Description

Xcode 9 includes the preview of the new build system, written entirely in Swift. In can be enabled in the project-settings or - what's more relevant for us - using the xcodebuild flag -UseNewBuildSystem=YES. We could introduce a new "use-new-build-system" property so users can try it out, input welcome!

    Ok, so I have a prototype working locally that works the same as we handle autolayout/app-thinning/jscore/main-thread. If set, we inject the build-parameter into the arguments of xcodebuild, e.g. [here](https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/iphone/cli/commands/_build.js#L6496). 
       if (this.useNewBuildSystem && appc.version.gte(this.xcodeEnv.version, '9.0')) {
     args.push('UseNewBuildSystem=YES');
   }
    Together with some validation and docs around it, this should be a small ticket. And as it's optional, it should not block 6.3.0, so moving it to 7.0.0.

    Since you have a prototype... assigning.
  3. Eric Merriman 2017-11-01

    Due to the schedule for 7.0.0 versus the remaining work, moving to 7.1.0
  4. Eric Merriman 2018-02-08

    [~hknoechel] Yes, meant to make it 7.1.0. Do you even want it for 7.1.0? We can move it or create tickets in CLI to support.
  5. Hans Knöchel 2018-02-13

    [~cbarber] What do you think? I'd propose a <use-new-build-system /> property in the <ios/> tag that, if enabled, just appends the new UseNewBuildSystem=YES flag to xcodebuild.
  6. Chris Barber 2018-02-15

    [~hknoechel] I prefer a property over a CLI option. I wish we had something like a <property> that was _not_ baked into the app. I proposed a new <setting> tag, but it never gained traction. There's still hope. Until then, I'm cool with a <use-new-build-system> tag under the <ios> section.

    titanium_mobile/master: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/10181 node-titanium-sdk/master: https://github.com/appcelerator/node-titanium-sdk/pull/40 * Using the new build system by default on Xcode 10+ (recommended by Apple) * Using the old build system by default on Xcode < 10 (legacy, for backwards compatibility) * If <use-new-build-system> is set in the <ios> section of the tiapp.xml, prioritize that one Tested with all 6 possible configurations and works fine. Also includes a fix to even be able to use the new build system on Xcode 10, which was caused by Apple require'ing the -scheme flag to be set when using xcodebuild clean.

    Reopening to investigate one possible remaining issue: The incremental build may be broken by this: 
       [INFO]  Forcing rebuild: use-new-build-system flag changed since last build
   [INFO]    Was: undefined
   [INFO]    Now: false

    cherry-picked the commits to 7_4_X...
  11. Eric Wieber 2018-08-28

    Verified fixed. Able to build using new and legacy systems and correctly with the new tag. Changes verified in SDK builds 7.4.0.v20180828081144 & 7.5.0.v20180828085558

    i see this bug closed, but i still having this error in all my apps. I dont know if i must report it here.
  13. Chris Barber 2018-09-18

    [~jcsomac] What specific error are you seeing? Can you please verify that your app is using the latest Titanium SDK 7.4.0.GA and that you are building using iOS SDK 12.0. Paste the error into a comment. If the output is big, then please use a gist or pastebin.
  14. Juan Carlos Salinas Ojeda 2018-09-18

    @Chris Barber Here you have https://pastebin.com/embed_iframe/GGd3cBEC Thanks fot the help
  15. Hans Knöchel 2018-09-19

    There was a deprecated library used in Ti.Barcode causing this crash. We are pushing an update today morning!
  16. Juan Carlos Salinas Ojeda 2018-09-19

    Hi hans, thanks for the help. This app is not using any library ( just ti.cloud ) and the problem persist. https://pastebin.com/embed_iframe/g44nVPLs Again, thanks for the help.
  17. Juan Carlos Salinas Ojeda 2018-09-19

    I just testing again with no library with the same result.... i really dont know whats going on, thanks in advance.
  18. Hans Knöchel 2018-09-19

    [~jcsomac] You are using an outdated version (7.1.0) in your app, not 7.4.0. See the details in your log: 
        Titanium SDK
      SDK Version                 = 7.1.0.GA
      SDK Path                    = /Users/salinasj/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/7.1.0.GA
      Target Platform             = iphone
    Make sure to update your tiapp.xml key <version> to 7.4.0.GA as well .
  19. Juan Carlos Salinas Ojeda 2018-09-19

    So, from now on... i can't use a diferent versin of the SDK ? it must be 7.4.0+ ?
  20. Hans Knöchel 2018-09-19

    If you target Xcode 10 - yes. Because it includes the tooling support for it, but also improvements to handle iOS 12 best possible.
  21. Juan Carlos Salinas Ojeda 2018-09-19

    I understand.... thanks, i just downloaded the new Ti.Barcode and works fine. Thanks again.
