Re: error building iOS standalone with LiveCode 8.1

2016-09-20 Thread Chris Sheffield

The crash is consistent, yes, even after applying the second workaround. Like I 
said, it appears to be happening during the file copy process, before the code 
signing even takes place.

If it would be helpful, I can upload another archive to my dropbox that 
includes those audio files. I didn’t include them before because it makes 
everything so huge. But I’m happy to do that if you’d like. As an alternative, 
is there a crash report somewhere that I can look at and/or send you that might 
be helpful?

Another thought I had, as another possible work around, was to build the app 
without all those audio files, then copy them into the app bundle after it’s 
built, then re-sign the app. But I’m not having much luck doing that either… 
After the re-signing process I get errors when trying to install on a device, 
about entitlements not being valid and/or the app itself cannot be verified.

Thanks,
Chris

That did the trick on the error, however, now LC is crashing when I try to 
create a build and include all the files in the app. In addition to my images 
folder, which contains quite a few png images, I also have a folder that 
contains *a lot* of mp3 files (to be exact, 8624 of them). Somewhere during the

Re: error building iOS standalone with LiveCode 8.1

2016-09-19 Thread Chris Sheffield

It appears to be just this stack. After creating a new stack, and even setting 
it to copy the same files, the build works just fine.

Yes, I do have png files, quite a lot of them, inside an images folder that is 
included in the Copy Files section. Like I said though, I included that folder 
even with the new stack, and everything worked fine. This particular app also 
makes use of a few mergExt externals. I have updated those to the latest 
versions included with LC 8.1. Again, even including all of those in the new 
simple stack I created, everything builds fine.

So I will plan on sending you my stack. Do you need all the included files, or 
just the stack itself? I just tried removing all my Copy Files entries, and the 
build still fails, so I don’t think it’s related to any of those, but I’m happy 
to include them in a zip archive if you’d like.

Thanks again.

2016-09-19 Thread Chris Sheffield

Panos,

I greatly appreciate the quick reply. Unfortunately that fix didn’t work for 
me. I even dug in a little deeper and applied Monte’s other changes as well, 
and my build still fails. The —resource-rules error is gone, but I am still 
left with the second part of the error about the "resource fork, Finder 
information, or similar detritus not allowed”. That is with the line:

get shell("xattr -cr" && quote & pAppBundle & quote)

added just before the code signing occurs.

This is running macOS Sierra (GM), LiveCode 8.1, and Xcode 7.3.1.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

error building iOS standalone with LiveCode 8.1

2016-09-19 Thread Chris Sheffield

I’m hoping someone can help with this.

I just fired up LiveCode 8.1 this morning to create a new app build for a 
landscape app that has the “cropped” issue in iOS 10. I am getting an error at 
the point that the app gets signed:

codesigning failed with Warning: —resource-rules has been deprecated in Max OS 
X >= 10.10!
[path to my app]: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not 
allowed

I did a little digging and it sounds like, in an Xcode project at least, it’s 
simply a matter of removing the path to the ResourceRules.plist file in the 
project settings. I went and tried doing what I thought would be the equivalent 
in LiveCode and I commented out the lines pertaining to this file in the 
Settings.plist file, but that didn’t do the trick.

Has anyone run into this one? I really need to get this figured out asap. Even 
if it can be solved with a temporary workaround, that’d be great.

Thanks,
Chris

browser widget vs. native browser control (iOS)

2016-05-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Hi folks,

It’s been a while since I’ve done some work in LiveCode, so I’m kind of diving 
into LC 8 and trying to figure out the widgets, which look like an awesome 
feature.

We (Read Naturally) have a possible need to “wrap” a web app in a browser 
control in a native iOS app. We need to get around an issue that occurs in the 
Safari app where media (audio/video) will not play automatically and require 
some kind of user action. There is a property (mediaPlaybackRequiresUserAction) 
that can be set on a UIWebView instance in an iOS app. Setting this to NO will 
allow auto playback.

My question is, does the new browser widget use a UIWebView on iOS? I’m 
assuming it does (not sure what else it would use), but I want to make sure. If 
so, is there a way to get a handle to that control (the handle that is normally 
returned by mobileControlCreate)? I would love to use the widget if possible, 
as it would require the least amount of code, obviously. But I need that handle 
to the browser control so I can set the property. If it’s not possible, I’ll go 
ahead and code it using mobileControlCreate, which should work just fine. It’ll 
just take a little longer. Or is it possible to simply set that as a property 
of the browser widget somehow?

Thanks for the help,

Chris Sheffield

Re: Monitoring stdout on iOS simulator

2015-09-21 Thread Chris Sheffield

Hi Jacque,

Xcode now has a “console” built into it, that I’m pretty sure still works with 
LiveCodes “put” command. With your device plugged in, fire up a recent version 
of Xcode, select the device in the Devices window, then click the little 
triangle icon to the right of the Filter field. That should show you the output 
from the device.

Good luck!

Re: How to minimize delay when playing an audio clip

2015-08-17 Thread Chris Sheffield

Another trick that I’ve used in the past (when using players; I’ve haven’t used 
imported audio clips much) is to play a very short, silent audio file at some 
point in a preOpenCard or openCard handler. This kind of gets the audio ball 
rolling so to speak, then when I need to play my actual audio, there is no 
delay. Whatever needs to load in the background in order for audio playback has 
already loaded. A bit of a hack I suppose, but it works. :-)

 I don't think i'm having issues with a bound cpu, I think 'play audioclip

 Also, a quick question..  I assume there is no way to modify the tone of a

Re: Release 6.7.7 RC 2

2015-08-11 Thread Chris Sheffield

There seems to be an issue with visual effects in iOS in this build, 
specifically with the push left/right effects and navigating between cards. 
There’s a flash that occurs after the animation finishes, where you very 
briefly see the card you just came from. This does not happen with LC 6.7.6. 
I’ll file a bug report, but thought I’d mention it here to see if anyone else 
has noticed.

Thanks,

revZip and 64-bit iOS

2015-07-22 Thread Chris Sheffield

I’m running into a problem, and wondering if others are/have as well.

I have an iPad app that extracts some media files from a zip archive upon first 
launching. This works great on an  iPad Mini 1, but fails with the error “not a 
zip archive” on an iPad Air 1. I’m running the same exact build with the same 
exact zip file on both machines. So it’s either a retina device only problem, 
or it’s a 64-bit problem. Not sure which, but I’m guessing the latter.

I created the latest build of the app with LC 6.7.7 rc-1, but the same issue 
has occurred since LC 6.7.5.

Anyone else using revZip at all? Does it work for you with these versions of LC 
when running an app on a 64-bit compatible device?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: iOS Playing Sounds Problems

2015-06-29 Thread Chris Sheffield

When I have sounds that play in the simulator but not on the device, I’ve found 
it’s almost always because I’ve not taken into account the case sensitivity of 
iOS. OS X as I’m sure you know, by default, is not case sensitive, so if your 
file is “Blue.wav”, you can still have “blue.wav” in your code and it’ll play 
just fine. But that’s not so with iOS.

So double check all your file and folder names first, and make sure everything 
matches up in your code. :-)

  mobilePlaySoundOnChannel gBlueSound, Ch5,”now
 
 
 I’m using newly recorded sounds and sounds from from previous projects. The

 I’ve also tried playing the sound with this format:play 
 specialFolderPath(engine) / Blue.wav” 
 
 But, the 10 new sounds I’ve recoded play on the simulator, but not on a 
 device… while the “old” sounds I’ve used before work on both.
 
 As best I can tell the sounds are all the same …. 16 bits with a sample rate 
 of 44,100. I’m using .wav files but also tried .aif format.  
 
 LC 6.7.5 • Mac OS 10.2 • Xcode 6.2
 
 Any thoughts about how I might have messed up the new sounds.
 
 Thanks for your help.

 sensitive, so if your file is “Blue.wav”, you can still have “blue.wav” in 
 your code and it’ll play just fine. But that’s not so with iOS.
 
 So double check all your file and folder names first, and make sure 
 everything matches up in your code. :-)

 Hi All,
 
 I’ve been messing with a sound problem for several hours this morning… 
 can’t for the life of me see what I’m doing wrong.
 
 I have an app in which I’m using this format for loading the sounds:
   put specialFolderPath(engine) / Blue.wav into gBlueSound
   mobileSetSoundChannelVolume Ch5,0
   mobilePlaySoundOnChannel gBlueSound, Ch5,”now
 
 
 I’m using newly recorded sounds and sounds from from previous projects. 
 The sounds from previous projects work just fine with this pattern… when 
 it’s time to play I call:
   mobileSetSoundChannelVolume Ch5”,100
   mobilePlaySoundOnChannel gBlueSound, Ch5,”now
 
 I’ve also tried playing the sound with this format:play 
 specialFolderPath(engine) / Blue.wav” 
 
 But, the 10 new sounds I’ve recoded play on the simulator, but not on a 
 device… while the “old” sounds I’ve used before work on both.
 
 As best I can tell the sounds are all the same …. 16 bits with a sample 
 rate of 44,100. I’m using .wav files but also tried .aif format.   
 
 LC 6.7.5 • Mac OS 10.2 • Xcode 6.2
 
 Any thoughts about how I might have messed up the new sounds.
 
 Thanks for your help.
 
 
 be well,
 randy

Re: Release 6.7.5 RC 1 / 7.0.5 RC 1

2015-04-30 Thread Chris Sheffield

I want to try out the new font mapping feature for iOS, but I’m a little 
confused. Wondering if someone has played with it yet and can offer a few 
pointers, or maybe someone from LiveCode can, if no one else does. :-)

First, how do we determine the PostScript names of fonts? The Release Notes say 
to reference Font Book, but I’m not sure that always shows PostScript names. 
For example, in one app I have a field that uses the font Helvetica Neue 
Condensed Bold. This is the name exactly as it appears in Font Book. However, 
in my stack, the font name is specified as “HelveticaNeue-CondensedBold”, and 
this works on the device. So which one is the PostScript name? And which one 
should I specify in the property inspector and the name of the font? Maybe what 
would make this easier is if we could see a sample font map file.

Second, in the font mapping file, should the font names be enclosed in quotes?

Third, is the font mapping case sensitive? I’m assuming so, since iOS is case 
sensitive, but want to make sure. So in my font map file, would I need to use 
Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold” vs. “helvetica neue condensed bold”, or would 
either one work fine?

Thanks,
Chris

 Dear List Members,
 
 We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 6.7.5 RC 1 and 7.0.5 RC 1. 
 This release is a maintenance release which contains bug fixes for both 
 versions. The list of bugs fixed can be found in the Release Notes.
 
 * iOS Font Map *
 As some of you may have experienced, the font loading is affected by a 
 dramatic slowdown from iOS 8.1. That comes from iOS 8.1 itself, which cannot 
 handle font loading efficiently unless the exact PostScript name of the font 
 is used. To help with this, we introduced a font mapping system in the iOS 
 Standalone Settings (see the Release Notes for further information).
 
 * specialFolderPath of resources *
 A new specialFolderPath has been added for the Resources, which matches the 
 location of the files copied along the standalone engine for standalones, or 
 the location of the defaultstack, in the IDE. This comes in response to the 
 bug 14295 (more information is available in the docs and the Release Notes).
 
 * Xcode 6.3 and iOS 8.3 *
 Xcode 6.3 is now selectable, and required for saving a stack as an iOS 
 standalone application on Yosemite.
 Since Xcode 6.3 cannot be installed on Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks), Xcode 6.2 and 
 iOS Simulator 8.2 are still supported; and will be as long as the AppStore 
 will accept apps created with iOS SDK 8.2.
 
 *Getting the Release*
 To get the release please select check for updates from the help menu in 
 the product or download the installer directly at: 
 http://downloads.livecode.com
 
 *6.7.5 RC 2 / 7.0.5 RC 2  *
 The following RC release is planned to happen next week.
 
 Warm regards,
 
 The LiveCode Team

Thank you for the explanation. Very helpful. I’m trying it out now. :)

 You can find out the PostScript name of the font by using Font Book as 
 mentioned...
 
 1) Open up Font Book
 2) Go to menu Preview  Show Font Info
 3) Choose the font you want to inspect and the right hand pane will list the 
 PostScript name at the top
 
 Second, in the font mapping file, should the font names be enclosed in 
 quotes?
 
 No. The form is:
 
 LiveCode Name=PostScript Name
 
 e.g.
 
 Abadi MT Condensed Extra Bold=AbadiMT-CondensedExtraBold
 
 There is a complete fontmap file containing all fonts included in iOS 8 used 
 by default when you build an iOS standalone. You can find this by opening up 
 the LiveCode.app package and looking in:
  Contents  Tools  Runtime  Device-8_3
 
 Third, is the font mapping case sensitive? I’m assuming so, since iOS
 is case sensitive, but want to make sure. So in my font map file,
 would I need to use Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold” vs. “helvetica
 neue condensed bold”, or would either one work fine?
 
 The LiveCode Name is case-insensitive, the PostScript name is case-sensitive. 
 (CoreText is case-sensitive, but LiveCode isn't).
 
 Warmest Regards,
 
 Mark.

Re: New Way To Deal With Custom Fonts on iOS?

2015-04-14 Thread Chris Sheffield

Scott,

Could this possibly be related to this issue bug 14116 
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14116?

Mark W. stated in a comment there that the screen loading times may have 
something to do with a change in the way that fonts were handled between LC 6.6 
and LC 6.7. I wonder if the issue you described is related somehow. Maybe it’s 
also caused by this change to using CoreText in iOS. Specifically, see his 
comment from February 27.

Chris

 Hi All:
 
 I just spent two hours with a colleague trying to track down why a custom
 font wasn't rendering correctly on iOS, and apparently it seems that
 something changed with either the way LiveCode 7 or iOS 8 handles font
 names.
 
 It used to be that grabbing the installed name of a font on iOS was all
 that was needed to get a custom font to work, but now it seems one has to
 manually combine the font name and any desired style/s into a string
 separated by a dash:
 
 Installed name = American Typewriter Condensed Bold
 becomes --- AmericanTypewriter-CondensedBold
 
 I know about the fontStyles function, but that only appears to return
 available styles for font, it doesn't return a properly formatted fontName.
 
 Looking up font related terms/issues in the docs, forums, and mail list I
 haven't seen any reference to this anywhere.  Is this documented, and even
 more importantly, is there a function or script to automate this so we
 don't have to maintain a stored list of styles and compare/replace words
 in the font name?
 
 I'm also worried about what caused this change: is this a LiveCode change
 or an iOS change?  An iOS change would seem to mean that we need to code
 around the system version to handle older versions of iOS.
 
 Thanks for any info/advice here.

iOS splash screen and app load times

2015-03-27 Thread Chris Sheffield

The splash screen and load times of iOS apps when building an app with LC 6.7+ 
are *super* slow. Any build created with LC 6.6.5 is not. We’re working on app 
updates to two apps in order to add 64-bit support, so obviously we need to use 
the newer version of LC. But these load times are getting out of hand. I just 
had a tester report that for one of our apps, the splash screen displays for a 
full 28 seconds, at which point we have a “loading” indicator that displays 
while the first card is set up, and then another almost a full minute for the 
first main card to appear. In the same app, built with LC 6.6.5, it takes a 
fraction of that time. Probably only a couple seconds for the splash screen and 
maybe 3 or 4 seconds with the loading indicator. So what gives? This tester is 
running the app on an iPad 3. We’ve always struggled a bit with the iPad 3 
(something to do with the hardware itself if I remember correctly), but we’ve 
never had speeds quite that slow. Not even close to that slow. There’s no way 
we can release this app this way. Something definitely changed between LC 6.6.5 
and LC 6.7.

This issue really needs to be fixed, and asap in my opinion. It’s been reported 
here on the list before. I don’t remember by whom. Does anyone know if a bug 
ticket has actually been created for it? If not, I’ll create one.

Thanks,
Chris

Okay, probably should have looked before I posted. :-)

I found this ticket (if anyone else is interested) 
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14116. According to Mark W it may be 
due to a font issue. However, someone tried Mark’s suggestion regarding fonts 
and it didn’t seem to make much difference. I will probably give it a go and 
provide my feedback on the ticket.

Re: Oops... I've made a mistake..:-(

2015-03-17 Thread Chris Sheffield

John,

You can download Xcode 6.2 in order to be able to install your apps onto your 
devices. LiveCode does not support using Xcode 6.2 for development/building 
quite yet, but I’m sure it will soon. So just continue to keep Xcode 6.1 around 
for that purpose for now. Only fire up Xcode 6.2 when you want to actually 
install your apps.

Just a note. If you’ve installed Xcode through the Mac App Store, you can 
update that copy to 6.2, then just go into Apple’s Dev Center, log in, find the 
“Additional Downloads” link (I don’t recall the exact name of it), and download 
a copy of Xcode 6.1. Or do the opposite. Don’t update your Mac App Store copy, 
and instead go and manually download and install Xcode 6.2.

Hopefully that makes sense. :-)

Chris

Correct.

You should still be able to use Xcode 6.2 to install your apps on your devices 
running iOS 8.2, though, even though you’re using Xcode 6.1.1 to build with. 
Just fire up Xcode 6.2 after building your app, open up Window - Devices, and 
install your app from there.

You can also use Monte’s mergTestApp if you have that. It will continue to 
install apps (straight from LiveCode) on devices running a newer version of 
iOS. Works great. Build and install with one click. :-)

Re: 64-bit

2015-03-12 Thread Chris Sheffield

Alain,

Currently an app built with 64-bit support *does not* install/run on an iPad 1. 
I’ve been dealing with this myself. It’s not anything specific to LiveCode, 
however. For example, apps built with Xcode have the same issue. I don’t know 
if there’s a way to “force” it to work, or not. I haven’t discovered one.

There is already a ticket submitted for the issue here 
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14794. I don’t know if it’s possible 
to build one standalone for all devices still or not (this would be ideal), as 
it seems to be something with the Xcode tools themselves. At the very least, I 
asked for an option in the standalone settings to build for 32-bit only, thus 
allowing us to continue testing on the iPad 1.

It is my understanding that this is only an issue with testing apps. When an 
app is submitted to the app store, it will still be able to be installed on an 
iPad 1, even though it’s built with 64-bit support. Apple supposedly does 
something on their end to make this possible.

Hopefully this helps a bit.

Chris

 Dear list members,
 
 *** Warning: this is an alpha release ***
 
 We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 8.0 DP 1. This release 
 brings a number of new features to the LiveCode platform:
 
 - A new language (LiveCode Builder) for extending LiveCode with new widgets 
 and engine-level commands and functions
 - IDE improvements, with a re-written property inspector and project browser 
 and a new dictionary
 - An “extension builder” IDE plugin for testing and packaging widgets and 
 libraries
 - The LiveCode Extension Store, for sharing community extensions
 
 This is a developer preview release and should be used with caution. As 
 always, please backup your stacks.
 
 Known issues with 8.0 DP 1:
 
 - The new property inspector lacks some properties present in the old 
 property inspector
 - The extension store pane of the extensions manager does not always load
 - The supplied widgets are examples and lack features and general robustness
 - The extension builder plugin “Test” feature fails if the widget being 
 tested is already installed - uninstalling the widget and restarting the IDE 
 should help
 - Widget icons do not appear in Android and iOS standalones as the 
 appropriate resources are not included in the standalone
 - All installed widgets are built into any standalones produced
 
 LiveCode 8 is in an early stage of development so we’d love to hear any 
 feedback you have on it. There are a number of features that we’d like to 
 implement but aren’t ready yet  and the existing features are subject to 
 change during development - we can’t guarantee that extensions written in DP1 
 will continue to work in later versions.
 
 Please report any bugs encountered on our Bugzilla at

Re: XCode 6.2 Building For iOS

2015-03-10 Thread Chris Sheffield

Usually when there’s a new release of Xcode that adds something major to the 
iOS SDK (Apple Watch support in this case), it requires a LiveCode update in 
order to work properly.

Really about all we can do is stick with Xcode 6.1.1 for now. I’m sure the team 
will have a new update out with Xcode 6.2 support asap.

 They use the same file format. What doesn't work?

Ralph,

I think I got it to work. I created an app build using an App Store
distribution profile, not Ad Hoc, as Colin suggested. I also added the
following to my StoreEntitlements file:

keybeta-reports-active/key
true/

This should go right before the closing /dict tag, if you’re just using a
text editor. I would recommend creating a copy of that file before modifying
it, just in case. After creating a build and uploading it, I no longer see
the beta entitlement warning, and I can turn on beta testing for that build.
Pretty cool. :)

So it seems as though RunRev simply need to add this to the entitlements file
in a future release of LiveCode. That should fix the issue for everyone going
forward.

This is supposed to include the Beta entitlement. I refreshed Xcode and the

On iTunes connect I see the dreaded To use TestFlight Beta Testing, build
1.326.1 must contain the correct beta entitlement. For more information, see
the FAQ.

The FAQ states To use the TestFlight app to test your prerelease build, it
must be signed with an App Store Distribution Provisioning profile that
includes the beta entitlement. New Distribution Provisioning profiles
generated in the iOS Developer Center will automatically contain the beta
entitlement.
If you have an existing Distribution Provisioning Profile that was generated
before the launch of TestFlight Beta Testing, you must regenerate the
profile.

Do I also have to add the
Entitlements![CDATA[keyget-task-allow/keyfalse/keybeta-reports-active/keytrue/]]/Entitlements
key to StoreEntitlements.xcent or Entitlements.xcent or both? Is there a

Re: RELEASE 6.7.3 / 7.0.3

2015-02-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Actually, in this case it turned out to be related to the mergExt externals 
(sorry, Monte). An error occurs when building the app *only* if these externals 
are included (this is LC 6.7.3 and 7.0.3 only; LC 6.7.2 builds just fine). So 
I’m not sure if there is an actual bug in LC or if there’s a problem with the 
externals or what. I just submitted a new report with a sample stack. We’ll see 
what they say.

Re: RELEASE 6.7.3 / 7.0.3

Ben,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I get the following error when trying 
to build an iOS standalone with 6.7.3:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23640711/iOS_build_error.png 
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/23640711/iOS_build_error.png

I was anxious to try 6.7.3 because of an issue I was having where apps built 
with 6.7.2 would not run on an iPad 1. Now I’m getting this issue, which does 
not occur with 6.7.2. Same app, same build settings.

I will go ahead and file a bug report. Anyone else having this problem?

Chris

iOS 64-bit support and 1st Gen iPad

2015-02-19 Thread Chris Sheffield

Got a question I’m hoping someone can answer. I’ve done some research, but 
can’t find what I’m looking for.

With LC 6.7.2, we gained 64-bit support for iOS apps. It seems to include 
32-bit support as well, since I can install and run an app on my 1st Gen iPad 
mini running iOS 8.1.3. However, we are also in need of still supporting the 
1st Gen iPad (if at all possible), running iOS 5.1.1. I can’t seem to get my 
app to install on that device, no matter what I try (Xcode, iTunes, TestFlight, 
other testing service, etc.). From Xcode, I get a message that apps that 
include 64-bit architecture cannot be installed with Xcode on devices running 
anything older than iOS 6.0. But the message also suggests that installing on a 
1st Gen iPad will still be supported through the App Store, although it’s a 
little vague. But if that’s the case, how in the world do we test our apps 
before going live with them!?

So, is anyone out there still trying to support the iPad 1? If so, have you 
been able to get an app installed after building it with LC 6.7.2? *Should* 
this work? Is there perhaps a bug of some kind in LC? Just trying to figure out 
what’s going on exactly. If we have to, we can probably drop iPad 1 support, 
since users would still be able to download the older version of the app 
through the app store, but that means no more updates for that device…

Thanks,
Chris

Ralph,

At this point your guess is as good as mine. I’m not totally sure how to make 
it work. Haven’t had a chance to try it yet. If someone from RunRev happens to 
see this and wants to chime in, that would be great. I am planning on filing a

I do know that you wouldn’t do it exactly like this, however. As Colin stated, 
this is how it’s done for Adobe AIR. You wouldn’t use a CDATA block for 
LiveCode, for example.

I’ve got some time today. I’ll play around with it a bit and see what I can 
figure out. I’ll let you know.

Interesting you used the App Store profile. I didn’t think that worked, so I’ve 
used an Ad Hoc profile when I’ve tried it. I thought an app store distribution 
profile was strictly for that, the App Store. So your testers can download the 
build just fine? No problems installing and running on devices?

semi-OT: TestFlight.com beta testing closing

2015-01-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Just thought I’d throw this out there. Sounds like Apple is killing the 
TestFlight.com http://testflight.com/ beta testing site in favor of their 
newer TestFlight service.  
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/01/26/apple-closing-old-beta-testing-test-flight/
 
http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/01/26/apple-closing-old-beta-testing-test-flight/

Kind of cruddy, imo. Especially because Apple’s new version of the service only 
supports devices running iOS 8+, which means no more testing apps on older 
devices, or even on newer devices running older versions of iOS. Their 
TestFlight app won’t even install unless iOS 8 is installed on the device. In 
the education market, we need to be able to test different configurations. I 
was kind of hoping they would leave this service running a bit longer. We may 
have to look for something else.

Does anyone know of other beta testing services that work similar to TestFlight?

Also, the last time I checked into using TestFlight in iTunes Connect, I could 
not get a LiveCode-built app to work correctly. I kept getting a warning about 
missing entitlements. Does anyone know if this is fixed yet? I haven’t tried it 
recently.

Thanks,
Chris

plugin stack automatically saving in new file format

2014-12-18 Thread Chris Sheffield

I have a custom plugin stack that I use to quickly open frequently used stacks. 
It has a “save this stack” command in its closeStack handler. If I’m working in 
LC 7.0+ the stack is saving with the new file format, and therefore won’t open 
in pre-7.0 versions of LiveCode. I though once a stack was saved in a legacy 
format, it would stay in that format. Is that not the case? Is there any way to 
prevent the file format change when saving a stack?

Thanks,
Chris

 working in LC 7.0+ the stack is saving with the new file format, and 
 therefore won’t open in pre-7.0 versions of LiveCode. I though once a stack 
 was saved in a legacy format, it would stay in that format. Is that not the 
 case? Is there any way to prevent the file format change when saving a stack?
 
 I think the stackfileversion global property will help here!
 
 Do something like this:
 ...
 ## Save current stackfileversion value:
 put the stackfileversion into tOldSFV
 
 ## See dictionary for other possible values
 set the stackfileversion to 5.5
 save this stack
 
 ## Restore old value:
 set the stackfileversion to tOldSFV
 ...
 
 Thanks,
 Chris
 
 Best

If possible, simply log in to the Mac app store and go to Purchases. It should

Re: [OT] OSX 10.9

2014-11-07 Thread Chris Sheffield

Hmm, if that’s the case, I’m not really sure. When I log into the Mac Dev 
Center, I see a button to download 10.9, which jumps me to the Mac App Store, 
but that may only be because I already have in the past. It used to be that you 
could go to the Other Downloads section and find disk images for past versions 
of OS X, but I don’t think those are even available anymore. The 10.9.x updates 
are all there, but not the full install that I can see…

Re: Major Bug in 6.7?

2014-11-04 Thread Chris Sheffield

I’ve also seen this happen in the IDE, but I haven’t been able to figure out 
what triggers it. Scary that it’s getting passed on to standalones. Strangely 
enough, if I right/ctrl-click on the LC icon in the Dock, and select Quit, LC 
closes normally. I don’t have to force quit. Wonder if a standalone will quit 
the same way?

I’ll keep a closer eye on it and see if I can figure out exactly what’s causing 
the behavior.

iOS beta testing with Apple's revamped TestFlight

2014-10-24 Thread Chris Sheffield

I’ve been trying to figure this out this morning and thought I would pass on 
what I’ve learned in case anyone else is interested.

First, there is an enhancement request for LiveCode here Bug 13716 
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13716, which requests adding a 
separate version string to the info.plist file. Right now, the version string 
specified in the iOS standalone settings is used in the info.plist file for 
both CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString. The first one should be 
used to include a build number (i.e. 1.2.0.5), while the second should be used 
to specify the new version of your app, as it should appear in the App Store 
(i.e. 1.2). The request asks that a second field be added to the standalone 
settings so we can specify two different version strings. This appears to be 
necessary in order to effectively take advantage of the new TestFlight 
features. You can work around this now by explicitly setting a value for 
CFBundleVersion in the settings.plist template file before building your app 
(just be sure to make a copy of the file before editing it). Kind of a pain, 
but it works.

Second, you must use an App Store distribution profile when building your app. 
The new TestFlight doesn’t seem to work with anything else. In fact, you can’t 
even upload your app via Application Loader. Also, it appears you need a 
profile that was created *after* the launch of TestFlight Beta Testing. If you 
have an older one, you have to regenerate it. Although, I have done this and I 
still see a message in iTunes Connect that my build is missing the correct beta 
entitlement. So I’m not sure if there’s something that needs to be done in 
LiveCode or what. Possibly another entry added to info.plist? I’ll check into 
this a bit more.

Third, as far as I can tell, the new TestFlight requires devices running iOS 8 
or newer. You have to download the new TestFlight app from the App Store, which 
will only install on these devices. Not sure why this is required. Would be 
nice if we could at least continue using iOS 7.x devices for beta testing, but 
that’s Apple for you…

I’m still working to figure some of this out, but, like I said, just thought 
I’d pass on some of this info in case it will help others. Of course, if you 
plan to just continue using the existing TestFlight service at 
testflightapp.com, then you can completely disregard this message. :-) 
(Although I’m not sure how much longer that service will continue. Anyone know?)

Thanks,
Chris

Re: iOS beta testing with Apple's revamped TestFlight

Colin, yes, that probably would work just fine. It’s just a little cleaner in 
Apple’s TestFlight if you can specify a separate build number, in my opinion. 
Maybe it’s just me. :-)

iOS apps - speed difference between LC 6.6.x and 6.7

2014-10-07 Thread Chris Sheffield

I apologize if someone has brought this up before. I don’t recall.

I’m working on an update to an app and have switched over to using LC 6.7. 
Apart from having to change a line of code to get in-app purchases working 
correctly (new syntax), I’m noticing a speed difference. After building the app 
and running on a device (iPad Air), the app is just plain slower all around. 
The splash screen stays displayed longer, transitions (visual effects) are 
slower, etc. Not a lot slower, but enough that I notice it. I don’t see these 
issues when building the app with LC 6.6.4.

Has anyone else noticed this? I’ll take a closer look at the release notes to 
see if something has changed, but I wanted to check here to see if anyone else 
has had the same experience.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: RELEASE: LiveCode 6.6.4 RC1

2014-10-06 Thread Chris Sheffield

Dave,

Maybe you know this already, but I found with Xcode 6 it is now necessary to go 
in and set up the device simulators that you need for testing. Open Xcode, then 
open the Devices window from the Window menu. There might be some default ones, 
but you can click the + button to set up additional testing simulators. I found 
that once I did that, I was able to test in the simulator again. I still get an 
error message occasionally from LiveCode that says something about the 
simulator not booting properly, but if I’m patient for 20 or 30 seconds, it’ll 
eventually install and run the app.

Hopefully that’ll help.

Chris

 When putting my app through Xcode on my iPad the image is saved nicely

 But when I download the app from the Appstore (I never did before until

 This is on a iPad 3 with retina screen with iOS 7. On a non Retina screen
 (iPad mini) with iOS 8 the behavior is normal and the entire image is saved.
 
 My app was uploaded to the App store in februari 2014 and today I noticed
 that MergPop was updated on 3/24/14.
 Does anyone recognize my problem. Is it due to an older version of Mergpop
 (2.0.7?) and retina screens?
 I also contacted Monty but he didn't respond yet..

iOS app submission error - invalid segment alignment

2014-09-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Has anyone run into this? Suddenly I’m getting this error when trying to upload 
a build with Application Loader. I’ve tried both AL 2.9.1 and 3.0 (actually, 
version 3.0 gives me a “redundant binary” error, but I think it’s a bug in AL 
itself). The strange thing is I created and uploaded a build for a different 
app just fine a week ago, using the same version of LC (6.6.3).

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: iOS app submission error - invalid segment alignment

2014-09-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Colin,

I thought I saw your name on one of the forums where someone else (I believe a 
Flash Builder user) had reported this same issue.

I do have Xcode 6.0.1 installed, and I’ve made sure the command line tools are 
set to Xcode 6.0.1 in Xcode's Preferences - Locations (not sure if that has 
anything to do with it or not), but I’m still getting the same error. It looked 
like on that Adobe forum (is that what it was?) they had a workaround, but I 
didn’t quite understand it. Did you? If so, could you explain it here? I can’t 
possibly be the only one affected by this.

I will probably email LC support here pretty soon if I can’t figure out 
anything else.

Thanks,
Chris

 Apple changed the way that the linker works. If LiveCode is using its own 
 linker, it’s likely to be doing it in an old way that is no longer valid.
 
 Using the Apple linker that is at /usr/bin/ln solves the problem for other 
 tools. Don’t know if that will apply to LiveCode.
 
 Now, if LiveCode is already using the system linker, then you should be able 
 to fix things by updating to Xcode 6.0.1.

Re: iOS app submission error - invalid segment alignment

2014-09-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Here’s something that’s strange though, and maybe I’m just not totally 
understanding the problem exactly. LiveCode 6.6.3 supports Xcode 5.1.1, and 
builds against the iOS SDK included with that. Apple is supposedly still 
accepting apps built against that SDK (at least, that’s what iTunes Connect 
says). But I’m getting this error even when building my app with LC 6.6.3.

So I don’t get why it’s an issue. Something else going on?

But it sounds like RunRev are aware of the problem and working on a fix, 
according to Mike Kerner just a minute ago.

 One interesting thing about the Adobe thread is the number of people who 
 seemed to be submitting apps right now, and were hit with the problem.
 
 In Adobe’s case they have their own version of the linker, because they need 
 to be able to publish to iOS from Windows, amongst other reasons. The work 
 around for now is to replace the Adobe ln64 file with the system’s ln file 
 (renamed), then when you compile an iOS app it ends up using Apple’s linker.
 
 The solution doesn’t work for Windows, Adobe will have to update their own 
 linker to fix things there.
 
 From what you say it could be that LiveCode does use its own linker, or it 
 has an engine that your stack gets bundled with, and that engine was created 
 with an older Xcode.

Ralph,

I’m glad to hear your app got approved. We’ve got another one waiting for 
review right now. I built it and submitted it last Friday, using Mavericks, LC 
6.6.3, and Xcode 5.1.1. So I’m hoping it won’t get rejected because of this. 
Knowing that yours wasn’t gives me hope. :-)

It doesn’t appear to be an OS X issue, so you should be fine once RunRev 
release LC 6.6.4. You can read more about it here

 Subject: Re: iOS app submission error - invalid segment alignment
 
 Here's something that's strange though, and maybe I'm just not totally
 understanding the problem exactly. LiveCode 6.6.3 supports Xcode 5.1.1, and
 builds against the iOS SDK included with that. Apple is supposedly still
 accepting apps built against that SDK (at least, that's what iTunes Connect
 says). But I'm getting this error even when building my app with LC 6.6.3.
 
 So I don't get why it's an issue. Something else going on?
 
 But it sounds like RunRev are aware of the problem and working on a fix,
 according to Mike Kerner just a minute ago.

 One interesting thing about the Adobe thread is the number of people who
 seemed to be submitting apps right now, and were hit with the problem.
 
 In Adobe's case they have their own version of the linker, because they
 need to be able to publish to iOS from Windows, amongst other reasons. The
 work around for now is to replace the Adobe ln64 file with the system's ln
 file (renamed), then when you compile an iOS app it ends up using Apple's
 linker.
 
 The solution doesn't work for Windows, Adobe will have to update their own
 linker to fix things there.
 
 From what you say it could be that LiveCode does use its own linker, or it
 has an engine that your stack gets bundled with, and that engine was created
 with an older Xcode.

Re: iOS app submission error - invalid segment alignment

2014-09-26 Thread Chris Sheffield

Okay, so if we just take the ld file from Xcode 6.0.1 and place it inside the 
older SDKs, theoretically that should take care of the problem? Will that cause 
weird incompatibilities? Guess it’s worth a try. :-)

Re: Apple TestFlight beta testing

2014-09-12 Thread Chris Sheffield

Mike,

You’re right. TestFlight is not new, but Apple’s implementation of it is. I’ve 
also been using TestFlight for years, and will most likely continue to do so in 
the “old” way for as long as possible, since we have to test our apps on a 
range of devices running various versions of iOS.

Apple’s “new” implementation requires the new TestFlight app to be installed on 
the device. The app requires iOS 8 to run. So if you have an app build uploaded 
to iTunes Connect, you can now specify to allow beta testing for that build. 
You can add the users you want to have access to it, and then those users open 
the TestFlight app in order to view and download any betas they have access to. 
It seems like a nice implementation, but it bothers me a bit that beta testing 
requires the testers to have iOS 8 on their devices. What if we want/need to 
test our apps on older versions of iOS?

Chris

 I note that Testflight Beta Testing is only for iOS 8 so if your app
 is built to be iOS 7 compatible maybe that then makes it's 'not

Are you using any externals with your app? Usually when I’ve seen immediate

iOS app build error

2014-09-09 Thread Chris Sheffield

Another day, another problem (it’s me, I’m sure)…

All of a sudden I’m getting the following error when trying to build an iOS app:

“could not find a valid identity to use for the selected profile”

I have tried everything I can think of to try to resolve this, including 
removing my developer certificate(s) and all provisioning profiles and then 
reinstalling them. Nothing seems to work.

Anyone else run into this? Any ideas?

Chris

Re: iOS app build error

2014-09-09 Thread Chris Sheffield

Well, after working on this all day long, I am totally stumped. I’ve even tried 
building my app on a clean VM running Mavericks and LC 6.6.2. Still no go. I 
get the same error message. I think my certificates are hosed somehow, but I’m 
not sure how to fix them. I am noticing that I sometimes end up with duplicate 
certificates when I look in Keychain Access. But when I’ve seen that in the 
past, deleting them has always fixed the problem. Not this time, though. And if 
I open Xcode and let it automatically download and install everything, I just 
end up with all kinds of duplicates again.

I’ve tried over and over to revoke my certificates and re-create them, and to 
re-create all my provisioning profiles. Nothing works.

Does anyone have any ideas? I don’t think this is a LC problem specifically, 
but if anyone has any other ideas, I’d be very gratefully.

Thanks,
Chris

 be that using xCode for deleting/updating local provisioning files was
 somewhat unreliable, and that manually deleting the profiles sometimes
 makes a difference (I ran into this fairly recently).

Strange error uploading iOS app to Apple

2014-09-05 Thread Chris Sheffield

Has anyone experienced this before?

I wanted to try out the new TestFlight stuff through Apple today, so I tried to 
upload an app build but am receiving the following error from Application 
Loader:

Your app contains non-public API usage. Please review the errors, correct them, 
and resubmit your application.

The app references non-public symbols in [app_name]: 
MPMoviePlayerContentPreloadDidFinishNotification


As far as I know I’m not using this anywhere. The only thing I can think of is 
that I’m using mergNotify (Monte?) to display a message to the user when the 
app becomes active again after the device has been locked. Does mergNotify 
possibly have something in it that’s causing this? Anyone have any other ideas? 
The app is built with LC 6.6.2.

This app is still in beta testing, but we’re going to ready for release very 
soon, and I’d like to have this worked out asap.

Thanks,
Chris

No, but that’s a good idea. Hadn’t thought of it. Only bad thing is, my app 
shows some strange bugs when built with LC 6.7. But it might be worth a try 
just to see if it’ll upload to Apple.

Thanks.

fatal flaw in Mobile Support preferences under Yosemite

2014-09-05 Thread Chris Sheffield

Just got bit by this. Thought I’d throw out the warning just in case.

I installed OS X Yosemite yesterday to give it a go. I fired up LC today and 
tried to create an app build (iOS) only to discover that the process failed. I 
went into the Mobile Support prefs, and the entire iOS SDKs pane was disabled 
and no SDKs were set. I peeked into the code a bit, and discovered that it’s 
using the systemVersion in a couple places to determine which versions of OS X 
and SDKs are supported. Turns out, under Yosemite, the systemVersion returns 
10.10.0, which of course, numbers-wise, is less than 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, etc. So 
the pane is getting disabled and it’s impossible to set the path to any SDK.

Pretty nasty bug. I’ll report it, but thought I’d give everyone a heads up. 
I’ll probably try to come up with a workaround in the meantime, as I need it to 
work with LC 6.6.2, and I’m not sure if we’ll get another 6.6.x release in 
order to fix it or not.

LC 6.7 rc-1 - a couple strange things in an iOS app

2014-09-03 Thread Chris Sheffield

Is anyone trying out the latest LC 6.7 build for iOS apps? I’m seeing a couple 
odd things that I’m wondering if anyone else has run into.

First, I have an iPad app that’s using a couple custom fonts. One font in 
particular doesn’t seem to work throughout the app. The strange part is it 
works/displays as expected in some fields, but not in others (even on the same 
card).

Another issue I’m seeing is with export snapshot. I’m using the “at size” 
variation and it seems to produce an empty image

A third issue (IDE only), searching a stack’s scripts is painfully slow. A 
search that should only take a second or two takes about 24 to 25 seconds to 
complete. Ouch!

All of these issues only appear in LC 6.7 (possibly 7.0 as well, but I haven’t 
taken the time yet to check). LC 6.6.2 behaves as expected.

I’m planning on reporting these issues to RunRev, but I thought I’d check here 
first to see if anyone can offer any suggestions.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: First LC Submission to iTunes

2014-07-01 Thread Chris Sheffield

Vaughn,

Not sure if you’ve received a response yet or not, but here are my answers as 
based on my experience.

Yes, you must use iTunes Connect in order to begin the app submission process. 
It’s iTunes Connect that ultimately “connects” everything together. That’s 
where you’ll create your app, upload the large app icon (1024x1024), upload 
screen shots, and specify other information (pricing, description, etc.). It’s 
mostly self explanatory I think. Once you’ve gone through the steps and are 
ready to submit your actual app bundle, you use Application Loader, which is 
part of Xcode.

You shouldn’t need to add any extra code to your open stack script to handle 
multiple screen resolutions, so long as you’re using a version of LiveCode that 
supports auto resizing/scaling. I imagine you already are, but just double 
check that. If you don’t have a retina screen device to test on (I would highly 
recommend trying to get your hands on one, if not), at the very least you 
should test using the simulator. You can simulate a retina screen device by 
selecting the appropriate options in the Hardware menu while the simulator is 
running. Are you using any images in your app? If so, and you want them to look 
nice and crisp on the retina screen, you’ll need @2x versions of each of your 
images. Of course, maybe you’re going the simple route and don’t need to do any 
of this.

I’m sure there’s a guide somewhere for the different sizes for the splash 
screen, screen shots, and icon sizes, but honestly, I find them to be 
confusing. :-) The following should help a bit.

For iTunes Connect, screen shots either have to be 1024 x 768, or 2048 x 1536. 
You don’t have to submit both sizes. Lately I’ve just been submitting the 
larger size. I believe the app store scales them as needed. I believe you have 
to submit at least one screen shot.

For the splash screen, the same sizes apply, but you *must* have one at each 
size if you’re supporting both screen types.

For the app icon sizes, this is where it gets fun. For non-retina, pre-iOS 7 
devices (if you’re supporting those) you need a 72x72 size icon. For retina, 
pre-iOS 7 devices (not sure why anyone would have a device like this, but I 
suppose it’s possible) you’ll double that, so 144x144. For non-retina iOS 7 
devices (iPad 2) you need a 76x76 icon. For retina iOS 7 devices, you need 
152x152. Yes, you need four different icon sizes if you’re supporting all iPads 
and versions of iOS. I’m sure you know, but there are places for each of these 
in the standalone application settings under the iOS tab. And it’ll warn you if 
you try to use an icon that’s not the correct size.

Hopefully that answers your questions. And hopefully someone will correct me if 
I’m wrong about any of this.

Good luck,
Chris

Re: First LC Submission to iTunes

2014-07-01 Thread Chris Sheffield

I’m not totally sure about all the requirements to be honest. I’m not sure if
apps will be rejected if icons are missing. Does anyone else know? My company
has always supported all iPad models, so I’ve just gotten use to providing
everything that LiveCode has a space for.

You can still get retina screen shots. Just use the simulator. In the Hardware
menu, select a retina device profile and re-launch your app. Then use Cmd-S to
save a shot of whatever screens you’d like. They’ll save to your desktop and
can be uploaded to iTunes Connect.

As I mentioned before, I would highly recommend testing your app in the
simulator with a retina device profile selected. I guarantee you retina device
users will download your app, and if it doesn’t look decent or run smoothly,
it’ll cause problems. And if it’s at all possible to get your hands on a retina
device to test on, do it. The simulator works “mostly” well for testing, but
it’s still not the same as testing on an actual device.

Re: First LC Submission to iTunes

2014-07-01 Thread Chris Sheffield

Yes. I’ve found Preview to be very simple for resizing icons. Start with the
larger one, open it in Preview, create a duplicate (so you’re not editing your
original), then just resize to half the size via the Tools menu. Super simple.
As far as quality goes, I’m not sure if other tools are better, but it gets the
job done.

the size?

The simulator screen capture is great advice for the retina display. I was

Re: First LC Submission to iTunes

2014-07-01 Thread Chris Sheffield

Again, maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly certain the
app *will not* be rejected if a splash screen is missing. It is recommended,
but not required. A splash screen is especially helpful if your app takes some
time to load. Otherwise, probably not absolutely necessary. Keep in mind,
however, that if it’s missing, LiveCode will give you a warning whenever you
build your app (at least, it used; I’m assuming this is still the case).
Sometimes just supplying a simple black splash screen image is worth it to not
have to click OK on that warning every time you build.

segmentation fault?

2014-06-11 Thread Chris Sheffield

I have an iOS app that’s crashing unexpectedly when run on a device (iPad Air). 
The error in the console is “Segmentation fault:  11”. Anybody know what this 
means or how I might go about fixing it? What’s strange is it only crashes 
after running just fine for a while, which makes me wonder if there’s a memory 
leak somewhere in LC that might be causing this. As far as I can tell, it’s 
happening when trying to set an opacity value for the outer glow property of a 
graphic.

Any help is appreciated. I’ll most likely submit a report to RunRev, but 
thought I’d ask here first. I’m running LC 6.6.2 and iOS 7.1.1, if that makes 
any difference.

Thanks,
Chris

 Wow... congratulations. I've never even heard of anyone getting a segfault
 on an iOS device before. It's probably nothing you can do at a script level
 - a segmentation fault is an attempt by the cpu to access memory in a
 prohibited manner.

aligning text in columns

2014-06-10 Thread Chris Sheffield

Do we have the ability yet to set the text alignment for individual columns in 
a table field?

I have a very simple field with just two columns. I want the alignment of the 
first one to be left, and the second one to be right. A data grid is overkill, 
otherwise I’d go with that. I couldn’t remember if, with all the new field 
changes, that was added or not. I can’t seem to find any obvious properties, 
but I could be missing something.

Or would it be best to just use two separate fields for this?

Thanks,
Chris

sloooowww standalone building with many included files

2014-05-22 Thread Chris Sheffield

So I have an app. An iOS app. This app includes lots and lots of small audio 
files (nearly 8500). All those files are in a folder, which is included in the 
Copy Files pane of the standalone build settings. Creating the build works just 
fine, but it takes a very long time. I haven’t kept track exactly, but probably 
close to 10 minutes. Maybe not quite.

Anyway, can anyone think of a way to speed this up? I tried creating my own 
routine to copy that folder into the app bundle in a savingMobileStandalone 
handler. This worked very well as far as the copying goes. I used revCopyFolder 
and it worked great and was very quick. It probably only took about 20 seconds 
to create the build, if that. Unfortunately, it appears that the signing of the 
app takes place *before* what happens in the savingMobileStandalone handler, 
which seems to be invalidating the signature, as the app bundle is being 
modified after the signing. I was able to manually install the app on my device 
and run it just fine, but once I uploaded the build to Testflight for testing 
purposes, no one was able to download and install it successfully from there.

So any thoughts? Or should I create an enhancement request to see if the build 
process can be sped up a bit. Not sure why it takes so long, when revCopyFolder 
is quite fast.

Thanks,
Chris

2014-05-22 Thread Chris Sheffield

I know. You’d think so. But it’s not the signing of the app that takes a long 
time. It’s the copying of the files into the app bundle. At least, that’s the 
step that’s shown in the standalone builder progress dialog. The actual signing 
is quick.

Re: iOS Home Button Shutdown not working!

2014-05-08 Thread Chris Sheffield

Rick,

This seems to be working fine for me. Which version of LC are you using? I just 
did a simple test using a put command and checking console output using LC 
6.6.2 RC3. Tested in both the simulator and on a device. My shutdown handler 
triggers in both cases.

You might try a simple test like that with a put statement right at the 
beginning of your handler, if you haven’t done so already. If you don’t see any 
output in the console, then there’s definitely an issue and it should be 
reported to RunRev. But if you do, then you should be able to do a little 
debugging and try to figure out exactly where the problem lies.

Re: iOS Home Button Shutdown not working!

2014-05-08 Thread Chris Sheffield

Unfortunately, no it doesn’t work for me either. However, I seem to remember a 
bug in one version of LC where using put statements itself did not work 
correctly. The output wasn’t displayed in the console. Unfortunately I don’t 
remember which version. Does anyone else? So there’s a possibility we’re 
running into that bug with LC 6.5.2.

Another way to test this would be to write out a simple text file to the 
Documents folder in the shutdown handler. If you test it in the simulator, you 
can fairly easily locate that text file. The path would be something like this 
/Users/[user_name]/Library/Application Support/iPhone 
Simulator/[iOS_version]/Applications/F16EE956-F742-4FB9-80A6-51C521B2FA75/Documents.
 Maybe you already know this. Anyway, that big long nasty folder name will have 
to be replaced with whatever folder contains your app. No easy way that I know 
of. You’ll just have to browse all the folders until you find the one 
containing your app.

Anyway, this is kind of a dumb workaround that shouldn’t even be necessary, but 
hopefully it’ll get you started in determining whether or not shutdown is 
actually firing. My guess is that it is, and 6.5.2 has the “put” bug, and 
there’s some error occurring that makes it seem like shutdown is not running. 
If you have access to a newer version of LC, I’d recommend switching over when 
you can. I realize that’s not always easy to do.

Hope this helps a bit. Good luck!

Chris

Re: Strange!

2014-04-25 Thread Chris Sheffield

Dan,

Sounds like some debugging is in order which, as I’m sure you know, can be a 
little tricky for iOS apps. I would recommend using put statements and/or 
answer dialogs to try and narrow down where the problem lies. Since preOpenCard 
fires but openCard does not, my guess is you’ve got an error occurring at some 
point during preOpenCard, and it’s basically stopping the app in its tracks.

A handy little script I picked up along the way allows you to easily see when 
runtime errors occur in any app, but I find it especially useful for mobile 
apps when testing in the simulator or on a device. I got this from Jacque 
Landman-Gay, who I believe originally got it from Andre Garzia.


constant kDebug = answer

on log pMsg 
switch kDebug
case msg
put pMsg  cr
break
case file
put pMsg  cr after url (file:  the effective filename of this 
stack  .log)
break
case answer -- jlg: added
answer pMsg titled the short name of this card
break
end switch
end log

on errorDialog pErr -- catches and reports system errors
log pErr
end errorDialog


Place this in your stack script. Then set the kDebug constant to whichever 
debug method you prefer. If there’s an error somewhere in preOpenCard, this 
should catch it and help you get started with figuring out the problem

Good luck!

Chris

iOS: message sent when screen is unlocked?

2014-04-22 Thread Chris Sheffield

Is there a message that’s sent to a stack when the user unlocks an iOS device’s 
screen after it has been locked?

So say an app is running. Instead of closing it using the Home button, the user 
either locks the screen or the screen locks automatically after the specified 
time in Settings. Is there a way to catch that the user has unlocked the screen 
and take some kind of action?

 It's built-in but invisible. In preferences, go to the Appearance pane and 
 set the grid spacing to whatever you want. In the View menu, be sure Grid is 
 selected. After that, dragging an object will snap it to the nearest gridline.

Re: new at size clause in export snapshot

2014-03-31 Thread Chris Sheffield

Odd. Yes, this does work just fine. Not sure what I did earlier. All is well 
again. Thanks.

 That's odd, I tested it earlier on a Windows machine, and again just now on a

 Here's my recipe:
 - create a new stack
 - drag an image and a button on it
 - set the button script to:
 ##
 on mouseUp
   local tObj, tData, tHeight, tWidth
   put the long id of me into tObj
   put 4 * the height of tObj into tHeight
   put 4 * the width of tObj into tWidth
   export snapshot from tObj at size tWidth, tHeight to tData as PNG
   put tData into image 1
 end mouseUp
 ##
 
 Click on the button and the image gets set without any issues.

 Thanks, Jan. Making that change at
 least allowed my script to compile. Unfortunately, I got a
 run-time error. So something is still up. However, import
 snapshot works. I just had to take an extra step to deal
 with the created image.
 
 I’ll get a bug report submitted asap.
 
 Thanks,
 Chris

new at size clause in export snapshot

2014-03-28 Thread Chris Sheffield

Has anybody tried out the new “at size” clause in the export snapshot command 
introduced in LC 6.6? I can’t get it to work. In fact, my script won’t even 
compile if I include it.

export snapshot from tObj to tData as PNG at size tWidth, tHeight

I’ve tried various uses of parentheses and can’t get anything to work. Can 
anyone help? I can’t find a specific example anywhere in the dictionary or in 
the release notes. I need this in order to get a retina resolution snapshot on 
the retina iPad.

Thanks,
Chris

 Hi Chris,
 
 It turns out to be a difference between the syntax as described in the 
 dictionary, and the actual parser implementation.
 The MCExport::parse method in cmdsf.cpp is written such that the 'at size' 
 clause needs to come after the 'from' clause and before the 'to' clause.
 
 A quick test showed that the following variant compiles and works:
 ##
 export snapshot from tObj at size tWidth, tHeight to tData as PNG
 ##
 
 In other words, you should go to the Quality Center and file a report.
 RunRev needs to either update the dictionary or the parser code :-)
 
 HTH,
 
 Jan Schenkel.

OT: PencilCase

2014-03-27 Thread Chris Sheffield

Anybody hear of PencilCase yet? According to their site, it’s “HyperCard 
reimagined”. This seems to be specifically targeted at mobile apps, so LiveCode 
still has some major advantages, but this does provide some interesting 
features.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the link, Colin. I forgot to share that.

 Had not heard of that. Here’s the web page:

 The video is worth watching:

 There are some things about it that are a bit like GameSalad, and it does use 
 Javascript for programming, if the standard modules don’t foo everything you 
 need.
 
 Some of their claims seem dubious. Like how you can instantly publish to the 
 App Store, implying that you don’t need a developer account with Apple. Also 
 talk of there being their own app store, which is normally disallowed in the 
 App Store.
