MDK App not working on iOS device with OS 14

[chetanm3582_46]

I have created MDK offline app using SAP Business Application Studio and using NativeScript plugin (i.e. Geolocation). I have created Custom MDK client to build the .ipa file for iOS device using the link.

The build was successfully, but when I have tested the MDK app on iOS device with OS 14, it is not working and giving me message as "Unable to install <app name>". The same app is working fine on OS device 12.4.8 and 13.5.

I have used latest Mobile development kit client (Version : 4.3.2) and which includes required Xcode version as >= 11.5 && <= 11.6.x. [Attached screenshot of MDK Dependencies Installer]. After analyzing, I found that above Xcode version only support up to iOS 13.6.

Please help.

MDK 4.3.4 supporting XCode 12 has been released, you can download it from SAP Software Center .

You can absolutely use XCode 11.x to build an MDK app that will run on iOS 14. In the XCode environment however, you will not be able to connect your iOS 14 device and debug or create an iOS 14 based simulator. Please take note of James' comment above about the crash issue on certain devices and apply the note.

We are currently working on a patch for MDK 4.3 that will upgrade the XCode support to 12 which will address the debug/simulator issues.

Hello,

Have you tried implementing the solution in SAP Note: 2970982 - MDK app crash on launch on certain iOS 14 devices.

In short you need to update the NativeScript iOS runtime version to 6.5.2 in your generated project folder. Then you can follow the steps to run the build again. (this will have to be done after every time you run the create-client.command)
