I have fixed the 8861 for NS 6.8.0 by

Select the project or target -> Build Settings -> Excluded Architecture (if you can't see it make sure [All] properties are selected) and set the Excluded Architecture for 'Any iOS simulator SDK' -> 'arm64'.

as described here 656509.

@bmacdonald We have published @nativescript/localize 5.0.1 now which contains the hooks fix mentioned regarding CFBundleDisplayName and CFBundleName. That is the {N} 7 compat version. Let us know if you need a backported fix to the hooks in nativescript-localize 4.x if planning on staying on 6.5.x for awhile (we will need to coordinate a patch with @EddyVerbruggen if needed there).

@bmacdonald here's the fix for the 4.x series: EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-localize#100

Hello, I'm having a weird issue now on iOS.

I have xCode 12, and i just updated nativescript using npm i -g nativescript@rc

But my code is still for 6.x.x.

Its working perfectly on simulator and I can run my app on 12.4 and 14.0 iOS. but when I send my app to Appcenter and download it on a real device running iOS 14, I'm gettin this weird error and can't even open the app.

"App Name" Needs to be updated
This app needs to be updated by the developer to work on this version of iOS.

Has anyone else seen this issue? I'm completely stumped on it.

@JCFowler I tried the NS 7 cli rc on my NS 6.5-project and it builds, but it can't deploy to App Store / Testflight, stating

(that is with and without the ARCH-changes in build.xcconfig from #8861)

Reverting back to using 6.8.0 of the CLI, the build succeeds and deploys correctly to Testflight.
My app-name is set by the nativescript-localize plugin - just make sure to use version 4.2.2 (just published).

@timdoege
Thanks, I Just downgraded back to 6.8.0, and tried to build it, but i'm getting a build failed for simulators. (Both 12.4 and 14.0)

Error is: Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65

Are you able to build on simulators?

But luckily on real devices, I am able to build and run! So Thank you so much!!

@JCFowler

Error is: Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65

Can you re-run the build command with --log trace and see the full error log? That'd probably help pinpoint the issue - could be related to certs or anything really.

@edgardksb same here - re-run with --log trace and see if there's something more in the logs! For ios 14, you will need to use at least tns-ios@6.5.2 earlier versions will crash.

@timdoege Hmm, that's an odd one - could be related to the rc change, I'll have to test a release build. We may need to opt-out of this clause in release mode. In dev mode, this worked fine with an arm64 device (iPhone 6s) and x86_64 simulators (both ios14 and 13). (the current simulators are all x86_64).

The symlink for the .app file is wrong in Debug-iphoneos:

~/example$ ls -ld platforms/ios/build/Debug-iphoneos/example.app
lrwxr-xr-x  1 ianmacdonald  staff  208 Sep 18 12:05 platforms/ios/build/Debug-iphoneos/example.app -> /Users/ianmacdonald/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/example-dutelroqwocqiafapaasnonxiehi/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/example/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/example.app

tl;dr, instead of Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/example/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications, it should be Products/Debug-iphoneos.

@NathanWalker updated my project to 7.0.10 & tns-ios to 6.5.3..still i'm getting that linkage error -1 & Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65.. :( : (

@RibuRoyson we would suggest emailing support@nativescript.org with system details like node, npm and a sample of your package.json - the quickest help would be to send details on how to access project and we’d be happy to help.

if you have a custom CFBundleName the cli will fail with No .ipa found in /.../platforms/ios/build/Debug-iphoneos directory.. [Looking into a fix]

@NathanWalker It looks like this is not yet fixed (Cli version 7.0.10, tns-ios 6.5.3). Are you still investigating this issue?

Updated my node to 12.18.4 performed npm i g natievscript & ns clean..still the xcode error occurs..
The following build commands failed:
CompileSwiftSources normal x86_64 com.apple.xcode.tools.swift.compiler
CompileSwift normal x86_64 /Users/Ribu/Desktop/iMuthootNew/iMuthoot/platforms/ios/Pods/Cosmos/Cosmos/CosmosAccessibility.swift
CompileSwift normal x86_64 /Users/Ribu/Desktop/iMuthootNew/iMuthoot/platforms/ios/Pods/Cosmos/Cosmos/StarLayer.swift
(3 failures)

@ngrie Right, that's something we haven't fixed yet - but you should be able to change the CFBundleName to ${PRODUCT_NAME} to get going in the meantime.

@RibuRoyson share the project if able, we can't fix something we can't reproduce ourselves!

Thank you to everyone's input and reports here. We have published final cli and ios runtimes with the fixes:

1. npm i -g nativescript (This will install latest 7.0.10 cli) - can always confirm with ns -v to see what you have installed
2. Update ios runtime in devDependencies if using {N} 7 or in the nativescript key in your `package.json if using {N} 6

If you're using tns-ios (the JavaScript Core) runtime you'll want to update your project to use:

• 6.5.3

If you're using @nativescript/ios (the new v8) runtime you'll want to update your project to use:

• 7.0.1

1. ns clean

We published a brief blog post about this: https://nativescript.org/blog/xcode-12-tsc-love-story/

Further reports can be reported separately.

@NathanWalker I was having this error and this solution has worked correctly for me.
Thank you very much

I just followed the steps to upgrade and managed to make my app work again on simulators/devices...
i did a
tns publish ios

and it uploaded correctly but during review i got an email saying

ITMS-90512: Invalid sdk value - The value provided for the sdk portion of LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS in mypackagename.app/Frameworks/NativeScript.framework/NativeScript is 14.2 which is greater than the maximum allowed value of 14.0.

ITMS-90512: Invalid sdk value - The value provided for the sdk portion of LC_VERSION_MIN_IPHONEOS in mypackagename.app/Frameworks/TKLiveSync.framework/TKLiveSync is 14.2 which is greater than the maximum allowed value of 14.0.

any ideas what this means? and how to fix this?

@eltharynd what runtime is that? @nativescript/ios or tns-ios?

@rigor789
"@nativescript/ios": "7.0.1",

Is my understanding correct that the problem is that the libraries NativeScript and TKLiveSync are prebuilt and have been built with a beta sdk that can't go on the app store yet?
So are you planning to rebuild them with the release version of xcode and update nativescript?
or is there a way to fix this earlier?

I found a tmp workaround in #8937

Hello All,
I have recently updated my NS app to the latest version and xcode to version 12 And now i can not open the app on my device/simulator.. both on xcode and "ns run ios" , app installed on the device but app does not open. From log i only got CONSOLE INFO: HMR: Hot Module Replacement Enabled. Waiting for signal.
NativeScript discarding uncaught JS exception!

And from xcode

Runtime initialization took 120ms

Does anyone have any idea? I have this problem since last week and don't know what went wrong :(

@SaifulZiko first of all try running
tns clean
And then running again
tns run ios
.. old version files might still be there.. the crashes you describe stopped entirely for me with 7.0.1

And maybe share your tns info

@eltharynd thanks for your response ... after "tns clean" whenever I try to run "ns run ios" I get this warning regarding cocopods

@NathanWalker I was facing this issue - NativeScript/nativescript-cli/issues/4846 with latest CLI. Even though I run with --no-hmr it still didn't work but passing --release helped. Still this becomes a pain when we actively make changes on application as the CLI will no longer watch for changes. Any suggestions?

Any news on the problems? Currently we are blocked in the daily work (nativescript/cli 7.0.10) tns-ios: 6.5.3?

The only way to work is manually remove the excluded_architecture opening the project with xCode

@limux82 I'm not sure about the 6.x version but this issue has been fixed on the 7.x latest release #8937

You might wanna migrate to that if possible
https://nativescript.org/blog/nativescript-7-announcement/
The migration tool worked great for me, after that i only had to adapt my imports and it worked

Thanks I'm working on migrate to ns7, but it's not so simple when you have a big application with a lot of plugin with problem to migrate. I think that a framework has to be retro compatible in the build process, to avoid migration to other frameworks

@limux82

• If you are using XCode 12; with @nativescript/core 6.5.x or later you want to use NS CLI 7.0.10 or later.
• If you are using XCode 11; with tns-core-modules 6.5.x or later you want to use NS CLI 6.8.0

NS 7 requires XCode 12; Xcode 11 works with NS 6's cli...

HI
@NathanaelA
@NathanWalker
@eltharynd

It's what we have done XCode 11, tns-core-modules 6.5.3 and CLI 6.8.0
But I continued to have this error:

warning: Mapping architecture armv7 to i386. Ensure that this target's Architectures and Valid Architectures build settings are configured correctly for the iOS Simulator platform. (in target '' from project '')warning: Mapping architecture armv7s to i386.

(in target '' from project '')
** BUILD FAILED **
Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65

The only way to resolve the problem with the simulator was to add In App_resources ios

1. In build.xconfig EXCLUDED_ARCHS_x86_64 = "";
2. add a podfile with this
   post_install do |installer|
   installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |configuration|
   installer.pods_project.build_settings(configuration.name)['EXCLUDED_ARCHS'] = []
   end
   end

I have also a branch with the configuration with Xcode 11, @nativescript/core 7.0.x and @nativescript/ios7.0.2-rc and the last CLI 7.0.10 and I have the same problem. In android, skipping 2-3 plugins that are not updated to 7 it runs, instead in ios same problem. Now I will install xCode 12 to see if works with NS7. But After that can I continue to work with NS6 (we are not ready to migrate to 7 with master branch)?

In my opinion this issue should be reopen?

We're still experiencing NativeScript/nativescript-cli#5411 with the latest @nativescript/ios@7.0.2-rc.1 and CLI 7.0.10.

@NathanaelA

• If you are using XCode 11; with tns-core-modules 6.5.x or later you want to use NS CLI 6.8.0

It seems like the tns-ios@6.5.3 is creating a XCode build config that has this new EXCLUDED_ARCHS strategy intended for XCode 12, while this is not working for XCode 11.

Previous builds with tns-ios@6.2.0 using CLI 6.7.8 (in our case we are now trying to update to 6.5.3 because of the invalid access pointer fix NativeScript/ios-runtime#1275) do not have any occurance of EXCLUDED_ARCHS in the platform directory - so are they supposed work for XCode 11?

I still have this issue with the version of 7.0.12. Is anyone still facing this ?? My build is failing.

I can't upgrade to ns7 due to plugin issues.
I can't use ns7 with my ns6 project - it doesn't work
I tried down grading command line tools and xcode to 11.7 - It didn't work
