Re: reloading iOS provisioning profiles etc

[Earthednet-wp]

Ben,
I feel your pain. I don't load a new app to my iPhone very often, but when I 
do, I plan an entire day stumbling around in the forest of updates, new 
versions, certificates, provisioning, etc, etc. There is a tutorial on the 
lessons and it worked the first time for me. But after that it was a guessing 
game and when it did finally work, I didn't really know why.

I'm getting ready to trod that trail again, and hope for the best.
Good luck. If you get any magic wisdom, please post it.

Bill

reloading iOS provisioning profiles etc

[Ben Rubinstein]

After adding a new device to my registered set in my Apple developer account, 
how can I get LC to recognise it?


I go through this every now and then, conduct a lot of superstitious rituals, 
eventually I get there.. but I never know how.


I've launched Xcode, used it to build an app to the device, which caused it to 
say that there was a problem and offer to fix it. Now Xcode can build to the 
new device, but LiveCode still not.


The message (when I ask Xcode to add the newly built app to the device) is

The executable was signed with invalid entitlements.

The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing
Entitlements file do not match those specified in your
provisioning profile. (0xE8008016).


In LC, I've selected a different provisioning profile, selected the original 
one again, quit and restarted LC, turned to face east, hailed cthulhu, etc... 
all the usual things... still no luck.


So, how do I force LC to refresh the provisioning profiles, or otherwise to 
build an app which can be installed on a new device?


Secondary question: how do I get LC to stop seeing every old profile I've ever 
had (many with the same name) in the "Profile" popup on the iOS tab of the 
Standalone Settings window?


TIA,

Ben

"\n" appearing in Unicode

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

I have inserted quotes into a MySQL database. I thought I was careful to be 
sure it was all Unicode encoded.

We ported the content over SQLite for use in an mobile app.

I can fetch the quotes and then run

put textDecode ( aSelectedQuotes[tNo]["content"], UTF8) into sQuote



Diacritical marks are coming through nicely but endlines are an issue:
but we are getting this output into the var/field

Anyone know why this might be?

Re: "Command" as control structure?

[Mike Bonner]

I don't think there is a difference, though I use command for my handlers
and on for rev built ins (on mouseup, on keydown etc). Just another way to
aid my recognition of things in my scripts.

"Command" as control structure?

[Peter Bogdanoff]

I see that “command” is a synonym of “on” in LC script.

Is using “command” rather than “on” a purely style preference?

I see in the old LiveCode dictionary:
The command synonym, along with the ability to declare private handlers 
was added in LiveCode 2.8.1

Why? Is this something to do with the message path?

When I need to test without third-party plugins I just rename the

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.1 RC-1

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi Henry,

Interesting. I did not update my existing Xcode version from 7.3 -> 8. I
just downloaded Xcode 8 from the Apple downloads page, and the iOS 10 sim
was included by default.




*Should I reports as a bug that LC crashed when trying to launch an app in
the simulator because there was no appropriate iOS simulator installed?*
I leave this to you*. *I am on holiday for a week so there might be a delay
in processing the bug queue.

Regarding bug 17779, it is of high priority, so I would expect a fix soon.

Best,
Panos

Re: How to stop LoveCode running in Edit mode

[Keith Clarke]

Thanks Richard & Alan for the response. It looks like a plugin is responsible 
for this strange behaviour...

Richard - great and comprehensive background information on some of the things 
going on in LiveCode 'under the hood'. My primary use of the IDE is to create 
utilities and prototypes - so I consider myself very much an IDE ‘driver’ 
rather than any kind of ‘engineer’. Thanks for the first-level checks. I 
created a new stack on 8.1.1 with just a button and a right-click didn’t reveal 
a menu, despite put the mode of this stack = 1 and put the cantmodify of this 
stack = false.

Alan - thanks for the tip regarding plugins & BvG Docu. To continue the above 
car analogy, I don’t venture under the hood but I have a whole raft of plugins 
that I’ve collected over the years (with little thought to housekeeping), 
including BvG Docu 2. I’m sure many of these delve into LiveCode’s inner 
workings. I moved BvG Docu 2 out of my Plugins folder but the behaviour 
persisted. So, I emptied the Plugins folder and LiveCode 8.1.1 seems to be 
behaving as I expect to see. :-)

Am I correct to assume that a clean LiveCode installation would have the 
Plugins folder empty? I ask as despite clearing this out, I still see a couple 
of third-party plugins listed despite the Plugin folder being empty - e.g. Data 
Grid Helper. Have I further housekeeping to undertake to clear the decks of any 
obsolete code?
Best,
Keith..

Re: How to stop LoveCode running in Edit mode

[Alan]

Keith

Are you, by any chance, using BVG Docu as your Dictionary substitute? Or is it 
installed in your Plugins?  If so, remove it from your 8.1 set of plugins, as 
it's not compatible and lead to this sort of behaviour (for me, at least), if 
I'm understanding your problem correctly.

Alternatively, run through your plugins to see if it's another one that is 
causing issues for you. Take 1/2 of them out, restart, see if problem occurs, 
etc... :-)

HTH

Re: The Achilles heel of Android and iOS

[Matt Maier]

Of the two skills, engineering and sales, it's the sales skill that's more
generally useful (provided there are other humans around).

If an engineer does good engineering they STILL have to find a salesman.

If a salesman does good sales they don't necessarily even need a real
product or service at all.

Engineers don't like that, but it's as real as the sky being blue. You
don't have to manipulate the laws of physics to create value. All you have
to manipulate are people. And even if you do manipulate the laws of physics
you still have to manipulate people anyway.

Re: Detect lat/long Intersections

[Matt Maier]

You can try using within(object, point) if you define an object using the
points on the boundary of your detection area.

If your area is easy to define then you can just test it. For example, if
it's a circle then you only need to measure the distance between the bus's
location and the center of the circle. If it's a rectangle then you just
measure if the point is less than and greater than the bounding latitude
and longitude.
