Issue with ios-deploy makefile while on Catalina and latest Xcode

[cruor99]

Versions

• Python:
• OS:MacOS Catalina 10.15.3
• Buildozer: 1.0

Description

Currently buildozer is using ios-deploy 1.7.0 which appears to be heavily outdated (they've since made it node based). In the makefile for this specific version, it references the MobileDevice.framework framework, which is no longer located in the spot referenced.
The line central to the issue:

	$(IOS_CC) -g -o ios-deploy -framework Foundation -framework CoreFoundation -framework MobileDevice -F/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks ios-deploy.c

The correct fix:

	$(IOS_CC) -g -o ios-deploy -framework Foundation -framework CoreFoundation -framework MobileDevice -F/Library/Apple/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks ios-deploy.c

I'm not entirely sure what the best approach to fix this would be, but presumably it would be to update the ios-deploy version used to the latest, 1.10.0.
Otherwise maybe alter that line in the ios-deploy makefile before the make command is executed?

buildozer -v ios debug

#    List as sections
#
#    You can define all the "list" as [section:key].
#    Each line will be considered as a option to the list.
#    Let's take [app] / source.exclude_patterns.
#    Instead of doing:
#
#[app]
#source.exclude_patterns = license,data/audio/*.wav,data/images/original/*
#
#    This can be translated into:
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns]
#license
#data/audio/*.wav
#data/images/original/*
#


#    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#    Profiles
#
#    You can extend section / key with a profile
#    For example, you want to deploy a demo version of your application without
#    HD content. You could first change the title to add "(demo)" in the name
#    and extend the excluded directories to remove the HD content.
#
#[app@demo]
#title = My Application (demo)
#
#[app:source.exclude_patterns@demo]
#images/hd/*
#
#    Then, invoke the command line with the "demo" profile:
#
#buildozer --profile demo android debug

Apologies for just an image, but it's a simple error:

I've also run into this same issue.

[AndreMiras]

@cruor99 could you please post the full build log so this can be investigated?
It's often very difficult to know how to act on a truncated build log or screenshot

[mbrockman1]

Has anyone had any luck with this problem?
