iOS Simulator device failed to open love file.

Post by ddabrahim »

Hi all!

I follow the instructions on the wiki to see if I can get Love running on iOS.

I have built and installed the Love app on an iOS Simulator and the wiki says in order to run a Love project, I simply need to drag and drop the .love file on to the Simulator window. However, when I do that I get an error "Simulator device failed to load file ..../project.love"

The project file is located on my Desktop and the Simulator and Xcode has permission to access my Desktop.

I have tried both ways when love is running in the simulator and when it is closed. No luck.

Would anyone have any idea what could be the problem or any other ways to run a love project inside an iOS Simulator?

in Xcode I don't get any error message.

Thank you.

Nevermind, I did find a solution after.

Right click the .love file => Share => Simulator => Grant permission to Simulator to access => Send

After the .love file automatically appear in the Love App installed on the Simulator.

It is the steps that worked for me with macOS 14.5 and iOS 17.5
