Re: "Unknown error." in LC when trying to test to connected ios device

[scott--- via use-livecode]

As  J. Landman Gay once pointed out, sometimes it comes down to figuring out 
what color chicken to sacrifice. The other day I encountered something similar 
to what you are describing that was a new one for me. (I don’t recall the exact 
issue because I encountered several and they are mixed up in my mind now.) But 
one error was actually the result of checking the "build for iOS” button but 
forgetting to uncheck the “build for Android” button. I was surprised that LC 
couldn’t figure that out based on the target device but, unchecking “build for 
Android” solved it. Hoping you find that it is something simple and not the 
chicken thing.

Yes, works fine now here as well, and looks to be quite an impressive musical 
accomplishment. 

Best of luck with it.

"Unknown error." in LC when trying to test to connected ios device

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

Mac OS 11.5.2
LC 9.6.2
XCode 12.1
I choose a device from the Development->Test Target menu, then select
Development->Test
We get as far as the app getting signed, and then the error is thrown.
I'm pretty sure the certs and profiles are current, since I manually
removed them and then used XC to reinstall them.
Suggestions?

Re: M1 Mac possible problem

[Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode]

Thanks Henk.

The problem that I could finally reproduce was a sub stack (that is “in use”) 
not receiving the openStack message when it was opened. This caused the 
program's initialization script to pause. So I replaced the openStack handler 
in the sub stack with that would receive a sent message, then things proceeded 
properly.

A timing issue for some computers? Some users were experiencing the anomaly and 
others not.

 I’m seeing that the issue is probably not processor related. Bernard on an 
 M1 didn’t have trouble. Matthias on Intel did, as well as Mark who didn’t 
 specify what he had—but the bad results do mirror exactly what the Chinese 
 user was seeing on her M1.
 
 The final card that becomes unresponsive is because of a semi-opaque 
 overlay that’s a setup for a license activation group to show on top. At 
 that point the program is trying to read a local file that contains the 
 current license info—if the local license file doesn’t exist (new user), 
 it will load the license group with a field to enter a key, or the user 
 can choose to continue with the free limited version. The script is 
 seeming to stop around that point.
 
 I’ve been trying to make the problem show for me, including what Matthias 
 suggested—running it from the installer which does seem to work normally. 
 I also tried deleting the pref file containing language and location 
 choices that was written at the opening, in hopes of narrowing it down to 
 an inability to write or read a file from the pref folder in the library. 
 Deleting the pref file caused a script error that shows the standard LC 
 error dialog added by the installer, so it’s not that.
 
 So apparently something in my script is failing to complete for some 
 users. This was built with LC 9.6.1. I’ll work on it more…

You want Brian Milby's ScriptTracker plugin. It does exactly that.

RE: export a stack and recreate it it by script

[Douglas A. Ruisaard via use-livecode]

You might also check out "Script Reporter".. which should be available
somewhere on the LC site.  It's a GREAT program which reads entire stacks
(one at a time, mind you) and allows a cut & paste of the code into a simple
text file.  Like Ben's suggestion, I use it extensively for version
differences.  You can also simply paste the output (one card at a time) back
into the LC editor and you've got a newly generated project.

If Ben's option offers a multiple card-at-a-time solution, THAT would be
superior to Script Reported in this context, but it's still is another
option.

Re: export a stack and recreate it it by script

[Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode]

Hi Malte,

I have one (not used for many a year) that exports to XML including scripts, 
properties, contents etc. I used it to diff - never wrote an importer for it. 
But if you don't find what you need elsewhere, this might do half the job. Let 
me know if you want it.

 Is it possible by any change that your user is running the app from
