Any data can be replaced with porn or other contraband.

Any app can transform itself at a later date into something other than 
what was reviewed.


Neither can be prevented.

Both are remedied with banning.

This is not unique to LiveCode; it applies to all apps.

So don't do that, in any language.

I've seen no restrictions on specific binary formats. Stack files, 
spreadsheets, interactive books -- all variants of the same thing.

For all practical purposes we do:

The Shockwave plugin was an executable engine you could download and 
install once, and then play a wide range of scripted interactive media 
with it.


A LiveCode standalone is an executable engine you can download and 
install once, and then play a wide range of scripted interactive media 
with it.


The differences are that Shockwave was confined to the limitations of a 
browser window. And that it no longer exists.


LiveCode lives outside the confines of a browser window, allowing full 
desktop integration (cache control, document associations, etc.). And 
LiveCode exists. :)

Pick me! I know this one!

An app to bundled content means that they can review everything that is going 
to get displayed to a user and approve or deny based upon the content they 
review.

An app to web content is a mystery app. Your restaurant review app that pulls 
from the web could easily be transformed into a pedophile shopping app by 
entering a secret pass phrase and then changing the data on the web site. (as 
an extreme example)

Hmmm…. I see:
"Add WebAssembly build target in HTML5 deployment”, in the"team is working on 
right now” category. I guess, given all the delays and getting HTML5 up, I 
won’t hold my breath. But, I’ll certainly be watching for it. Gaads, another 
subscription to purchase. But getting real livecode dynamic features on the web 
would be a game-changer for me.

RE: In-app purchasing

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

Yes it works. I've done it on both platforms. The tutorial in the LC lesions
pretty much says it all. 

1) Name your in-app purchase products exactly the same on both platforms.
Make them all lowercase. One of them does not allow uppercase(forgot which)
and of course I used the upper on the one that allowed it first. The LC
calls to purchase commands are case sensitive.

2) It's an async environment. So you have to set up a wait loop while
watching the progress of the mobileStoreMakePurchase using some global var
or property. This starts the ball rolling and then messages from the store
are sent to "purchaseStateUpdate pPurchaseID, pProductID, pState" depending
on pState you either bail from a user's cancel or bad user credentials... or
confirm the purchase. When a final type of pstate is received then bail out
of the loop and let the user know the final status of the purchase attempt.

purchaseStateUpdate is just switch on pState with these cases
"SendingRequest, paymentReceived, alreadyEntitled, invalidSKU, complete,
restored, cancelled, error).

3) Setup your sandbox environment on both platforms. Apple is pretty
straight forward except you can never change a tester password, so if you
forget the password your done and have to make another tester username.
 Android does not allow a device using your PlayStore developer
Gmail account to make sandbox purchases. The device can never have been
logged into that account. I found the android sandbox device registration a
little wonky sometimes, but it will work.

On iOS You can also monitor the purchases/in-app purchase activities real
time via a web api that you create and host on your server. The format is
straight forward so LC server is your friend here. Then save the purchase
data in a DB. The PlayStore has an API that you can get purchase information
to load into a DB.

If you run into any snags give me a shout.

Hi David

I have attached a manual for VideoLinkwell.  It walks through the different 
features that the app has.  
It is for an older version (3.2) but mostly applicable. I haven’t had time to 
update it yet.


I have also attached the most recent Mac version of Videolinkwell - 3.5.2.  If 
you need the windows version I can send it soon.  It is done but I am having 
trouble with code signing it.  I got it to work for the earlier versions but 
won’t work now.   Not sure what I am doing differently now than before.

To try out the software you can start a trial on videolinkwell.com to get your 
login credentials then you will use those credentials to log into the 
VideoLinkwell software.

If you want we can do a Zoom session and I could do a demo for you.

xAPI in LiveCode (was Cmi5 eLearning Standard in LiveCode)

[Brian K. Duck via use-livecode]

Hello,

I wanted to get this sent before the list digest was sent today.

After the first week of discussions, I’m realizing that CMI5, which is a 
standard profile (subset) of xAPI is too narrow of a topic, so we’re broadening 
to include xAPI in LiveCode. Other profiles include video content, eBooks, etc.

Initially, we discussed the value of xAPI, references at ADLnet.gov 
 and XAPI.com  , how a LiveCode project 
might be architected for reuse by multiple teams, and we researched open or 
trial Learning Management Systems LMS and Learning Record Stores LRS.

Also, I mentioned the Team-MakeyMakey, this was our first effort to build a 
LiveCode app for sending xAPI statements. This is known as a learning record 
provider or LRP, this was the initial effort for the Spring 2020 cohort and our 
notes, project videos and source code is up in GitHub.

The Wiki has project notes, and links to the video updates provided through the 
12 week xAPI Cohort:

https://github.com/xapicohort/MakeyMakey 


The next xAPI Cohort begins Feb 4th, it is FREE to register and attend, so sign 
up at xAPICohort.com

Please take the time to sign in to When2Meet at this URL, and let us know when 
you are available for week #2 of xAPI in LiveCode:
xAPI in LiveCode (Week 2)

Re: Swipe gesture script on datagrid

[Mark Smith via use-livecode]

Or “RowRightSwipeControlClicked” in your case. It depends on how you invoke the 
action control.

Re: Swipe gesture script on datagrid

Yes, that’s how it’s done. And then in your row behavior script respond to
on EditModeActionControlClicked pTarget

with pTarget containing the short name of your action control button.

Re: background images

[Jim At Consensus via use-livecode]

I usually use the preOpenCard approach with background images but have 
occasionally wanted to have a set of images on individual cards that do not 
change dynamically over time. In that case I’ve used an image that was NOT part 
of the background group. To create a new card (with a new image), I use “clone 
card” rather than new card. The image is created on the new card but is an 
individual image. I assign it a new file name and it doesn’t affect anything 
else. 

The best approach really depends on you use case.
Not sure which is more efficient. Storing images separately and loading on 
preOpenCard or having them preloaded on individual cards would guess the 
former if the stack starts with only a few images.

Thanks.

I add this script in each button of the «right swipe » template : 

on mouseup
   set the idBtn of grp « data grid » to the long id of me
   pass mouseup
end mouseup

And in the behavior script of the grp « data grid » :

on RowRightSwipeControlClicked pTarget
// just to verify if it’s work
put ptarget & cr &  the idBtn of grp « data grid » into msg
end RowRightSwipeControlClicked

And it seem to work !

Hi Andre, how are “apps to bundled content” different from “apps that are 
portals to web content" (Jacque’s description)? Or put another way, if someone 
wanted to design a tourist app that highlighted interesting local tourist 
destinations near them with a link you can click on to purchase tickets or book 
reservations etc, would that violate Apple’s guidelines? Asking for a friend :)

Roger that, Andre. Apple's emphasis has to do with the user experience, 
rather than the technical means by which that experience is derived.


What they want to avoid is an app that could just as easily have been a 
web site.  It's one of the few areas in which Apple (or any of the Big 
Five) support the Open Web.


Indeed, even in their most draconian moment, the 
infamous-and-ultimately-backpedaled debacle with iOS SDK v4,0 Section 
3.3.1 mess of 2010, they explicitly blessed JavaScript frameworks as a 
tech stack for deploying native iOS apps.


In this case here, I believe Bill was looking to bypass self-appointed 
gatekeepers altogether, using "web app" to refer to the Open Web, beyond 
the control of FAANG.

Re: Considering work with livecode server

[Andre Garzia via use-livecode]

Bill,

Let me second what Richard said, you'd be better served by building desktop
stack apps than by building web apps. There is no silver bullet for doing
web work, there is no magical technology that makes it as easy as LC. The
Web is a design by committee with various multi-billion companies doing
power plays around it. To be effective on the web, you need to learn HTML,
CSS, and JS. You don't need to be an expert, but you need to learn up to
some intermediate level to do the kind of interactions you are talking
about. The web has quirks and some anachronisms in it but that is because
it can't afford to break compatibility with itself. A website from 1995
needs to be just as valid to the browser as one from 2021. What this means
is that there are still people programming the web as if it still is 1995,
so the quality of material you find online varies a lot. I'm happy that I
know it well but when I need some app on my day to day work, I will more
often turn to LC than building a web solution.

You can build richer experiences more easily by using LC and shipping a
loader standalone than by using LC server without knowing JS.

Kind regards
a
