iOS Question Hosted builder can not compile?

[Nerdworld]

I'm currently trying to compile an app that we started developing four years ago (and haven't worked on since then) - there seem to be some changes to settings and IDE.
When i try to compile on Hosted builder, i only get an empty log:

We are using B4i v8.90 with Hosted Builder (username and checkbox are set correctly).
I'm kind of clueless due to the lack of error messages...

Make a test. Create a new project. Set the package name and try to compile it. Does it work?

I tried that, but same result for completly new and empty projects.

What happens when you try to build B4i-Bridge?

Can you post a screenshot of Tools - Configure Paths?

Is this a wrong Java SDK Version? I'm pretty sure i'm compiling our B4A app with it, but can't remember configuring it for B4i.

Should be ver. 19.0.2 C:\jdk-19.0.2\bin\javac.exe

You should also configure the paths for the "Additional Libraries" and "Shared Modules".
Are you using an "Ad-Hoc" or an "App Store Connect" distribution profile? You should use "Ad-Hoc" for development and testing and "app store connect" when you are ready to upload to the App Store for publishing.

We are currently not using any additional and/or shared modules and the config seems to be optional.
I will check the distribution profile but atm neither of them is working.

The error message is different now. Can you switch the IDE to English and post it again.

The issue with the blank compilation window is fixed for the next update.

Should be ver. 19.0.2 C:\jdk-19.0.2\bin\javac.exe

Is there a particual reason, why i should install a version from 2022 instead of the latest JDK v25?

Edit: i justed switched to latest JDK v25 - the compilation window is still empty (regardless of IDE language).

 

[Erel]

Yes. JDK 19.0.1 is the correct version. You can find it here: https://jdk.java.net/archive/
It will not work with JDK 25.

I'm now using the correct JDK version, but the compilation window is still empty.
Do you already have an ETA for the next update or a workaround maybe?

Have you selected the correct ip address under Tools - Device IP Address?

Have you selected the correct ip address under Tools - Device IP Address?

As mentioned before: we are using the Hosted Builder.
But regardless of what i'm setting up, the window is always empty.

 

[Erel]

I'm asking about the device ip address.

 

[Nerdworld]

I'm asking about the device ip address.

I don't own an iOS device, so I usually deployed the app on my co-workers devices via Testflight.
Isn't that the whole point of the Hosted building? Or am i missing something?

 

[Erel]

You will not be able to develop without a real iOS device.

 

[Nerdworld]

You will not be able to develop without a real iOS device.

So it's not possible to compile a source without an iOS device connected on a Hosted Builder?
I've developed the app already (with an iOS device from our company) but don't have one at my Homeoffice.

 

[Erel]

It is possible to compile. You can insert a "random" ip address. Compilation should work.
