Mobile: No options to select target simulator

[ellierider]

Not sure if this is a bug of if I missed a step. Installed a fresh Laravel app, and then added NativePHP Mobile to it. I'm able to run the web app in my browser, and am signed into Xcode and have Simulators downloaded.

I've followed all of the steps on this page:
https://nativephp.com/docs/mobile/1/getting-started/installation

But when I run php artisan native:run, this is the output:

❯ php artisan native:run
Building NativePHP app…

  Copying app icon...

 App icon copied

 ┌ Select a target device/simulator ────────────────────────────┐
 │                                                              │
 └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

As you can see, there are no choices.

Could I have missed something?

Hey 👋

Did you start typing into the "Select a target device/simulator" field?

It should then begin to help you auto-complete a selection. Try typing "iPhone" to start. This should bring up devices for iPhone.

[ellierider]

Yeah I see a whole bunch:

See that identifier? Ending 864A? Go ahead and copy that.

What happens if you try running

php artisan native:run IDENTIFIER

Where IDENTIFIER is the one showed in your screenshot above?

Ah ok! Thank you! That pointed me to this error:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

I double-checked that with:

❯ xcode-select -p
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

and then ran this to reset the default command line tools path:

❯ xcode-select -r

yielding:

❯ xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

So good news is, it started to build. Bad news is it bombed out. I think due to "too many levels of symbolic links" in the rsync step. Want me to open a ticket?

Thanks for the update. Are you currently in our Discord? We do have a Support ticket open there with this. It's been indicated this is due for fix and release some time this week. :)

[ellierider]

Ok great! I'll join the Discord, too! Thank you!
