IOS build does not work - tried both Xcode 7 and 6.4

[Wen Cai]

Hi,

I m trying to test the Kivy example app to IOS following this example: http://kivy.org/docs/guide/packaging-ios-compile.html.

I get this error in Xcode:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-F/Users/tingbochen/kivy-ios/dist/frameworks'

ld: warning: could not create compact unwind for _ffi_call_unix64: does not use RBP or RSP based frame

I have tried both Xcode 7 and Xcode 6.4. I'm using 6.4 right now and also the pulling from: https://github.com/kivy/kivy-ios/pull/165 did not seem to work for me.

You could try and delete the build and dist directories in your kivy-ios directory. That worked for me. 

You will still get the '-F/Users/tingbochen/kivy-ios/dist/frameworks' warning. To quench that, you need to go to build settings and delete '/Users/tingbochen/kivy-ios/dist/frameworks' under Frameworks (use the search bar to find it).

Thanks for the reply Casper, I gave it a try and it seems to gives:

ld: warning: could not create compact unwind for .LFB3: non-standard register 5 being saved in prolog

ld: warning: could not create compact unwind for _ffi_call_unix64: does not use RBP or RSP based frame

Still doesn't seem to want to build the app. Any ideas?

After a lot of tinkering, I got it to build. 

I posted a guide to the build detailing some of the stumbling blocks I found here:
