Hello!
With older version of openfl and xcode(maybe that the problem) I could run the following command:
lime update application.xml ios
and had XCode run automatically and open my project.
Now it doesn’t work.
What am I doing wrong?
I kept getting reports that people were using the update command, expecting the template to be generated, but not to open Xcode. This is how all other targets work, so I decided (in a recent release) to use a target flag to open Xcode instead. I mentioned in this in the change log, but I understand how this could go overlooked – sorry for the trouble 
Try: lime build ios -xcode
Ah I see, thank you!
