iOS Question Compile to Library by Local MAC Build Server

[Steve Kwok]

I have just moved from B4A to B4i and try to convert B4A library to B4i library...
I have local MAC Build Server which function well (I.e. Build B4i-Bridge App, Build Release App and Build Simulator Release App are successful).
However, the local Build Server failed to Compile To Library.

At the MAC Build Server's Terminal:

The error message shown:

It seems to be the plist's format problem. Can Anyone help to solve it?

Consider creating a b4xlib library. It will allow you to use the same library for both B4A and B4i.

Can you upload the project?

Hi Erel,
my codes for making B4i library is uploaded as projCustomCollection.zip.
This library is proposed to log something in text files.

Compiles fine here. Tested with Xcode 11.

Make it a b4xlib. It is very simple and it will work better.
You just need to create a zip file with the class and optionally add a manifest file.

[new feature] b4xlib - a new type of library

As B4X matures, more and more reusable components are written in B4X directly. In most cases it is simpler to implement the logic in B4X directly and the code can be cross platform. Especially with the relatively new XUI library. Standard libraries will never be cross platform as they are...
