What can I do to help with getting Kodi to support building on Xcode 6.4 and iOS 8.4?
2015-07-06, 23:30
No change required. I have successfully compiled latest master with Xcode 6.4 and iOS SDK 8.4. I've committed a change which mentiones this xcode/sdk constellation in the README.ios

What normally has to be done when there are changes required due to a new iOS or Xcode release?

Rumor has it that Memphiz goes up to a mountain and offers up a virgin user, to please the xcode gods.

What needs to be done is normally not predictable. Something like this for example. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6925/commits
And of course what NedScott said
Beside that - given the vague questions you are asking me (and stealing my time by making me think that xcode6.4 compilation is broken) - someone is already working on xcode7 support - would be a waste to double his work (its not me btw...).

More specifically - how do you go about knowing what needs to be fixed? Do you look at the terminal log errors, something in the new Xcode or iOS structure? I want to contribute as much as I can for the iOS platform and enjoy overcoming challenges.

yes i watch the errors during compilation - on bigger xcode and sdk version jumps i need to adapt tools/depends/configure.ac to allow the version numbers. If something does not compile it can be fixed in farious places - depends on what the error is. Hard to explain it with the time i have right now. It might be easy or get quiet complex. For xcode7 its a bit more on the complex side as it seems. But as its not released yet i don't care. And as said some other volunteer is working on that already (but doesn't want to publish his current workstate yet).
