Using 17R4 with Xcode 10.2
Due to Apple Swift language abi instability, you cannot use the standard 4D 17R4 with Xcode 10.2.
Fortunately, we provide an alternative component compatible with Xcode 10.2.
You can replace the internal user component 4D Mobile App.4dbase, that you can find into ../4D.app/Contents/Resources/Internal User Components/, by the provided one:
Hardware requirements
- 8GB of RAM (Minimum recommended).
Configuration
- In the 4D Database Settings, display the Compatibility page and check Use object notation to access object properties (Unicode required).
- Your HTTP and HTTPS ports must be well-configured. HTTPS is mandatory for 4D for iOS deployment.
- Your Web Server must be started. It is available from the Run menu:
