Dashcode in Mavericks

Excuse, where do you find Dashcode. I find it but the system tell me that my Mac air version is not associabile with dashcode version that I find on the website apple developer. Can you how do you get a compatible version of dashcode for Mac air?

Thanks!

Best I can figure a Version for Mavericks hasn't appeared yet.

When I open "Open Developer tool" -> "More Developer Tools..: in Xcode 5.01 the page it points to has only the Mountain Lion version of Dashcode.

Me too. I seem to remember that it took a while for the Dashcode update for Mountain Lion to be released as well.

I use it too. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I use it for iBook widgets. I'll have to make sure I keep one computer at Mountain Lion until an update is available. Tried to submit a bug report. Must try again.

Looks like the bug report submission worrked after all. Now waiting for resolution ;-)

I reverted one of my Macs to Mountain Lion so that I could continue to use Dashcode and a couple of other apps.

I don't usually upgrade immediately. I like to wait until the third party developers get caught up. The reason I upgraded everything at once was to see if Mavericks had gained some of the efficiency that got lost in Lion/Mountain Lion.

I'm gradually geting used to the new features but some of the changes leave me cold. I think the old Dock was a lot better than this new one and I find it difficult to see which apps are "live" on my MBP Retina.

I updated to Mavericks last week and just now decided to quickly do some work on Dashcode only to realize it's not working...

I didn't think this could happen with Apples own apps... 😮

Managed to get it running, let's hope Apple updates the app soon.

Go to your Applications folder, right click (ctrl click) on the Dashcode app, click Show Package Contents and in there go to the MacOS folder. Click the "Dashcode" terminal application in that folder.

Dashcode should now launch... along with a terminal window, you have to wait a bit.

That's it... it should work... you still get the horrible cross sign on the app though. And it might ask for your permission to access you Contacts and everything else.

Note. You can drag this terminal app to the desktop to create an alias directly to it, this way you get a faster way to launch it.

Note2. To close the app, first quit Dashcode, then quit the Terminal app.

PS. Need is a wonderful teacher! I wish they would make this available in the App Store, i would pay for that. It's a niche app, not many people use it, but those who do know its worth.

Also... version 3.0.4 seems much more stable in Mavericks than 3.0.5

You can get that at https://developer.apple.com/downloads/

It's the March 2012 verison.

I opened a bug report with Apple about this and received the following answer:

"Dashcode is no longer under development, and is not supported on OS X Mavericks. You will need to run OS X Mountain Lion in order to continue using Dashcode."

I guess we have to use the (barely functional) workaround to launch the executable directly, re-install ML, or just abandon Dashboard development altogether...

I got the same email from Apple. Disappointing. It wasn't the most stable of software but I've develop a number of iBook and web widgets using it. Hype 2 doesn't seem to allow access to the Javascript canvas. What else is there?

We can probably virtualize Mountain Lion and use it inside that VM.

Parallels ca virtualize Mountain Lion. I'll try it this week and post the results.

That works. After a few fiddles I got a VM in Parallels with Mountain Lion and ran Dashcode. Just like before. Sometime it doesn't save newly opened projects other times it does. This is my test of whether it had started up properly. I was able test run one of my widget. I think it will work. Another work around would be to screen share with another (older) Mac running Mountain Lion. The Parallels solution looks better.

I hope Apple changes and updates Dashcode. Anyone found other suitable software for graphics, canvas, type widgets?

Thank you!
