Deploying for iOS - Fine Tuning, Icons and Launch screen
Updated on Mar 31, 2021ArticleThe top panes (1) allow you to add splash screen images. Include PNG images, ideally of your centered app icon on a transparent background. Choose whether or not your app supports dark mode, and if it does then upload appropriate images for Dark Mode launch. For a discussion on what you should use here and why, see this lesson.
The bottom panel (2) is for your app icons. If you hover over the three dots for each selection, it will tell you what size you need. For maximum compatibility, you should add an image for all these options.
The Prerendered Icon checkbox is a legacy setting, you should ignore it.

Install Xcode
Updated on Mar 31, 2021ArticleBefore you can deploy to iOS, you must have Xcode installed on your Mac. LCFM Native will then automatically detect your Xcode installation and use the necessary tools from it to do the compile step for your iOS app. LCFM supports Mojave and Catalina.
If you are running Mac OS Catalina, you will need Xcode 11.5 to use LCFM Native. On Mojave, you need 11.3.
Please note that you cannot deploy for iOS from Windows, you must have a Mac to do this. Apple do not offer an SDK to deploy from Windows.
