iOS 17 support

[scooterman]

So I upgraded my mac to sonoma, which updated my xcode to 15/iOS 17, which is not compatible with robovm at the moment. Do we have plans to update the stack? In the meanwhile, what is the advised way to work with robovm? I'm not sure if I can just install xcode 14.

hi,
what exactly doesn't work ?

• application created with robovm does work on iOS 17.
• you can build for ios17 and run on simulator using xcode15 with workaround commented in issue (Getting "compact unwind compressed function offset doesn't fit in 24 bits" while compiling with last robovm #750).
• the only blocker at the moment -- its deployment and start application on iOS17 device as Apple had changed lot thing in communication and it is not supported yet by library we are using (Developer disk images have been removed #755)

latest one (device communication) is in progress, trying to migrate from third party lib to own implementation. this takes time.
crash of Xcode15 -- will wait probably it will be fixed by Apple as it crash and not an error.

Hello dkimitsa,

I'm working on a libgdx game and although I can make it work with the simulator (thanks for your response on my issue!) I couldn't manage to make the text input work properly. I suspect it's something related to the engine and the simulator and tried to run on the device to rule it out but hit the issue #755
I'll investigate the game on the simulator a bit more until then, thanks for your work on robovm!

hi,
probably you should check on ios16 vs ios17 simulator using same setup (e.g. xcode). if it doesn't work on ios17 -- post your code snippet to look through. thx
