RFduino Board compile error

[Deaniesaur]

Just yesterday. I can compile and upload codes to my RFduino module. However, I dont know if an update came and suddenly this bug appeared. Please help me as soon as possible. Needed for a project.
Tried to uninstall/reinstall arduino IDE and RFduino libraries but nothing fixed it.

Error Messages:

Arduino: 1.8.4 (Windows 10), Board: "RFduino"

Board RFduino (platform RFduino, package RFduino) is unknown

Error compiling for board RFduino.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

This issue tracker is about reporting bugs in the Arduino IDE, not for getting help with your own code, projects and third-party boards, so I'm closing this issue. I suggest you ask your question on the Arduino forums or with RFduino instead (and be sure to include more details, such as the sketch you are trying to compile and certainly the full compilation output and error messages, probably with verbose compilation enabled, some info on how you installed the RFDuino board files would be helpful too). From a quick look at the error message, it seems that your RFDuino board was not properly installed somehow.

Your installation looks broken; check if C:\Users\dean_\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\RFduino\tools\arm-none-eabi-gcc\4.8.3-2014q1/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++ file exists and, if it doesn't, please uninstall and reinstall RFDuino core

this has been acknowledge as a bug in the IDE installed from Windows Apps Store: #6673

[per1234]

The second output @Deaniesaur posted is #6673. The first is a completely different issue (similar to #5146). That issue is commonly caused by Boards Manager not removing the old version folder when you install a new version of a hardware package. Once you manually delete the old version folder the problem goes away.
