Hello,
To decide where to run the app, go to the Editor menu (not the Edit menu),
arrow down to Destination, right arrow to expand, and choose an option. You
have to connect your iPhone before it will show up as a possible destination,
and you will have to go through a one-time process of trusting your own
developer account in iOS before your app will run. It's worth it, though, as
the simulators don't seem to be very usable with VoiceOver.
As to errors, try cmd-semicolon, which should jump you to the next error. You
can also go to a file where you suspect an error is, and find the item next to
that file's edit text field in its editor. This should contain the line numbers
and text of any errors in that file. Finally, go to the Navigator group and
choose the Issue Navigator, then move to the issues table and look through
them. Tip: focus will often jump to the problem area when you arrow to an
issue, before VO can read the text of that issue. You might want to turn cursor
tracking off (vo-shift-f3) before exploring the table, then turn it back on
when you want to work on the errors. Oh, vo-j a couple times from an error that
didn't jump you to a filed you should land in the file, on the line or section
with the problem. You can usually ignore Interface Builder/constraint/other UI
warnings until you're ready to really get your layout working right. Issues
like this shouldn't prevent your app from working, though they could lead to
hidden or obscured UI controls.
