Hi All,

An issue was reported regarding Csound for iOS and developing with
XCode 4.5.  The issue was that XCode 4.5 added support for armv7s (cpu
architecture used for iPhone 5) and dropped support for armv6 (used on
iPhone 3G, and iPod touch 2nd generation). I have recompiled
libsndfile.a and libcsound.a for armv7/armv7s/i386 (the architectures
used for devices and simulator) and have uploaded it to:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound5/iOS/

The file is named csound-iOS-5.18.02-armv7s.zip.  The target iOS
version has also been updated to 5.0.  Moving forward, I will be doing
binary releases supporting armv7/armv7s/i386.  If you need support for
older hardware/iOS versions, you can use the existing
csound-iOS-5.18.02.zip binary release, or can check out the source
code from GIT and recompile using an older XCode. On the whole though,
I imagine moving forward should be fine for most, as devices from 3gs
and up and all iPads are supported.

Note: the libsndfile-iOS.zip currently on SourceForge should be set
already to compile for current architectures (armv7/armv7s).

Thanks!
steven

Thanks Steven. It seems that Apple often change things without any
consideration for the millions of developers that use their system!
That's pretty annoying!

You couldn't make it up! Glad to hear it's running again, but what a
pain. In my case it's not too bad because the developers of the
libraries I use look after all that updating so I don't have to.
Thankfully.

Yeah, every iPhone/iPad owner seems to eagerly await new iOS releases,
with all the new bells and whistles, and every developer dreads what
it's going to do for apps. :)

I think to be fair, Apple does release some beta iOS stuff through
their developer program for testing, and if they want to move to new
hardware port sizes, then the problem with existing devices is just
going to happen.  On the other hand, they seem to leave developers and
users in the dust more than their fair share.  They could certainly do
more for backwards compatibility, IMO.  (Like, iOS 6 really should
work to run iOS 5 built apps at the least. And it shouldn't be
considered a fault on the developer's part, I think.)

Hopefully all of that works out quickly though for csGrain!  I'm sure
that the email complaints are there only because it's a valuable app
to people and they really miss making music with it. :)
