iOS Question Local Mac Builder

[iCAB]

Hi All

I am having some issues configuring a Local Mac Builder
1. I downloaded Xcode 9
2. Downloaded the builder
3. I am able to compile and run few small sample projects

I need to be able to compile an app that uses Google maps & Firebase

I downloaded the google maps SDK (ver 2.5), from the link below,
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/start#getting_the_google_maps_sdk_for_ios
unziped and copied the files to the Lib folder. I wasn't sure about steps 6-8 so I ignored them.

I have done the same for the Firebase SDK
I am attaching a screenshot that shows the downloaded folders/files in the Lib folder



I am also attaching the compiler errors for when I compile Google Maps Example code

Can some one please clarify what the issue is.

Thank you
iCAB

Hi Erel

Thanks for your reply.
Ok there is some progress now. I am able to compile my app on my local builder (sometimes).
However I am still facing 2 issues:
1. The app is extremely slow in debug mode (close to impossible to work with)
2. Unable to to compile release app

I attached the error as a zip file as it is too large to attach

Thank you for all your support

 

[Erel]

Please start with the hosted builder. It is easier. Are you able to compile?

If the app is slow in debug mode than:

1. Clean the project (Ctrl + P)
2. Remove all breakpoints.

1. No luck at all with either builder
2. Clean project & Remove breakpoint, doesn't help in my case, the debug app is very very slow ( i am debugging the code with B4A instead and using B4I for extreme cases only)
3. B4I stops working as well after few hours or so (this is the third time it happens to me in the last week), you click the icon, the app flashes and goes away. I find myself having to re-install it all the time

Lets focus on the very first problem. What happens when you compile your app with the hosted builder?

I get the error as in the 3rd Post.
I can attach the results on more time if you like

 

[Erel]

These logs come from a local builder not the hosted builder.

 

[iCAB]

Please see attached, just generated with the host builder

 

[Erel]

Can you send me the project to [email protected] ?

 

[iCAB]

sure, give me a moment I am zipping up the files

 

[Erel]

I was able to compile your app locally. However based on the error message you are hitting an internal timeout (after two minutes). I will send you an updated builder (4.52) that increases this timeout to 4 minutes.

You can improve the debugging performance and also the compilation time by compiling some of the modules to a library. This way they will not be compiled again each time and the code will run fast in debug mode.

 

[iCAB]

Thanks Erel, I 'll give it a try and let you know.

 

[iCAB]

Erel, thank you very very much, the new builder fixed the issue for me.

Exceptional support.

You and B4X tools are the best thing that happened to software development tools.

Thanks again and again

 

[Erel]

Thank you.

BTW, I'm sure that you will enjoy the new features in the upcoming B4A and B4i versions. They will make it much simpler to share modules between projects.

 

[iCAB]

Yes, that would be fantastic.

Looking forward to explore the new features.
