Hi!
I’m running this command on a project sample
haxelib run openfl run ios -simulator
the project builds successfully, iphone simulator with ios 26.3.1 opens up, but I can’t run the app, it says
“App Name” needs to be updated. This app needs to be updated by the developer to work on this version of iOS
any workaround?
Thanks in advance for help!
Did you run the build command before the run command?
haxelib run openfl build ios -simulator
The run command assumes that the project has already been built.
There is also a test command that builds then runs the project in a single step. That may be what you were looking for instead.
haxelib run openfl test ios -simulator
That being said, I believe that our iOS simulator builds may still be Intel only. I suspect that’s why it might say that the app needs to be updated. For a long time, Xcode shipped only Intel iOS simulators, even on ARM64 Macs, and it must have run through Rosetta. I don’t think anyone on the Lime team has gotten around to updating the process to target the newer ARM64 iOS simulator yet.
You nailed it. I tried running it on my device and it works, won’t need simulator for now. Thanks for help!
