Re: Not quite OT: Privacy Policy
Even if Apple does read them you satisfied the reason for Apple to inform people on how your app is used. It is not an intent of Apple to force you to use a lawyer or require you to explain your app in legal mumbo jumbo. Most people would rather read your honest explanation than read the ones written by attorneys. JB > On May 9, 2020, at 8:38 PM, J.

Re: Not quite OT: Privacy Policy
I wrote a very short paragraph saying the app had no internet connection and no special permissions, that no data was ever sent, and that information was only stored locally on the user's device. I think it was only two or three sentences. I stuck it on my web site and it was fine. I kind of doubt Apple ever reads those. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On May 9, 2020 5:04:01 PM Graham Samuel via use-livecode wrote: I find that to publish an app on the Apple App Store, or even reach the TestFlight stage, I need a Privacy Policy.

Re: Recommended (simple) Linux distro for Livecode server home dev/test?
i would use Ubuntu server as there is much info about it on HowtoForge.com are very nice tutorials on how to setup Linux servers for several distributions of your choice. You can use these to set up a VPS, but also a Laptop or whatever to use as a server.

Ubuntu, without question. There many great distros, and I don't think there is a single "best". But Ubuntu has by far the largest installed base, so most of the tutorials and other support materials you'll find are written with Ubuntu in mind. This is especially true on servers. Heck, even on Microsoft's Azure cloud ecosystem. Ubuntu is the leading OS. Desktop: https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop Server: https://ubuntu.com/download/server You may change later; some folks like to distro-hop often. But the vast range of support materials makes Ubuntu the go-to starting point for getting into Linux. > Hardware specs would be useful, too - to gauge how far back on the > cupboard to reach to source an appropriate box! You can check the requirements at the site, but you probably don't need to worry about it. If it's for a sever you won't need the GUI desktop edition, and it's the desktop where requirements tend to be much higher. There's a flavor of Ubuntu for everything from Raspberry Pi to supercomputing clusters - you should have no trouble finding one for your old PCs. The Server edition should get you up and running on just about any machine made in the last 10 years or more. If you want a GUI desktop edition and have an old machine that's a bit underpowered for Ubuntu, there's a lightweight flavor you can use: https://lubuntu.net/ Lubuntu is the leanest Ubuntu flavor I've tried. It's been running on my desk almost continuously for the last decade, downloading, collating, and posting data for the info you see in LiveNet (see the GoLiveNet plugin in LC's Plugins menu). I prefer Ubuntu's Gnome Shell for my main workstation, but on lower-powered machines I've been impressed with how efficiently Lubuntu runs. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Small and strange problem
I’m using LC 9.6.0 dp4 and 9.5.1 - this issue is seen in both versions. I have a script with a very simple statement: put (tMins/60) into tMins tMins contains a number, and as expected I get a numeric result, for example if tMins is 31, I get 0.516667 but ONLY when I step through the script in the IDE. If I let the script run, the IDE reports an error: > Execution error (operators /: error in left operand, char 1 Either there’s an error or there isn’t. What can be wrong? I suppose as usual it’s me, but I am foxed.
