Re: Apple Wants Application Specific Password

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Wow! It too easy.

1) You do not have log out of the personal ID with iCloud on your Mac.,
2) Xcode: you must sign in using the develop account Apple ID and it's password 
(not app specific password)
3) Open Application Loader from "Open Developer Tools"
4) Here is where Apple support has a gap with communication. They kept saying
" If you are able to input a password at the prompt…" But there was no prompt! 
5) In upper left corner of Application Loader, I see what looks like a label 
saying "Himalayan Academy". 
6) On hunch I clicked it. Lo! I have the chance to Log Out  of the current 
Apple ID
7) I log out, and am prompted for a new App ID and pass word
8) Again, an on hunch, I enter the develop Apple ID and the App-Specific 
password
9) The app goes  through!

There is nothing in all the documentation that explains this! Apple has broken 
its own HIG with "mystery meat" UI.

It just that App Loader has it *own* log in, and that requires the App Specific 
password.

Thank you for you reply. I apologize for the delayed response was we have been 
experiencing a much higher than normal volume of calls and emails.

If you are able to input a password at the prompt, any created passwords should 
be found under your Apple ID information through https://appleid.apple.com. 

If you are not seeing an app-specific password prompt, you may wish to use 
Xcode Archives organizer. You can find more information about this process here:

Re: add file extension share for iOS app

[Matthias Rebbe via use-livecode]

I´ve managed to get it now working.

So i am now able to open an email attachment on my iOS device in my Livecode 
App.

I´ve created a little tool, which makes it a bit easier to create/modify the 
additional needed lines for the plist file.

I´ve uploaded it to Livecode Share and it´s called IOS-Plist-AdditionalData.

You just have to enter the needed information and the tool creates the 
additional lines which then have to be added to the "original" info.plist.

Maybe this is of some use for the one or the other. 


Regards,

Matthias

About halfway down there is a section called "More Information" and "How 
can I use different Apple IDs for iCloud and my Apple Developer account?"


I did the thing where I created a new account on the Mac with my 
developer iCloud ID, but I haven't tried adding the account to my iCloud 
system prefs in my normal Mac user account yet. It's been a stressful 
week and I haven't even tried to log into Apple's dev portal.

Re: Apple Wants Application Specific Password

Just for you and really just for you ;) , i´ve opened my iCloud settings on my 
Mac and logged out from iCloud.
I then opened xCode and removed my iCloud Account/Developer Account in 
Preferences.

After that i opened ApplicationLoader from within Xcode / Open Developer Tools.

I´ve entered my Application Specific Password (my email address was already 
visible) and was able to login.

Re: BACKUPS !!!

[Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode]

Thanks for the reminder, Ralph, and glad you indeed had backups.

On which subject... my top tip to friends, family, and even casual 
acquaintances is *Backblaze* network backup.


It's not a substitute for local and off-site direct backups. I'm sure that as 
professionals in an IT-related field we all have all those in hand. And for 
those with just a laptop rather than a big raid array etc all the operating 
systems now make it trivially easy (and cheap) to plug in a little USB drive 
and be backed up. But our less technical friends and family may just not have 
got round to it yet; and if they have - especially with a laptop - they may 
not remember to plug the backup drive in very often.


There are lots of network backup options of course - I could never get round 
to setting it up for my family's machines because there were too many options 
to choose between, and surely I should go one of the free setups between 
computers... etc. Too many options, result inertia.


What makes Backblaze fantastic, in my opinion, is that they've cut through all 
of that, reducing to the absolute minimum the effort and choices required. Go 
to https://backblaze.com, click "try it for free", enter your email address 
and make up a password. It downloads a little installer - you run that and 
you're essentially done.


They bake your email/password into the installer so you don't have to do 
anything else. After a while they'll email you to tell you how it's going; 
eventually they'll email to invite you to give them your credit card if you 
want to keep going. There is a control panel, there are options, there are 
other groovy features - but if you never know about or touch them you'll still 
be getting backed up.


There are also no plans to choose between: it's $60/computer/year, regardless 
of how big (or how many) the drive(s) attached to that computer.


Backblaze are very clear that this shouldn't be your first- or second-line 
backup. They're right. But if I ask my spouse or child when they last plugged 
the backup drive into their laptop, I know the answer will make me cry. The 
fact that Backblaze will have kept running to the last minute they closed the 
lid is my sanity clause. When bad things inevitably happen - and of course it 
will fall to me to deal with it - I will be able to rescue their undeserving 
asses!


I don't want to give you an affiliate link because I'd rather you got backed 
up than doubted the purity of my evangelism! If you're all covered, good for 
you. But if you're not, or if your cousin, colleague, or chiropractor look 
like they need a clue - I think this is a very small amount of money to 
increase peace of mind.

password protected stack and passkey

[JJS via use-livecode]

HI,


i don't fully understand the password protection on how it functions in 
Indy.


If i add a password and save the stack, unload it from memory. Then 
reload it again, nothing happens and i can see all scripts.



If i put the password protected stack on a server, then load it with a 
splash program.


Then If i set the passkey or not in the splash program, it just loads it 
and runs it.



So how should work? The dictionary does not make it clearer for me.


Should the IDE not ask me for a password? after reload i can see the 
password in the standalone settings.


Should the splah program not run it if no passkey has been set?


Thanks!

Jerry

RE: BACKUPS !!!

[Clarence Martin via use-livecode]

One more thing. I am not promoting the use of Acronis True Image. That is a
personal choice for each user. What I do suggest, if you are using a program
such as Active Protect that scans for Ransom ware or Crypto mining be sure
that you have the ability to stop it from doing scanning of LiveCode. That
is where the problem lies.

Ralph, thanks for this reminder.
I think that backups are very important. I don't have a big or even little
client base but I have had to restart, and rebuild many things on my
computer over the years. The loss of data is a very memorable event to
computer users.

A little story, if you don't mind. Maybe some other LiveCode users can
benefit from the following story.
In my quest for a good backup software, I chose Acronis True Image Backup
software. 
The UI is not the best in the world but it seemed like a good program and
has received great reviews from many reputable reviewers. I went for it!
It worked well with one exception. I noticed that my LiveCode was
experiencing a substantial slowdown in its performance. This problem was
witnessed by another developer who was giving me some assistance. I could
not figure out what was happening, so I tried to find the source of my
problem. I di create a bug report -21885.
After many efforts to find the problem and removing several other
applications including the Windows Defender Fire Wall, and McAfee Fire Wall,
I decided to reset my Windows10 computer back to a new install. I knew the
ramifications of doing this and accepted the work ahead of me.
Everything was goo with LiveCode and I started reloading programs to see if
any of them was causing the problem. Windows Defender worked just fine,
McAfee was ok and so I continued. Finally, I reloaded Acronis True Image
along with an option to run Active Protection. That's when the LiveCode
Slowness problems started again. It seems as though LiveCode does many disk
reads and writes and Active Protection monitors these activities. It flags
these activities as suspicious and slows the system down a lot.
I found their Chat support as a poor choice. The two support people that I
had were totally useless.
I did find the Active Protect logs and found out what was happening. You can
set the Active Protect to ignore LiveCode and everything just works.
That's my story - it seems as though it's a short story made long, but
hopefully useful to you and other users.

Clarence Martin

RE: BACKUPS !!!

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Richard Gaskin==>I had a similar issue many years ago, and since then
storage prices have dropped, along with the price of cloud services, so now
I'm almost obsessive about having not only multiple redundant backups, but
of different kinds.

I now agree with you. I had my VMs on three separate USB 2 drives. After the
data was restored from the USB 3 drive I went to import the VMs from one of
the USB 2 drives and it failed. So I went to the second and third and the
same thing. After 10 minutes or so Windows would make the hardware beep and
the USB 2 drive would disappear and reappear on all three drives and the VM
import would fail(heart failure time)! So I copied the VMs backup folder to
the raid array, no joy same thing. I figured that the USB buss was being
saturated and either a Windows driver or PC USB HW problem was at work. Now
I am thinking of using the Mac or resurrecting an XP PC to get the data.
Last chance I tried copying the data to the USB 3 drive figuring that the
additional buss activity would allow the USB 2 drive to throttle back a bit
and allow the data to be copied, and it worked! Imported the VMs from the
USB 3 drive and I was good-to-go.

So heed Richard's word of wisdom(I will) "I'm almost obsessive about having
not only multiple redundant backups, but of DIFFERENT KINDS"

Re: BACKUPS !!!

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

I have been an Apple fan for many years, through thick and thin. But I am 
really fed up with the crap Apple is foisting upon us. Apparently there is a 
prevailing sentiment in Cupertino where they think they have every right to 
control what we do with our devices, even after we pay cash money for them. 

I just had to tell one of our users they could not upgrade their memory because 
Apple saw fit to SOLDER THE CHIPS TO THE MOTHERBOARD! Not only that, but my 
battery in my laptop is dying (prematurely) and because the battery is GLUED TO 
THE CASE with exceptionally good glue, the process of removing it myself is 
dangerous and onerous, involving toxic solvents and a great deal of care to 
avoid damaging the batteries. 

I suppose they can justify the logic with the batteries, preventing people from 
easily removing (and therefore improperly disposing of) the battery, but 
soldering memory to the motherboard? And now the drives cannot be migrated??? 

The only thing keeping me from completely abandoning Apple altogether is 
Windows 10.

Glad you got everything back - although I can't imagine it was a 
particularly

pleasant day :|

On a semi-related note, a word of warning to all those who have a 
mid-2018 onward

MacBook or MacBook Pro's...

I was told by one of the Apple Genii when I got mine (partly because I 
had just had
to get my previous laptop repaired - its logic board had failed!) that 
with the mid-
2018 models onwards it is *impossible* to get the data off of the SSD by 
direct
connection to the logic board. (In all prior models it is possible to 
still do so

as long as that component itself hadn't failed).

i.e. If such a laptop has to go in for repair, and the logic board needs 
replaced
then there is no way to get the data off of the SSD on it (presumably it 
is some

how encrypted against something held elsewhere on the logic board).

So, if you have such a model, then its really important you heed the 
little warning

that comes up in macOS these days if you haven't backed up in a while!

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Re: BACKUPS !!!

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

Sorry you had to experience that.  A sobering reminder for all of us.

I had a similar issue many years ago, and since then storage prices have 
dropped, along with the price of cloud services, so now I'm almost 
obsessive about having not only multiple redundant backups, but of 
different kinds.


I have 6 portable USB drives in rotation for daily backups, in addition 
to having key work files sync'd across three machines, one of which also 
maintains a Time Machine backup, and my main rig syncs throughout the 
day to an off-site cloud backup using Nextcloud.


The local backups are run with bash using rsync at the end of each day, 
and the others (Time Machine and Nextcloud) are automatically updated 
throughout the day by design.


Sure, redundant as hell.  But it took very little time to set up, at a 
low cost, and it lets me sleep at night.


All backup systems will fail sooner or later.  All cloud services will 
fail.  Most geographic regions are prone to at least one type of natural 
disaster or another.  And all the while we face security risks which 
require us to be able to re-deploy from backups quickly.


By using multiple backups of different types, I've been able to mitigate 
just about any anticipatable risk.


Like you, I don't want to live through a large data loss ever again. 
And like most folks, I didn't get really serious about redundant backups 
until I'd experienced loss.  Let's hope others can learn without the pain.

Re: OT: Apple Wants Application Specific Password

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

It's the reason for me. Dealing with the App Store is painful, time 
consuming, and I charge extra if a client wants an iOS app just to cover 
the amount of time it takes to get a product through their system. And that 
was before 2FA. Just getting my account set up with 2FA took hours and 
several interactions with Apple support. Then my client had the same issues.


After the deadline Apple finally published a support document on how to use 
two different Apple IDs when you only have a single Apple device. Before 
that it was impossible to comply.

Hi BR,

when 2FA is enabled then you have to create at least one app specific password 
when you want to connect from a program to your Apple Account.
In your case the ApplicationLoader is such a program. What you have to to is 
the following:

1.Log in into your Apple Account
https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage 

2. under security you will see on the right side  a text something like 
"Application specific Password" and below of that text a link "Create Password" 
or similar expressions. I see just the German expressions, so i might be wrong 
with the English ones.

3. When clicking on that link you can create such a App Specific Password. This 
can be used for any app that connects to your account.


In my case i´ve created 2 of that passwords, one for programs that have access 
to my iCloud calendar and contacts. And the 2nd one is for my development 
tools, currently this is only the application loader.


Hope this helps.

OT: Apple Wants Application Specific Password

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Bottom line here: Does anyone know about Apple's new requirement for 
App-Specific Password in the application loader?

Long story:

If you are an Apple developer, then you gone through some more hoops lately.  
First it was getting 2-factor authentication on our enterprise/team developer 
account, which is a different email address/Apple ID that my personal one on 
own MacBook Pro.

According long support calls, it's not enough to have an apple ID on the web. 
You have to log out of iCloud as your personal ID, the long in as the team ID, 
then you have to wait 2-Days!.. then you can register a second device (I used 
text msg on my phone) two get 2-factor for the team ID through my MacBook Pro. 
So, far so good, on my mac,  Iog out of iCloud as the team  id and long back in 
as my personal ID. OK… after 4 day, I think I got it…

Log in the developer interface with the apple ID for the team, get get a text 
msg, use the code, tell Apple that he can trust this browser for 30 and 
yay/whew, I can update profiles and I am thinking "Ok I finally wire, after 6 
days I can finally post my app through the application loader!" I build the 
app.ipa with Jacque Airlaunch (Thank you Jacque!) and in the latest Xcode, 
attempt to load the app. Now it asked an application specific password!

It happens to Sat, so I can't call Apple til Monday, I called the yesterday. 
"oh, that a new requirement. Go the Apple ID of the team account… you see there 
the app-specific IDs? App an new label and copy the password. Keep it safe. Now 
reboot Xcode and see it you can enter it."

Well guess what. Application Loader has now field for loading an application 
specific password! The tech support young girl from Colorado, goes off one to 
"talk with my advisors". Ha!@  know has a clue what to do, exact that some new 
ruling about 3-party app development tools requiring app-specific password and 
you can only have 25 of them. The support team doesn't have a clue what I 
should to. They say they will get back to me…. I get an mail from someone is 
says he is taking of the case. He says

" As I understand an app-specific password is being requested when you are 
attempting to open binary in Xcode or Application Loader.

We are continuing to research your request and I will follow up with you as 
soon as we have additional information."

Now, 10 days away from when I was ready to upload my App.  I can't.

I am still in Apples Snake Pit. Just for a laugh I got an invitation to join 
WWDC19 Conference.  My advice would to stay away. I feel like a mouse slowly 
being enveloped by a Python. Now I know why many developers refuse to develop 
for iOS

Meanwhile I updated the Android app in just ½ hour it took me the re-familiar 
myself with Google straight forward procedures.

Re: LC 9 and Externals

Promised.

Heh - yes I perhaps should have taken the opportunity to mention that...

32-bit support on Mac is very very near being terminated (it would seem)
- whilst 32-bit apps
do still run in 10.14, they've made it virtually impossible to switch an
app
which has both slices to run in 32-bit mode, and (perhaps worse) almost
impossible
to switch an app which was previously marked to run in 32-bit mode back
to running
in 64-bit mode!

So - probably best to ensure that any apps which need to run on Mojave
and future
macOS versions are built and work in 64-bit mode.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

AW: WANTED: Codecs for DirectShow and LC9xx

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Have a look at LAVFilters. It's a free package with several codecs/filters.
There are a lot of download sites (watch out for realiable) and the original
at github.
I am using it for mp4 h.264 videos on windows, very reliable without any
issues yet.

Betreff: WANTED: Codecs for DirectShow and LC9xx

WANTED: Recommendations for free to distribute and use codec for use with
DirectShow and LiveCode 9xx under Windows.

I have found that the range of media formats DirectShow supports (out of the
box) in LiveCode 9xx (when compared to earlier LC versions and Quicktime for
Windows) to be staggeringly limited!

I love LiveCode, but cross-platform media playing is awful compared to say
around the time of LC7 or 6

So, I am seeking any recommendations of free to distribute and use codecs
for DirectShow/LiveCode 9xx under WIndows that expands the formats
DirectShow can handle.

Mothership (i.e. LiveCode, Ltd.) you should watch this thread and if there
are any, author and feature them in a prominent help article on your web
site OR even better, add them into the Dictionary!
