The Elements compiler requires a Mac with the latest Xcode to be installed for Cocoa development.
- Download Xcode: Mac App Store
Once Xcode is installed, and you have connected to your Mac, EBuild will handle the rest.
Working with Multiple Xcode Versions
If it Linux OS, care must be taken while download Cydia Impactor for particular 32-Bit or 64-Bit. USB drivers must be installed in the case of Android device. The process may generate provision.cpp.150 error, so it is recommended to have the latest iOS version too. Download Xcode like described in 'Packaging the SDK on macOS' Install clang, make, libssl-devel, lzma-devel and libxml2-devel; Run./tools/gensdkpackagepbzx.sh xcode.xip; Copy or move the SDK into the tarballs/ directory; Packing the SDK on Linux - Method 2 (works up to Xcode 7.3): Download Xcode like described in 'Packaging the SDK on. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform - Linux, macOS, and Windows. Download Visual Studio Code to experience a redefined code editor, optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Download PuTTY on Linux and Installation Guide PuTTY, the open-source and free to download software, provides an easy way to access a Unix shell environment from a windows system. Unlike Unix, Windows don’t have any SSH server or client pre-installed.
If you have multiple versions of Xcode installed on your Mac and want Elements to use a specific version (of if the one version of Xcode you have installed is for some reason not detected by default), you can explicitly select a version of Xcode from the 'Command Line Tools' dropdown in the Xcode Preferences window:
Alternatively, you can run
in Terminal to switch the selected version of Xcode (where you'd replace /path/to/Xcode.app with the actual path to the version of Xcode you want to use).
You can also use
in Terminal to find out what version of Xcode is currently selected. CrossBox uses this command line internally, so you can be assured that whatever the output is, it is what CrossBox will see, as well.
SDK Versions
Please note that in order for things to work out of the box, the version of Xcode you install needs to contain SDK versions supported/known by Elements in form of a folder with .fx files.
In most cases, Elements and CrossBox will automatically determine the highest version of the SDK supported by both Elements and the version of Xcode you have installed.
Download Xcode For Linux Ubuntu
Any version of Elements will come with pre-built .fx files for the latest SDKs that were released at the time that version of Elements shipped, as well as support for some older SDKs. Please refer to the .fx Files topic for more details.

Elements will automatically download newer (or older) SDK versions form our website as needed, on first build. You can also downlaod SDK support manually from elementscompiler.com/elements/sdks and, if needed, you can also manually import SDKs from an Xcode version; please refer to the Importing new SDKs topic for more details on this.
