Issues Building for iOS in XCode

eburn

Hi All,

Since updating to the iOS 11 SDK I am receiving the following error when building my project in XCode:

Call to unavailable function 'system': not available on iOS

It looks like the latest iOS SDK got rid of this 'system' function.

I am using the following libraries:

flixel 4.3.0
hxcpp 3.4.64
lime 2.9.1
openfl 3.6.1

I originally built the project with the following command:
lime test -ios -Dsource-header=0

Prior to upgrading to iOS 11 my game was building just fine. The game still runs on my phone, however I can no longer generate a new build, as this error is hindering progress.

I actually modified the Sys.cpp file to read as follows on line 264:

#if defined(HX_WINRT) || defined(EMSCRIPTEN) || defined(EPPC) || defined(APPLETV) || defined(HX_APPLEWATCH) || defined(IPHONE)

The defined(IPHONE) was not in the original if statement.

This did the trick, and it looks like the latest version of hxcpp (not yet released) fixes the issue as well.
