Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
I may be wrong about this (can anyone verify?), but if you're building for iOS 5 or later, you should be perfectly safe selecting armv7 only and building for that, since any devices capable of running iOS 5 and above are armv7 devices only. Yes, this is correct and a good idea - the iPhone 3G was the last device to have an ARMv6 processor and that can only run iOS 4.3 or earlier - that's why Apple has dropped support for armv6 builds from the more recent Xcode versions. I expect (really hope) that LiveCode only duplicates the engine code within the Universal binary and puts the main stack in a data section that is shared by both code variants - if that's the case, this might only save you a few megabytes of engine code, but you should do it anyway - iOS5+ with armv6 is pure waste. I'd not seen the main executable size issue before and a quick Google suggests both this and the not yet mandatory PIE warning are new. This is either a subtle crackdown on low quality apps produced by tools other than XCode or there are some new products or tools on the way which will care about this in the future. I'll bring it up on the engine forum. As I understand it, only the main stack is actually bundled inside the executable in a standalone, so a simple fix would be to create a launcher stack as your main stack which simply loads the previous main stack which you can include in the bundle separately. However, creating apps much, much larger than they need to be is not friendly to your users. Large images should be JPEG compressed - if they contain text that loses quality due to JPEG compression then split the images up (or if it's all text, store it as text not an image!). Audio should also be in a suitable compressed format (i.e. not WAV). In this case it sounds like LiveCode 6's application browser might be handy for finding out what's actually inside the stack easily, then removing all the media and referencing it externally. Otherwise it might be easier to rebuild the stack by copying the scripts across into a new one that only references external media from the start?

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Mark, At first I wanted to object to the need for JPEG only for large images as all of the research that I have done (especially concerning transparency issues) has told me to never use JPEG (except for the web) in most of my apps but then I realized that I have not tested those same results for iOS and Android engines, so I will need to do those tests again to verify/reject my findings. That said, using 2048 png's with transparency layers on fourteen cards with special visual effects and playing song files on one channel and a voice over on another channel did not slow down either the logic code or the effects code. I created a Ken Burns effect in LC and it runs as smoothly with the larger images as it does with smaller variations. So I'm not sure what would constitute a stack being 'much larger' than it needs to be - in my first case it was the main stack that was large and now it is the images folder that is large - either way the download is going to be the same size and be too big for cellular download (which is why I believe Apple has that warning in the first place.) I would not think that 14 retina sized images on 14 different cards is too large for a mobile app and that instead they must be referenced and that that would be a requirement. Normally I think if it was like 50 images it should be referenced but not just 14. Most LC projects I have seen all use lower quality images or regular 1024 images enlarged for retina via code, but they are definitely not retina images. All of that said, I think what you stated is spot on and should be included in a best practices type document somewhere for mobile development. Maybe with some recommendations for audio and compression comparisons.

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Hi Tom, No need to test JPEGs again on iOS/Android - the JPEG format itself doesn't support transparency! :) If you need transparency then there is another option which is to store the image and it's mask (effectively alpha channel) separately, although I've not worked with these features in LiveCode. If you have a number of very large images such that your app is genuinely hundreds of megabytes it's worth doing some optimisation - some users will not download really big apps to avoid using up limited storage space on their device. From a performance perspective any further compression of the data (e.g. JPEGs are smaller) actually makes more work for the device decompressing it although you're unlikely to notice the difference - it's only when you're downloading the images that making them smaller improves performance. One uncompressed image at iPad retina resolution is at least 12MB. 14 of those is 168MB. I generalised on large images before - PNGs can be very good for compressing images with relatively few colours in large blocks but terrible for compressing photographs. That said, sticking with PNG there are ways to get the exact same image much smaller with a better compressor. Take a look at this: http://imageoptim.com/ipad.html On the engine forum Mark Waddingham has said that they can tweak the build process to remove images (and even the main stack) from the executable fairly easily for future releases. Then the executable will only be about the size of the compiled engine, even if the app itself is much bigger. Mark's response also hinted that maybe if you're building a universal binary (i.e. more than just armv7) you might be getting 2 copies of everything in the main stack within the executable. So I'm not sure what would constitute a stack being 'much larger' than it needs to be - in my first case it was the main stack that was large and now it is the images folder that is large - either way the download is going to be the same size and be too big for cellular download (which is why I believe Apple has that warning in the first place.) Well, for a photograph, a PNG might give you 4:1 compression while due to the retina nature of the iPad display you typically can't see the reduced quality for the same image at medium quality 40:1 JPEG compression - full resolution with more compression usually looks better than 25% (original iPad) resolution with less compression. I'd say 10x the size is much bigger. :) The size restriction is new and unrelated to the 3G download limit (which is 50MB). For now we can only speculate what the limit is for.

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Tom, To get rid of the UDID issue, you'll need to install and use the latest LC 5.5.5 update. It fixes that problem. The push notification entitlement issue is a non-issue. Your app can get approved even with that warning. As for the executable size, I wasn't really aware of any limits, so I find that kind of odd. Are your images embedded in your app (imported as controls into your stack)? If so, is it possible to reference any of them on disk instead using the filename property? So they could still be part of your app bundle, but not be embedded in the executable. Not sure if that's the issue or not. Kind of guessing here. But it seems like the error is referring to the actual executable, not necessarily the app bundle. As for the Non-PIE binary, I'm not sure about that one either, but I'm curious to find out what it means.

If so, is it possible to reference any of them on disk instead using the filename property? So they could still be part of your app bundle, but not be embedded in the executable. Not sure if that's the issue or not. Kind of guessing here. But it seems like the error is referring to the actual executable, not necessarily the app bundle. As for the Non-PIE binary, I'm not sure about that one either, but I'm curious to find out what it means.

Roger, I was hoping to have to avoid that. It seems that 80 MB is the max limit which seems crazy to me. I can't seem to reclaim any of the memory from reducing from 2048 down to 1024 and that bother me. I was hoping to find out why that is happening.

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Scott, If I'm understanding correctly, the limitation is on the actual executable inside the app bundle, not the entire app bundle.

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Oops, sorry. Just re-read your message and you stated your stack file is now 195 MB, which is probably about the size of your executable, plus a few MBs for the engine. Hmm, I'm stumped.

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
Another thought. In the standalone settings, are you building a universal binary? I may be wrong about this (can anyone verify?), but if you're building for iOS 5 or later, you should be perfectly safe selecting armv7 only and building for that, since any devices capable of running iOS 5 and above are armv7 devices only. This may also reduce the size of your executable.

Then saved the app. Then ran through to make sure each was changed from an image to a referenced image. The .livecode got down to 195 MB but the binary is now larger at 400 MB. Damn that was a lot of work to not get this smaller. Do I need to delete the image and then copy an image object and then set the filename?

I too have downloading very large apps in the past, but I'm pretty sure these all have their resources external to the executable. That's why my suggestion was to pull out all possible embedded resources (images, sounds, etc.) and access them externally to the executable. Again, I'm not 100% sure this is the issue.

It seems that 80 MB is the max limit which seems crazy to me. I can't seem to reclaim any of the memory from reducing from 2048 down to 1024 and that bother me. I was hoping to find out why that is happening. But I will have to rewrite this to reference the images to get this down below 80 I think.

Re: First App rejected for odd reasons
If you have a large executable but Apple reports it as very large but not as large as you think it is, there might be a field overflow for size. That overflow might set bits in the header that look like flags and can cause extraneous rejection messages. That is, a bug in xcode or maybe LiveCode might have set the header wrong. Just a wild speculation based on problems in general, not Apple specifically.
