing the home button (or whatever it's called) on the simulator
I created a new profile on OSX and running the simulator from there, and it froze for a good 20 seconds, then all of a sudden I saw the tiles appear for the home page. I then switched back to my original OSX profile, still didn't work.
The problem seems to be something with my profile, but I have no idea what to look at next. Any thoughts?
GOT IT! The problem was a file located in /Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/
the iPhoneSimulator folder was missing - or it looked like it was a link to a missing folder. I deleted it, ran the simulator, and it was fixed.
I'm developing an IOS app that creates files on the device, e.g. with NSKeyedArchiver.
During Android development it's possible to browse a device filesystem when it's connected to your workstation via USB, for instance to help with troubleshooting your app.
However for IOS I don't see anything similar under the Organizer in Xcode, to help me browse files my app creates from the workstation. Googling "iOO browse device files", "iPhone view files" etc. reveals solutions for jailbroken devices but not for regular devices provisioned for development.
How can I browse files on a device created by an iOS app I'm developing?
In Xcode's Organiser, go to your device's Summary tab. Find your application in the list, and click the disclosure triangle. Under it, you should see an icon saying "Application Data". Click the down pointing arrow to download the data, and it'll prompt you for somewhere to save it.
In Xcode 5, listed under your device in Organizer, click on "Applications" and you can see "Data files in Sandbox" in the bottom half of the window.
In Xcode 6, go to Window -> Devices, select the device, select the app name under Installed Apps, click the settings gearbox, then select Download container.... In finder, double finger tap the package and select Show package contents.
In Xcode 6, open the Devices window:
Then, select the app (in Installed Apps) and then click the gear icon and select Download Container.
Pls note, that you can view contents of downloaded .xcappdata container by right click on it and select "Show Package Contents"
iExplorer works like a charm! Just used it to export some app files! http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/download-ie3-mac.php
In Xcode9: / Window / Devices and Simulators
Select the desired installed app, click the gear at the bottom and Download container...
In Finder, "right-click" the downloaded file and Show Package Contents to open it in a new Finder window.
I hope it's useful. Peace.
XCode version : 10.2.1
goto window -> Devices and Simulators
and after that choose your device from the left list, choose the app from the installed app, so you can press show container for show app's contains on the new page on xcode, press download container to download it to your OSX, also you can replace an old container to the moment state with Replace container...
