Hey.

I just updated xcode, which seemed needed to publish a new app for iOS (iphone 6 issues...)

But now I get this compile error:


Any chance you can fix this, Greg?

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

Of course I plan to add support for iOS 8.0 asap.
Most likely this will take still some time, as I'm working still on the engine optimization.

Are you aware that new XCode versions are required to submit an app there?
So this should be of utmost priority, as we won't be able to submit our apps to the store.

I'd mostly blame apple for all their silly requirements, but at the moment it is outright frustrating to get an app ready for the app store. I am mainly working on Windows and testing on Android, but at the point where i have to submit an app for iOS, this are the steps I need to take:

1. The mac version of esenthel has to be recompiled to disable addmob. If you're not used to work with xCode, this already takes a lot time. (I just discovered i have to compile for profiling to get a release version of the engine...)

2. If I want to sync my code with esenthel server, I have to make sure they have the same version. This often means I also have to rebuild the windows version after I synced the mac version with github.

After that I still have to fake screenshots for the new iPhones, probably add some custom icons and change some obscure settings in the xcode build file. After about 5 failed validations i get an app submitted most of the time. That's to say, if MrPi is wrong and the previous xcode version is still ok.

All in all, it mostly takes me a day to get the app ready for the store.

I know you're busy, Gregg. It's just that a gravitational force is building up from the window, and my mac laptop is slowly pulled in that direction :-)

Haha
Maybe my answer wasn't clear enough, so let me just clarify it again, iOS 8 support is next on my list as soon as I'm done with what I'm working on right now. The optimization is complete, now I need to test it, and fix something else that's unrelated. So it should be available soon.
I'll look into the admob thing after that.

The good news is that I've finished all tasks and can now proceed to iOS 8

Thanks a lot! Much appreciated.

Great stuff.

Great news! I was able to solve the AdMob problem, now it won't be linked with when the app doesn't use any Ads.
Please don't forget to recompile the engine and create new "engine.pak" using the builder too.

I can confirm that iOS works again and can be submitted to the appstore. Thanks again!

One minor flaw: I cannot use the device simulator any more. It's not that important to me (I only use it to get screenshots from the app on different devices, like apple requires) but I thought you'd might want to know.

I get these errors:

Thank you!
I'll investigate this.
