Appcelerator studio via mac os: Invalid "--device-id"

Question

I've got an error when I tried run application in Appcelerator on Mac.

Before I installed XCode 9.2+iOS 11.2

Appcelerator successfully found xcode and available lists of simulators:

Result of execution:

[ERROR] :  Invalid "--device-id" value "15E7FD44-6368-43A3-BB93-075D4145B652"
Available iOS Simulators:
For help, run: titanium.js help build

Also command "info -t IOS" gives contradictory result about the empty list of the available iOS Simulator.

$ appc ti info -t iOS

iOS Simulators None <--------this line is seemed strange

Problem not just in simulator - I've tried to connect a real device, but problem the same.

• Axway Appcelerator Studio 5.0.0.201712081732
• Titanium SDK 7.0.2
• iOS 11.2 (also tried 11.3, 11.0)
• XCode 9.2 (also tried 9.3 from AppStore)

Any idea?

Answer 1

I've solved problem after:

1. Using advice of @Rene Pot (thnx a lot):

   sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/

2. Updating macOS and Appcelerator module (CLI, TiSDK, and other Plugins) till last version. I guess it was incompatibility of the concrete versions. Compatible version:

   • macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
   • XCode 9.3
   • iOS SDK 11.3
   • Appcelerator 5.0.0.20181208 with updates of May 4, 2018

I'm not sure which of 2 steps have really helped, but it works!

Answer 2

You have to run xcode once manually and accept the certificate and also it downloads and install some components. Only open Xcode and if it asks to accept certificate, then accept it and it will ask for components, accept that also. I hope it will help you.
