I have a Mac OS X Lion(10.7.3). Now I want to install PhoneGap in my XCode. My XCode version is 4.3.2.
I followed the instruction of installation from PhoneGap web site at the time of installation. But when I create one project it shows error as well as www folder also not created at the time of project creation.
According to the PhoneGap web site to install I have to have Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). Is it not possible to install PhoneGap with Lion(10.7.3) or I have to wait until the supported version comes up?
Note: I am new with Xcode, Mac and PhoneGap.
You specify that you are new to the technology, for this, you should follow the tutorial, step by step and read all points before doing anything to your computer so you fully understand what you will do next.
You mention that the www folder is not even created, well, the startup tutorial is extremely explicit (point 3.9) and even has an image with the drop area:
Next step is IMPORTANT! Drag the www folder into Xcode 4. You can't just drag the www folder into your app's folder. It needs to be dragged into Xcode 4!! In my case I would drag it and drop it on HiWorld shown below.
Regarding your mention if it can be installed in Lion, yes you can, startup shows the minimum requirement and it should be read as

I have been building mac app on my mac mini and it always worked well but today i faced this error, searched a lot but no luck.
Message from debugger: unable to attach
What i tried:
Clear derived data
Quit Xcode
Restart machine
installation directory set to blank and also to /Applications
Tried Skip Install No / Yes
Using developer Signing certs
M using only Developer certificates and not provisioning profile to sign my cocoa app
Xcode 8.2
OSX 10.12.1
Please help :)
This is what fixed it for me, perhaps it will help others but I do realize the question was for 8.2. I had it set to Xcode 9 "New Build System" disabling this and switching to "Standard Build System" in the Project Settings under the File Menu. I had tried all the other things like killing DerivedData, clean build, restarting Xcode. I also verified that my dependent libraries were set correctly. The only thing that worked was disabling new "New Build System"
I just had this problem today. I have little demo code in a mac project(created with Xcode 9.4). This error just started to occur after I upgraded system to macOS Mojave 10.14. However, in Xcode 10 this project runs no problem(without changing anything). If you can use Xcode 10 it will probably be fixed.
Unfortunately, the above solutions didn't work for me (although I am sure they work for some people).
Here is what worked for me, in case this helps anyone else:
Close Xcode
Open Xcode and Create a new Xcode project
In the iOS template, select Single View App then click Next
yes, I know you are trying to get a macOS app attaching to the debugger :).
Give the iOS app any product name and organization identifier you would like and click Next
Create the new project anywhere you would like (I saved it to my desktop)
Build and run (cmd + r) the iOS app on a simulator like the iPhone 8 (starting a simulator and running the iOS app will take a little time, so have patients)
After the iOS app runs in the simulator, click to stop it from running (the stop button is next to the run button)
Open your macOS app that you are having trouble connecting a debugger to, and build and run it (cmd + r)
This, for some reason, allowed me to connect to the debugger with my macOS app...
Xcode version: 10.1, macOS Mojave version: 10.14.2
I was rooting around for the answer on StackOverflow to the question above, as I had recently updated to Mac Sierra and by doing so Xcode 7 updated to 8 automatically. I couldn't find the answer to what I wanted, so I decided to share my findings.
Of course I'm not quite ready to invest the time just yet in Swift 3.0 so I wanted to know how to keep two instances of Xcode on my machine for the time being.
Therefore below is how I went about doing this...
Login to Apple Developer Downloads and find Xcode 7.3.1 or equivalent version of what you want to maintain on your machine.
Download the file and double click on it to open the installer
DON'T drag it across to Applications just yet
Instead, open a Finder Window and drag it to Desktop/Downloads, to install it there
Control-click on the Xcode file to "Get Info"
Under Name & Extension, in the text field, change this from Xcode.app to Xcode7.app (or equivalent naming convention)
Drag this renamed file into Applications
Restart Mac
Open Xcode7 (or new & renamed application)
Voila! 2 x instances of Xcode on your Mac (Xcode proper & Xcode7)
I gather you should never open both apps at the same time. However here is a solution that really does help you if you are still currently developing in two apps or environments on different versions of Swift. Hope this helps.
I would like to update to Xcode 8, but when I start the App Store it just shows me an Open button, but my existing Version is 7.3.1
The requirements should be El Capitan 10.11.5 - I have 10.11.6 installed.
Why is there no Update button?
Check if you have multiple installations of Xcode on your system. The App Store often gets confused and loads one you're not considering, such as the version on your back up drive. It's possible it has updated a different installation than the one it launches as well.
Executing the following command in a terminal window should list all installations of Xcode the App Store may find.
mdfind "kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == 'com.apple.dt.Xcode'"
When you have Xcode open (from hitting Open in the store), right click the Xcode icon on your dock, select Options, and Show in Finder. Does the installation it shows match up with the one you expected it to launch?
If you specifically open each Xcode installation the mdfind command found, are any of them Xcode 8?
You can control which installation of Xcode the App Store will update. Check each of the app folders, and look for a Contents/_MASReceipt folder. Ensure the installation you want to update has that (and a receipt file inside that), and delete the _MASReceipt folder for all of the other versions.
Now the App Store app should update the correct installation for you.
All I had to do was restart my mac. Then, went to the App Store and saw "Update" instead of "Open".
Will I be capable of submitting an app with Xcode 7.3.1 while on the macOS 10.12 beta? According to this post, it is possible to run Xcode 7 alongside macOS 10.12.
Yes, you can! But if you're tying to do this, you will find two problems.
no .app file provided in bundle
Build with Xcode 7.3.1 then upload using Xcode 8 [Beta]. This will allow you to upload the archive.
When trying to submit to the store you will be faced with this error message:
New apps and app updates must be built with the public (GM) versions of Xcode 6 or later, OS X, and tvOS SDK. Don't submit apps built with beta software including beta OS X builds.
This is because your archive contain the Sierra's mark! I just solved this problem yesterday.
When you archived your app, find your archive in the Organizer, and then:
"Show in finder";
"Show package contents";
In the "xx.xcarchive" file, find the "Products"-"Applications"-"xx.app"(xx is your app's name), "Show package contents" again;
Finally, you can see there has a file named"Info.plist", open it;
Edit the value with a key named "BuildMachineOSBuild", I just change it to "15F34"(it's "El Capitan 10.11.5" 's version);
After that, you can upload this archive use Xcode or Application Loader, whatever you want!
Decided to try it out myself. Both methods of exporting through Xcode and Application Launcher failed with an error stating there was no .app file provided in bundle. Best to stay away from the macOS 10.12 beta if you want to continue developing for iOS 9.
I'm creating a Cocoa application for 10.6 and newer OSs. I created a brand new document-based application in Xcode 5 (10.9) and changed two settings to make it 10.6-compatible: I changed the deployment target to 10.6 and turned Auto Layout off on both MainMenu.xib and xxDocument.xib, the two default nibs that are included with the document-based template. I archived my application (no code signing) adding no other code and tested it on four different OSs. Here are the results:
OS X 10.9: Launches and shows a new document window ("Your document contents here") as expected.
OS X 10.8: Launches as expected; same as 10.9.
OS X 10.7: Fails to launch; Console applications yields "App Name: Unable to load nib file: MainMenu, exiting".
OSX 10.6: Fails to launch; Console yields same as 10.7.
I'm quite baffled as to the behavior of my application. I added absolutely no code to the template document-based app that Xcode created for me; I just changed the required settings to make it compatible with 10.6 and up. I also tried turning off ARC in the build settings, which made no difference at all. I checked Apple docs and also searched for other questions about the console error I received, but none of them were related to this problem. I was very surprised that 10.7 exhibited this behavior, as 10.7 is compatible with ARC. I would greatly appreciate any advice on how I can fix this problem. I would suspect that there is an easy modification to the default template, as Apple probably wouldn't supply a template that requires extensive modification to merely get it working. Thanks.
UPDATE:
As suggested, I turned off base internationalization in Xcode. I ran the app, and it worked fine. I exported the application (no code signing) and tested on all of the above OSs. This time, the error that I received above occurred for all OSs. This even occurred on the SAME machine that I built the project with, the only difference is that I didn't run it from Xcode. My next step was to actually make a MainMenu.xib file (because removing base internationalization deleted the old one) and set that as the main interface. Now not only do I get the error in the exported application on all OSs, but it shows up in Xcode when I try to run the application! Is there something else that I am missing?
AS mentioned before you need to disable Internationalization Base.
In the Project Navigator Click on the on the first item which is your project (denoted by blue page with white A in it, it is the root of all other items)
You should by default see the Info page to the left (if not select it from the tab at the top)
The last item in the Info property sheet is Localization. Under Localization you will have the ability to add and remove languages and you should by default have two already Base, and English.
Delete both, and deselect the check box "Use Base Internationalization"
Once you have done this, remove the any *.xib files you have from the project itself. MAKE SURE TO ONLY REMOVE REFERENCES !!!DO NOT SEND TO TRASH!!!
Once the references have been removed, go into Finder, Open your project directory and you will find a directory called Base.lproj with your *.xib files located in them. Copy or move them one level up to your project directory, and delete Base.lproj directory.
Go back into xCode and add back in your *.xib files. ++K to clean the project, then ++R to rebuild.
This should move the *.xib files in the App Package from Base.lproj (where 10.6 does not seem to find them) to the Resources file folder, and solve the problem.
Newly created Xcode 5 projects have base internationalization turned on. Base internationalization is supported on OS X 10.8 and later. You'll have to turn off base internationalization to support 10.7 and 10.6. See the following Stack Overflow question for more information:
Base.lproj/MainMenu.xib is not available when compiling for targets before Mac OS X 10.8
Another thing you may need to do to support 10.6 is to set the deployment target to 10.6 for both the project and the xib files. I know you said you set the deployment target to 10.6 in your question, but it wasn't clear if you set it for both the project and the xib files. As you're discovering, Apple's project templates do not place a high priority on compatibility with old OS versions.
