I was trying to get back into coding today, and encountered a super weird error when opening Xcode, which says
"Required content for Platform Android is missing"
"Please reinstall Xcode"
I did some digging, and realized that this must be an error coming from some third party software. I used to use Spritebuilder, and I recall a while back I was trying to install the "SBAndroid-Community" package, to publish to Android devices.
I then found this page on the Apple Developer Forums, which basically describes my problem perfectly
https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/47245
The solution is to "remove a folder associated with Spritebuilder ~Library/SBAndroid"
However I see no such folder. I've looked within the contents of Xcode, Spritebuilder, and across my entire mac to no avail.
It seems there is some framework embedded in Xcode that is causing it to fail, and reinstalling doesn't help.
Does anybody have any ideas on where to go next? I really have exhausted my knowledge on this subject, and I really just want to open Xcode and have a fresh start.
Thanks!
EDIT: I did not know "~" was an alias for your home folder. I have now located the ~/Library folder, but there is not an /SBAndroid folder within it. Still have no idea what to do =(.
Edit 2: I found the /SBAndroid folder in the ~/Library folder located in my Macintosh HD directory! After deleting, Xcode now opens.
I figured it out! (Thanks in big part to Ali Beadle)
First off, I didn't know that ~/Library folder was hidden by default. Eventually I found that folder, but still could not find the /SBAndroid folder.
Finally, I did a spotlight search which included system files (easy to find out how to do this online). Sure enough, I saw the /SBAndroid folder!.
It turns out, though, that the /SBAndroid folder was located in the ~/Library folder of my Macintosh HD (not my user folder).
After deleting, my Xcode app now opens.
So happy to have figured this out, thanks =).
