Summary

Currently i'm having issues following the guide under the local directory in steam: (Open RPG maker MV > Help > contents > Documentation > Converting to an iOS App ) The process works up until section 4-1-2 and running the cmd "cordova emulate ios", after running the terminal returns "Info.plist file not found". After a quick google search it appears its a common issue with Apache Cordova and Xcode 10: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/407. I run the amended cmd based in the github post "cordova emulate ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'", it appears to have worked....

Currently i'm having issues following the guide under the local directory in steam:

The process works up until section 4-1-2 and running the cmd "cordova emulate ios", after running the terminal returns "Info.plist file not found". After a quick google search it appears its a common issue with Apache Cordova and Xcode 10: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/407. I run the amended cmd based in the github post "cordova emulate ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'", it appears to have worked.

I follow the guide up to "4-1-6 Build", I run build the cmd and re-run "cordova emulate ios --buildFlag='-UseModernBuildSystem=0'", the iOS simulator window opens and loads, the menu music we set for the game starts playing, however no UI or anything, just a standard iOS simulator window with the default iOS apps.


Has anyone managed to successful managed to emulate the app under the current versions? I would like to ensure the application works before investing into a Apple developers account.

Many thanks
