Custom MDK Client build fails

[istvanherman]

Hello,

I try to create a custom MDK client as it is described in Build Your Mobile Development Kit Client Using MDK SDK | SAP Tutorials

Environment setup theoretically okay - even if dependency installer says it is not exactly. However I always get error message "Error: Failed to add iOS platform to project" when I run the create-client command but I couldn't figure out what could be the problem.

MDK version 24.4

@Jitendra_Kansal: Could you support? I didn't find similar post in community.

Thank you for any support!

• Check installed python version via python --version. If you see the result, execute link command and add python path to PATH env variable (click on the i icon for Python in the MDK dependency installer)
• I would also suggest updating the required NS version to make sure all the needed dependencies are fulfilled before creating client.
• Noticed that you are using sudo command for create-client. Do not use sudo command, just use ./create-client.command.

I would also say that we do not currently support NativeScript 8.7.0. For Nativescript especially you should use the version specified in the Dependency Installer. In this case downgrade to 8.6.5

Hi,

I could finally build. The key was that I have moved the downloaded MDK client to my Documents directory and therefore for some reason it was not a wise move. When I moved it back to my Downloads directory, now it's working fine.
I think it is quite interesting.

BTW: I had to downgrade also NativeScript to the proper version.

Thank you for the support!
