@zhongfq I did your tutorial and get another error
This one is on a real device:

and this one is on a simulator:

Note: I did change the "Build Active Architecture Only" to "No"

Not only that I see a lot of deprecated functions. Should we think to remove all of them??? The almost iOS device now is running iOS > 12. Should we think to stop support iOS < 12??????

@neonguyen you should set some Xcode property in project CMakeLists.txt:
set_xcode_property(${APP_NAME} SKIP_INSTALL "NO")
set_xcode_property(${APP_NAME} INSTALL_PATH "$(LOCAL_APPS_DIR)")

[zhongfq]

@neonguyen in CocosConfigDepend.cmake for iOS:

Locate system libraries on iOS

find_library(UIKIT_LIBRARY UIKit)
find_library(OPENGLES_LIBRARY OpenGLES)
find_library(CORE_MOTION_LIBRARY CoreMotion)
find_library(AVKIT_LIBRARY AVKit)
find_library(CORE_MEDIA_LIBRARY CoreMedia)
find_library(CORE_TEXT_LIBRARY CoreText)
find_library(SECURITY_LIBRARY Security)
find_library(CORE_GRAPHICS_LIBRARY CoreGraphics)
find_library(AV_FOUNDATION_LIBRARY AVFoundation)
find_library(WEBKIT_LIBRARY WebKit)
find_library(ICONV_LIBRARY iconv)

@zhongfq I did set all those things. but It still did not work.
My environments:
Macbook pro 15" 2019
Cocos2dx: 4.0 (change from 3.x by pull request)
XCode version 12.2
MacOS: big sur
CMake: 3.18.6

@neonguyen my env as same as you too, you can try my fork: https://github.com/zhongfq/cocos-lua, and then you can compare what different, especially the cocos folder

[neonguyen]

@zhongfq one more thing, I am using python 3.7..6. Can it affect the cocos project? and I am using C++

[zhongfq]

@neonguyen no. my project base on c++, i use command 'cocos new -l cpp' create my project. i think there are miss some Xcode property in your project. Your program i had meet before

[neonguyen]

Thanks for your time.
let me check your fork and feedback later.

@zhongfq I tried again a few times. Unfortunately, It still did not work. My V4 version is upgraded from V3. I worry it can be the reason. I cannot reinstall my Mac now.

@zhongfq I found the solution to solve the build problem. Now I can run the project on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I cannot run it on the simulator. Can you run it on the simulator?
