Same here. Running Emacs 27.1 with a fresh installation of emacs-live using the bash command, no additional packs or anything.

It seems emacs 27 has broken sevenal things in emacs-live. I have updated my own fork to work with emacs27. If there is interest I would be happy to submit a pull request, but I have held off because it seems this repo is not reviewing new Pull Requests (the last merged PR is from 2016). Please let me know if a Pull Request for emacs 27 would be favorably received.

@josephfosco If you decide to forego sending a PR, would you consider linking a gist or a commit in your fork?

I forked this and created this PR: #264 Before I saw this issue, by the way. Essentially, I had to fix two things - a deprecated function - set-default-font and I just grabbed the latest version of swiper and moved that into this dir: /packs/stable/foundation-pack/lib/swiper. That was so that the error about ivy-completing-read-handlers-alist stopped.

Hi there, apologies for the delayed response, I've been heavily overloaded recently.

I definitely would love to get fixes in for Emacs 27 if people are prepared to make them :-)

Thanks @samaaron I created a pull request with my changes #266. I'd be happy to discuss any questions, or concerns or make any necessary changes.
