Has anyone come across an error when trying to build the base Mac template in AppGameKit with Xcode 10 as it seems to have broken the templates.

This is the error:

linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
clang

Been messing with it for a bit but just can't get it working yet and as the base template won't work, all my projects don't either now.

Screen grab

I've reattached your screenshot with a highlighted button, can you press that and select the build that failed, it should have a more detailed description of the error. I haven't upgraded to XCode 10 yet

Yes I didn't want to upgrade but wouldn't let me load anything without doing so unfortunately.

Comes up with this.

Changed the target toL

export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.14

and got rid of a load of warnings, still got the main error though.

Ideas ?

It looks like Apple may have removed the CGDisplayBestModeForParametersAndRefreshRateWithProperty function in 10.14 which is being used by GLFW. The version of GLFW we are using on Mac is quite old now so I'll have to compile a newer version of GLFW and rewrite some of the Mac routines to upgrade from GLFW 2 to 3.

Cheers Paul, you know what sort of turnaround this would be?
Just stuck on development projects.

Sorry, I can't put a timeframe on it, but you could try installing the Mac 10.13 SDK, XCode 10 itself should be fine, the problem is that it upgraded the Mac SDK at the same time. After it is installed you should be able to select the SDK version in the app build settings.

Also I'd change the deployment target back to a lower value, it is normally 10.7 in AppGameKit apps, otherwise only users running the specified version or above will be able to run your app.

Cool, cheers Paul will give it a bash

[EDIT]
Well I have been messing with this and the SDK builds but still no joy, just gives same issue so not sure.

Any other Mac Tier 2 users had this issue and have done a work around until Paul can update as mentioned above?

Same issue here. Figured it was a Mojave/Xcode 10 issue and was just waiting for a fix. Fortunately, I'm not currently using AppGameKit for commercial development, just hobby stuff at the moment.
I have noticed that this is not just an AppGameKit issue, I also tried some other game development tools (Cerberus-X, Monkey 2 and Torque2D to name) and they all seem to be having issues since the new OS and Xcode versions.

Cheers Mark for letting me know. Unfortunately I am stuck as nearly ready to release an app and it's frustrating, can't finish it.
At least I know it's not just me

Paul, we also need this update when you have time, please.

We are working on a major software project, but currently stuck with regard to iOS testing.

Hey Richard,

didn't know you are using AppGameKit
Is it a Repton title? Love that game!

Hi Paul,

I am very impressed with AppGameKit. We have already used it for iOS, Android and PC Windows versions of Galaforce Worlds and Galaforce Reinvasion.

Thank you very much for your kind comment about Repton. We are keeping our current major project confidential for the moment, but I can tell you that it is indeed a Repton title for iOS and Android!

I hope everything goes well with your software; I visited your website, and they look like very interesting titles.

Thanks Richard,

I will check those titles out as always interesting to see what people have done in AGK.
Already looking forward to your Repton title, I am sure it will be awesome like the others Good luck with the development of it!

Sent you a connect on LinkedIn if you want to link up.

Thank you, Paul. I've accepted your LinkedIn invitation, and added your email address to our mailing list as requested.

Some coders asked how we handled the aliens' movements in Galaforce Worlds, thinking that we may have been using using sine / cosine formulae, etc. Rather than making extensive mathematical calculations in the game code, for speed of play the developer Ian Rees wrote an editor to create and save the alien formations and paths as data points.

The Repton project is progressing very well, thanks. It's all looking very good!

Picked up the connect
There are a lot of good projects on your site for me to start looking through, great work.

Downloaded the Galaforce Worlds game on the iPhone earlier and works really well. Good idea with the editor to make the enemy flight paths, I thought it might have been done something like that using data points and maybe by drawing the paths with the mouse and saving the data. Very effective as the enemies are smooth and make for a fast paced game.

The Repton project should be awesome and really looking forward to that!

@Paul J

I have been messing with this now for a while and have tried to do a quick fix but nothing seems to work and so Mac Tier 2 development using Xcode is a no go at the minute. Seems others are also having the same problem with projects on hold.

Fingers crossed this is something you can put forward for a quicker fix at your end with it being a project killer.

Thanks.

This is fixed for the next version

Ah, great news Paul, look forward to the new release.

Thank you for sorting it out, Paul.

Awesome, Paul. Thanks for getting it sorted.
