Corrupted Binaries?

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Ok, so I uploaded my app to Apple and this is what I got back:



Dear developer,

We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for 
"myAppName". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:

Invalid Binary - The app contains one or more corrupted binaries. Rebuild the 
app and resubmit.

Once these issues have been corrected, you can then redeliver the corrected 
binary.

Regards,

The App Store team

Anyone know what they might be talking about?   There are no files being copied 
in (“Copy Files” section of the App Settings).Is this because I checked 
“Disable ATS”?

Re: webP and webM support in LiveCode

[Monte Goulding via use-livecode]

Hi Alejandro

webM would require a reasonable size refactor to players because we would need 
to wrap a custom player around the library and then decide which player to use 
depending on the movie file.

webP on the other hand looks like it could be added without any refactoring, 
however, as you can imagine there is a _lot_ of work in adding an image format. 
It could be that such work is justified by the HTML5 project to help with file 
size. Failing that and given there’s a workaround of not using the format I 
imagine it would take a business services contract or an open source 
contribution to get it done. Then there’s considerations like whether adding 
the library to the engine is comparable in size to any savings one might make 
using the format. Not an issue for a browser that displays many websites but 
for us it would make the project a net loss.

Cheers

Monte

If this was iOS, Apple don’t allow loading of insecure sites. Are the ones that 
work HTTPS and the ones that don’t HTTP?

App Transport Security

App Transport Security (ATS) enforces best practices in the secure
connections between an app and its back end. ATS prevents accidental
disclosure, provides secure default behavior, and is easy to adopt; it is
also on by default in iOS 9 and OS X v10.11. You should adopt ATS as soon
as possible, regardless of whether you’re creating a new app or updating an
existing one.

If you’re developing a new app, you should use HTTPS exclusively. If you
have an existing app, you should use HTTPS as much as you can right now,
and create a plan for migrating the rest of your app as soon as possible.
In addition, your communication through higher-level APIs needs to be
encrypted using TLS version 1.2 with forward secrecy. If you try to make a
connection that doesn't follow this requirement, an error is thrown. If
your app needs to make a request to an insecure domain, you have to specify
this domain in your app's Info.plist file.

Re: Search Values of Array in "One Go"

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

This will work with any array. It recursively calls itself as it encounters 
arrays within arrays. I agree with Richard that if all you want is one shot at 
an array to find the element(s) you are looking for, then this may (or may not) 
be a cleaner approach, but I think if you are taking multiple passes at 
finding/filtering with an array, this will at least get you there. If filtering 
with multiple passes, remember to put the text of the array in another variable 
 as filter *replaces* the contents of the source variable with the results. 

Here is the function. Thinking about it, I suppose you could modify this to 
include a filter parameter so that only the keys matching the filter would be 
returned. 

Bob S


function altPrintKeys @pArray, theKeyList
put numtochar(11) into vertTab
put numtochar(30) into altCr
put the keys of pArray into theKeys
sort theKeys numeric

repeat FOR each line theKey in theKeys
put "[" & theKey & "] " after theKeyList
if theKey is not a number then
replace "[" & theKey & "]" WITH "[" & quote & theKey & quote & "]" 
in theKeyList
end if
if pArray[theKey] is an array then
put pArray[theKey] into theTempArray
put altPrintKeys(theTempArray, theKeyList, pFullData) after theText
put empty into the last word of theKeyList
delete the last char of theKeyList
put cr into the last char of theText
else
put "pArray " & the last word of theKeyList into theKeyName
-- put "put " & theKeyName & " into theValue" into theCommand
-- do theCommand
put value(theKeyName) into theValue
replace tab WITH vertTab in theValue
replace return WITH altCr in theValue
put theKeyList & tab & theValue & comma after theText
put empty into the last word of theKeyList
delete the last char of theKeyList
end if
end repeat

return theText

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

Bob Sneidar wrote:

> I suppose thinking about it you could arrayencode an array then do a
> search on it

You probably don't want to do that.  I've given a lot of thought to 
methods of indexing large LSON files on disk, and I can find no method 
anywhere near as practical as working with them in their native array 
structure, given their linear, non-indexed LSON format.


Besides, in order to serialize an LC array it needs to be small enough 
to fit into RAM to begin with, so the one thing we know about all LSON 
files is that they fit into RAM nicely. :)


It's been a while since Mark Waddingham generously provided some notes 
in the LSON format (for the older format, which has changed since the 
introduction of Unicode in v7), but IIRC it was roughly:


0x05 -- one-bye header indicating that what follows is an array (now 
0x06 in v7 and later)

  
  NULL <4-byte data length indicator>

There is a different op-code for numbers than for strings (IIRC 0x02 for 
numbers), allowing numbers to use a more compact binary form.


I'm guessing that in addition to the new op-code indicating an array 
type, the former NULL separator between element name and length UINT4 
has been replaced with a preceding length byte, since of course NULLs 
can be part of the Unicode string of the element name.


Nice tidy format, well suited for disk storage and network transfer, but 
looking for things requires linear search in LSON, whereas the 
de-serialized native array form takes advantage of the super-quick 
bucket hash to find a given key.


Much as XQuery works on an in-memory, already-parsed form of XML, 
searching associative arrays in memory will be the way to go.


So looping is both faster to execute and easier to script in array form.

The biggest challenges would be parsing the query expression, and 
generalizing evaluation within the loop(s) to handle the range of query 
options.

I see. Thanks.  I was thinking of Answer as serving two purposes:

a) Immediate notification, often requiring confirmation or other decision

b) Picker for list of short-string options

Use case a) is probably best handled in toasts, but maybe only in some 
cases.  Sometimes a user really needs to know something, to the point 
that it's worth stopping the workflow to require confirmation.


Case b) is of course more appropriately handled with mobile pick lists, 
though it sort of begs the question why the native pick list isn't used 
for such cases.


I suppose there's no way for the engine to determine whether a given 
call to the answer command is case a) or b), so maybe the generic dialog 
isn't a completely useless thing...


BUT...

...since the alternative for use b) is something that can't be used at 
all in the IDE or any desktop app at all, it requires us to write 
forking code to handle it.

Re: Search Values of Array in "One Go"

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Bob: fascinating

[1] ["addr2"]   ,[1] ["smtppassword"]   none,[1] ["itemail"],[1] 
["contactphone"]   661-257-1177,[1] ["contactonsite"]  false, etc. 

what about a 2 diminsional array



You can see from this format that you can convert to lines and then you can 
filter the lines by key or by value. If you want by key you could filter by 
quote & key & quote. Otherwise for values filter by tab & value. 

The downside would be working with really large arrays because of course 
this loops through every array element to produce a textual representation of 
the array. Still, it's something if you already have an array for one reason or 
another, and you want to search/filter the array for keys or values.

BR: well I am now going back to the dbase, because it was so easy just to pass 
a new query array (name value pairs for the columns to look up) but on android 
the dBase lib and look up is slow on Android.  I wonder if doing something like 
youa re doing with the array that is already in memory would be faster.

I will have to figure out exactly what you are doing first… can you post the 
full functions?

Re: Search Values of Array in "One Go"

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I've partially deciphered it. I created a tab delimited table of each 
non-printing character followed by the text between that and the next 
non-printing character. Here is a sample:

12  contactphone
8   
0   
12  661-257-1177
0   
13  contactonsite
8   
0   
5   false
0   
12  contactemail
7   
0   
6   itname
7   
0   

The 12 before the contactphone and the 5 before the false are clearly the 
length of the value. 0 is some kind of delimiter. 8 following contactphone and 
contactonsite appears to mean "what follows is a value" (also preceded by a 
length) and 7 means "empty". 

What is clear before going any further is that a key cannot be discerned from 
this format. At least not very easily. 

Now I wrote a function years ago similar to printKeys() but specifically 
designed so that filter could be used on the result. It produces a comma 
delimited list, each item of which is a tab separated value of the array key 
and the value. It looks like this:

[1] ["addr2"]   ,[1] ["smtppassword"]   none,[1] ["itemail"],[1] 
["contactphone"]   661-257-1177,[1] ["contactonsite"]  false, etc. 

You can see from this format that you can convert to lines and then you can 
filter the lines by key or by value. If you want by key you could filter by 
quote & key & quote. Otherwise for values filter by tab & value. 

The downside would be working with really large arrays because of course this 
loops through every array element to produce a textual representation of the 
array. Still, it's something if you already have an array for one reason or

Re: Search Values of Array in "One Go"

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Okay it's not entirely straight forward. I took a simple array from a datagrid 
with one record and ran this on it:

on mouseUp pButtonNumber
   put the dgData of group "dgsites" into aSiteData
   put arrayencode(aSiteData) into tSiteData
   repeat for each char tChar in tSiteData
  add 1 to tCounter
  if cleanAscii(tChar) is not empty then next repeat
  put tCounter & tab & charToNum(tChar) & cr after tAscii
   end repeat
   set the itemDelimiter to tab
   sort lines of tAscii numeric by item 2 of each
   put tAscii
end mouseUp

This returns a tab delimited list of position and non-printing ascii characters 
ranging from 0 to 58. What the ascii characters designate is the mystery. Any 
documentation on that?

Re: Sending a message to users that floats above everything

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

My main point was that intrusive answer dialogs aren't appropriate for any 
OS now, and no mobile platform uses them. There are no native substitutes.


The equivalent for Android is in the Android object library I made which is 
now available for anyone who attended my LC Global session. If you want to 
make your own, it's basically just a group with appropriately shadowed and 
colored controls, which communicate with the calling handler via dialogData.

Re: Search Values of Array in "One Go"

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I mentioned a few years ago when arrays first were introduced that there ought 
to be an engine based way to seach arrays for values, returning matching key 
references (not just one but ALL). If you are only interested in certain keys 
you could then filter the results. 

To make this fast for large arrays, you might have to have a way to index the 
arrays, but now we are talking about a memory based database system, and I am 
not sure Livecode arrays are the way to go. It may be enough to be able to do a 
kind of full text search on an array in memory. 

I suppose thinking about it you could arrayencode an array then do a search on 
it, but I am not sure how you would discern the array keys. I'll have to look 
at the encoded format. At that point if that approach worked, the only 
advantage to searching a memory based array is you would be skipping the 
encoding step, and searching the actual array in memory with the engine might 
be considerably faster than having LC search a text variable. 

I'll play around with it to see what I can come up with.

RE: Sierra update --> Xcode install --> LC no provisioning profile

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Here's the deal with Sierra and LC 8.1.6

Xcode 8.3.3==> SDK 10.3 Simulator 10.3
Xcode 7.1.2==> SDK 9.2 Simulator 9.2
Xcode 6.2==> SDK 8.2 Simulator 8.2
Xcode 5.1.1==> SDK 7.1 Simulator 7.1
Xcode 4.6.3==> SDK 6.1 Simulator 6.1

To load all these versions without problems:

1] Keep only one version of Xcode in the applications folder named
Xcode.app.
2] Create an OldXcodeVersions folder. 
3] When upgrading:
  A] Move Xcode.app from applications folder to the OldXcodeVersions folder
and rename it to Xcode.x.y.app.
  B] Download the new Xcode from the developer portal. 
  C] Open up downloads and install Xcode into the applications folder..
  D] Open up the new Xcode.app
  E] In the LC prefs select...add a new Xcode.
  F] Add the Xcode that you just moved and renamed in A and B. This give you
access to older SDKs and simulators.
4] Never upgrade Xcode.*
5] Never install from App Store . *
6] Trash any versions of Xcode that were upgrades and re-download them fresh
from developers portal. 
7] Open the downloaded Xcode versions one at a time named Xcode.app in the
applications folder and then move to the OldXcodeVersions folder and rename.

Repeat 6-7 for each old version you want access to. While installing these
old versions temporarily move your current xcode.app from the applications
to a temporary folder until done.

At my local Linux User Group last year a fella from NASA gave a 
presentation about a system he'd developed for querying planetary data 
via URLs.


The data is huge (basically everything every interplanetary 
satellite/robot delivers to JPL) and his choice of HDF (Hierarchical 
Data Format) as the storage base was interesting in itself (imagine a 
large encoded array but designed for traversal on disk).


But even more so was his query API.  A thing of beauty.  One-line URLs 
could be entered in a browser to locate just about anything in the 
massive HDF store.


Ultimately it could be seen as a simplified form of XQuery, every bit as 
elegant and flexible but without the XML-specific cruft (having to 
account for the mix of elements and attributes).


Of course this led me to thinking of ways to use this for LC arrays.

It should be possible to craft a library to allow XQuery-like one-liners 
to locate anything anywhere in any array.


It should also be possible to do this in the engine with 
blindingly-faster efficiency.


But as a starting point, fleshing out the API in script seemed at least 
a good first step.


I do not have the time to pursue it in earnest.  But XQuery is well 
documented, and a sufficiently-inspired person may be able to come up 
with a pretty great query system given sufficient time to explore the 
possibilities...

Re: Thoughts on BLOBs in SQLite

The advantage comes if you are displaying the image through a web browser - you 
can put in the URL for the image and let the webview handle concurrent image

I still went the other way, for other reasons, but that is one of the 
advantages.

The other is database file size.

Re: Android Security (was Re: Sending a message to users that floats above everything)

[Mark Waddingham via use-livecode]

I must confess I read Jacques post as meaning the Google Play Store (google 
play services are something else - although related).

If the store is now present on that percentage of devices then the problem with 
OS updates more than justifies the recent tightening of the rules of the 
store...

The recent revision essentially mean the OS APIs an app can use are frozen at 
the point of submission - if you use more than that after installation you are 
breaking the rules...

The fact google play can know what OS APIs are used means they can also use 
that knowledge to help guard against exploits - so I suspect unpatched android 
devices are safer than might be thought otherwise... assuming only apps from 
google play are installed, at least.

By the way, the above is mostly speculation based on the recent app guideline 
changes google have made. I'm sure google keep what they actually do internally 
a closely guarded secret, like Apple so no-one knows where the holes are. 
(Sometimes obfuscation is still the best line of defence - if weak).

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Have you considered LSON files (LiveCode encoded arrays)?

Where I used to use stack files for some storage options, I've been 
migrating to LSON with two benefits:


- Being raw data outside of a stack object, I never need to think about 
the IDE's limitation on stack names in memory.


- The syntax for working with the resulting variable is a tad simpler 
than with object properties.


As a collection of nested key-value pairs it would seem LSON is a good 
fit for CouchDB's way of working with data.

Re: Native Mobile Radio Buttons - Focus on Entry Field on Mobile

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Mike wrote:
for starters, get scott's tmControls2.  They just look better.

BR: duh of course!


as for the focus, how are you trying to do it?  are you using "focus on"?
"click at the loc of"?

BR: The focus comes into the search field when the custom control slides down… 
cursor is there and key board pops up by hard coding:

focus on fld "searchstring"
select after fld "searchstring"

User can enter text, and then click one of three options like

_Title_Description _ Artists   

# I couldn't get %like% to work across three columns for a single string and 
this is better anyway

As long as the events went  like this

1) type in search string
2) choose radio button for what to search in
3) click the search button

it worked.

But if events went like this:

1) choose a radio button
2) click into field
 # now the keyboard no longer pops up…

OK so I went back and set the "autohilite" to true on a hunch… and OK! now it 
works on iOS and on Android, with a caveat on Android, which possibly is a bug?

1) choose a radio button: Artists

2) click into the field.. # now with autohilite set to true, the keyboard pops 
up
  -- enter "Meena"

3) but now, in the radio button group below, the hilitedbuttons are set to 
empty…"Artists" is de-selected!

4) user gets the message "Select Search In:"  and has to click again on  
"Artists"

Does that seem right? Shouldn't the hilitedbutton remain "sticky" when the user 
switches focus to, taps into the field? It does on desktop and iOS. It's as if 
on Android, the radio button group is "hearing about" the mouse event outside 
as if it were another radio button and deselecting all buttons in it's group.

Should I report this?

I think it’s important to understand exactly what Google Play Services is and 
isn’t. 

It provides a base API, like Windows .NET, that runs on a variety of Android 
versions giving developers something common to develop against. Google Play 
Services can and does update those API’s and also updates Google Apps and 
components such as WebKit. It also provides malware scanning and blocking 
similar to Windows Defender, i.e. it is a layer of security

It does NOT provide core OS security updates. Those are, except for Google’s 
Pixel and Nexus, incorporated and provided by the manufacturer as a patch level 
update to the OS. It is not THE security layer for Android, just a part of it. 

So while 93% of Android devices have a layer of protection, it would be like 
saying Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.6 or even unpatched Widows 10 or macOS are 
“protected” because they have a malware scanner/blocker running. Sure, it may 
blunt some/most of it, but they are still vulnerable. 

At least with Google Play Services you get updates to some API components like 
WebKit, although that only starts with Android 5.0. You don’t get that on iOS.

Also, just like other OS vendors, it’s rolling support. 4.4 is the last 
supported version for Google Play and Google warns that will change as newer 
versions come out.

See https://source.android.com/security/overview/updates-resources 
 and 
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/ 
 for more details.

Sorry, this is getting long winded and probably pointless. To me, this isn’t 
about OS vs OS. You aren’t safe/secure/protected if you don’t fix the 
underlying problem.

Best,

Steve MacLean

Browser widget android local file problem

[Alan via use-livecode]

Am having a problem loading a local file that displays a Google map on the 
Android emulator. LC 8.1.6.

I was also having a problem with local HTML files in general, but got that 
going. Using the same method for a dynamically created map document, located in 
the specialfolderpath("documents") folder doesn't seem to work. See below for 
code that doesn't work followed by code that works.

1. Code that doesn't work is (using a file from the "documents" specialFolder):
---
   put specialFolderPath("documents") & slash & "MAP.html" into tMapFile
-- tMapFile = /data/data/com.scruffmonkey.echidnaCSI/files/MAP.html   
-- Why is the path /data/data/...  and not /data/app/...  as in the next 
example?
   if the platform contains "android" then
set the url of widget "myMap" to tMapFile
   else
put fileConvertToFileURL(tMapFile) into tURL
set the url of widget "myMap" to (tURL)
   end if
---


2. While code that works is (using a file from the resources folder):
---
  put specialFolderPath("resources") & "/data/fun_facts.html" into tFile
 -- tFile = 
/data/app/com.scruffmonkey.echidnaCSI-2/base.apk/data/fun_facts.html
  if the platform contains "android" then
 set the url of widget "infoscroll" to (tFile)
  else
 put fileConvertToFileURL(tFile) into tURL
 set the url of widget "infoscroll" to (tURL)
  end if
---


Any ideas why there's a difference between the resources and documents 
specialFolderPaths?

Why does the "documents" specialFolderPath here start with /data/data/  and the 
resources one start with /data/app/  ??

I've also tried setting the HTMLText of the widget but that also doesn't seem 
to work.

Help please! :-)

cheers

I updated my system to the following:

I can build an iOS app with no errors BUT when I go to install it on my
iPad I get the following Xcode error:

*The executable was signed with invalid entitlements*.
The entitlements specified in your application’s Code Signing Entitlements
file are invalid, not permitted, or do not match those specified in your
provisioning profile. (0xE8008016)

I don't know if this is a bug in LC or an Apple Xcode / Provisioning issue.

Has anyone experienced this error while using Livecode?

As J. demonstrated in LC Global, you can dim the background stuff before
displaying a dialog.  Yours is slightly different because of the map in the
browser, so what if you had a "generic map" image that is super minecraft
pixelated to display in its place?  Just hide the group that contains the
browser, and reveal the generic pixelated image beneath it.

This is very true.  My old China made tablet running Android 4.1.1 (no os

device continues to serve me well in compatibility-testing of apps created

Little OT: PHP script needed

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

sorry for posting this to this list, but it is a bit of an emergency...
Anyone available for writing a little PHP script I can post things to?

Requirements for the script, it needs to:
1. Receive a PDF file and maybe a password I can post to the server 
additionally. 

2. save the PDF file under the name (ref_number).pdf in a directory of our 
choice

3. Return the string OK back to our app/my script, so I know the file is on the 
server.

4. send an email to the user with the URL to the just saved PDF file.
This may require a lookup: posted ref_number -> username and mail address from 
a database

Please write to me personally, will forward the mail to my client.

Thank you for your attention. 


Best

Klaus

Floating above everything else is easy if everything else is invisible.
So why not hide everything else and display a beautiful custom dialog?

Re: Sending a message to users that floats above everything

[Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode]

Would it be possible in LCB to make a float-above-everything (including 
browser) dialog?

My point was that unfortunately that only means ~15% of currently active

anytime soon because of the way the OS is rolled out through 3rd parties for 
the most part.


Actually, I was trying to make the opposite point -- Google Play 
Services is now on (at least) 93% of all Android devices. It runs on any 
Android regardless of manufacturer or customized OS, provided the device 
is authorized to access the Google Play Store. It's had over 5 billion 
downloads and is, among other things, the security layer.

It isn't only the "Google-made" phones that are protected, it's almost 
all of them now.

You can easily run CouchDB on a laptop or PC. There is a little more admin that 
SQLite but not very much. One of the strengths of CouchDB is it’s database 
synchronisation (one-way or both-ways) - 
http://docs.couchdb.org/en/2.1.0/replication/index.html 
.

There is also a mobile embedded Couchbase that should sync with CouchDB - 
https://developer.couchbase.com/mobile  
- I guess that would need a LiveCode Builder wrapper before it could be 
accessed from LiveCode.
