iOS Question Error building Simulator Release (Out: Command line invocation)

[mcqueccu]

I am working on a very basic B4XPages application, and Debug and release mode using Adhoc provision works fine.
When i use a simulator release I get the error below. I switched between primary and secondary hosted builder but same error

Further interrogations revealed it from the Lottie Library.

I just noticed in post #6 that "The lottie framework doesn't support ios simulator."

Has anyone successfully uploaded an app to App store and got it approved using iLottie library? I just got rejected because my application was crushing on their testing device.

I have an approved app which uses a custom propietary Lottie wrapper, not iLottie. The exported methods were limited to the ones I needed at that moment.

I just got rejected because my application was crushing on their testing device.

Does the crash report point towards the library crashing? Or you need it in order to simulate a specific device?

Just in case, remember to test your app in airplane mode. This is one of the first tests they perform, in order to check for crashes. Of course it isn't expected to work correctly, but it should not crash.

 

[mcqueccu]

If you have an alternative. I will love to have it. I just need Play and stop to work.

I usually grab all my screenshot with appetize.io so without the simulator build, I have to manually edit and resize screenshot from my iphone 5s.

Yes, the app was tested in airplane mode. I have not studied the crash report yet. I will do that in few hours and let you know if the crash is from the iLottie.

 

[JordiCP]

Oh, I was thinking that you needed the simulator in order to reproduce the bug. If I understand correctly now, you are talking about 2 different things: on one side Apple rejected your build (which can be due to several causes), and on the orher side you want to use the simulator to take screenshots, is it right?

I'll check this evening if the framework I'm using is valid for the simulator, I never use it. If so, you'll need a local builder in order to work with it.

 

[mcqueccu]

I use hosted builder with small iphone 5s. The simulator build helps in 2 ways
1.To Screenshots for other device sizes
2. To Test application on newer iOS Versions for compatibility.

The primary issue here is, I am not able to do SIMULATOR BUILD, because of iLOTTIE

 

[mcqueccu]

@JordiCP do you have a local builder to help me trace the crash?

Edit: I removed the Lottie, and build the simulator release, used the appetize.io to capture the screenshots and manually inserted the lottie images in the final screenshots.

Thank you for your help
