So , i downloaded T2D_iPhone_Beta_1_0 and wanted to see how easily i can get it to build. I decided to make a step by step approach of the steps i have taken, in order to achieve a working build - both on device and in the simulator.

Update : SDK 3.0 / GCC 4.2 build info!

The following information had been made known to me thanks to Tim from maxgaming.
Building For iPhoneOS 2.0, 2.1, 2.2.1, 2.x: ONLY SUPPORTS GCC 4.0! NOT 4.2
Building for iPhoneOS 3.x + : Supports Gcc 4.2, excludes all 2.x users from your game.


First up (section A) - System Specs :

Platform : 2007 iMac
OSX Version : 10.5.7
XCode Version : 3.1.4
iPhone SDK : 3.1.2 sdk for leopard
iTGB Version : T2D_iPhone_Beta_1_0 (aka iTGB 1.3 beta)
Devices tested on : iPod Touch 1st Gen/2x iPod Touch 2nd Gen / Simulator ( 2.2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.1.2 )

Second - Build Configuration :

Open Torque2D.xcodeproj :


Check that the settings are what i am hoping for :



Check the compiler version :



Check the SDK im using :




The results (the image shows the iTGB Optimized one, i tested both targets the same way) :





Testing on Device :

I got 1 error on build for device :





So i go and rectify this by setting my proper provisioning profiles accordingly :
I first set the app identifier inside the properties (info.plist file) of the target :





I then set the properties of the code signing authority on the Build tab :





I will test snow leopard soon, and report back with the same workflow.

The purpose of this thread :

For those who have succeeded
If you have had SUCCESS building and using iTGB, please post "section A" above, with your system specs.
Note : Has anyone on Snow leopard succeeded so far?

For those who have not
if you have NOT had success building the games, please also post "section A" with your own system specs, and if you have not - try the above (it might seem obvious but settings in xcode get applied the minute you change them). And, if possible make sure you have the latest versions of the software for iphone development (though, still never had problems with previous versions of the SDK's, the tools are YARDS better in 3.1.2).

Goals

Please do not spam this thread with negativity and useless complaints. Do that in another thread and lets keep this one for good reference :) iPhone development is a challenge on many aspects, and the tools are only starting to get better recently (XCode, and aspects of using the SDK were horrific at first). The goal is to pinpoint the problems in a sea of possible errors that have to do with the environment you are building on, the setup you have created and the tools you use. If we can make a nice list of "watch out for's" we will be a lot better of in the very near future.

With my current setup i have had no issues working with iTGB overall (excluding the issues with code bugs etc), and if we can find where the problems are creeping in the problems can be eliminated by being documented thoroughly and extensively.
