You could rent a mac in the cloud (from MacInCloud) to do your builds on. First and probably the cheapest, is that Corona should be able to run on your older MPB for testing in the simulator, until Apple forces out the EOL for OpenGL. So yes, your MBP 2010 edition may not be able to run the latest xCode. You cannot do it from Windows.Īpple forces new versions of iOS/Xcode on developers and generally they only support 1-2 major versions back. You have to have a Mac to build for iOS even with Corona.
#Xcode catalina android#
And just to confirm, while there is a Corona for Windows, is it able to produce running iOS apps, or just Android apps? (I do have a newer PC available.) Thanks for any clarity/help you can give me. The big question for me is am I basically screwed until/unless I shift to a newer machine? Even though Corona has much lower requirements, if I want to build iOS apps, I’m literally going to need to be running Catalina, and have the latest XCode installed, aren’t I?

(Local iOS SDK is 12.1 and I guess this version of Corona wants to build a 13.3 iOS app?) When I go to Build for iOS, I’ve got an UNSUPPORTED iOS SDK mismatch right now.
#Xcode catalina update#
Could *maybe* update a little further with some work, but I don’t know if that is going to help me in the long run. If I bought and installed a new Metal-compatible graphics card, I could update to Mojave (10.14), but I still couldn’t update to Catalina (10.15), and it seems like the newest version of Xcode requires Catalina… right? I’ve updated to High Sierra 10.13.6, and it looks like that may be as high as I can go right now. What I can’t seem to do is app development. Still, I can run Adobe suite without problems and get stuff done. Especially for Metal graphics cards and the like. Decent machine in it’s day, but a little long in the tooth now. I am also curious what the absolute requirements are for doing development for iOS apps? I initially turned to Corona because it seemed like it might have less stringent requirements for development, but now that I’ve got the basics and was ready to test on an actual device, I think my machine configuration may be too ancient.
