I seem to recall a Wikipedia article that lists all of the file extensions not file types but file extensions. You might want to look to see if yours is already in use. Kee Nethery > On Sep 7, 2019, at 10:44 PM, JB via use-livecode > wrote: > > Thanks for the info! I guess I will just

Years ago you could create a file type or extension like jpeg, zip, pict etc. and then you would need to register that extension with Apple. If I create a new file extension do I need to register that extension with Apple or just start using it. The reason I am asking is I am creating a new form

Everyone is signing the praises of tools to jump through Apple's hoops, but I see no one refuting Peter's original claims that Catalina is a ste towards the end of ad-hoc and in-house development for the Apple platform and I would agree. Apple's goal for OSX is to get to the same place as

I have an idea on how to get a single ‘Capsule’ app notorized that can open and run any stack file as a standalone. It does mean that the stack won’t be compiled quite like a true standalone but does allow users to open any stack on their desktops. Perhaps there’s a way we could even get it to

I just wanted to chime in on singing the praises for Matthias’ tool as well. It has made code-signing and notarizing Mac applications so easy and fast for me. And it has a feature that allows it to work with the third party tool DropDMG (which I already used)… so even more amazing! A huge gift

I will add that this situation is not unique to LC, it will apply to any environment that creates a compiled app.  I still think that LC will be an optimal choice given the ease of development - especially with the way Mac apps are packaged (everything can be inside the .app folder). Thanks,

I can't recommend Matthias' tool enough, it can do all Apple requires with a click. Notarization does not go through Apple's approval process, no human ever sees it, it's entirely automated. It simply adds a token that proves you are a verified developer in good standing. Once that token is

One part you say seems incorrect. I’ve been running Catalina full time since the first developer build, and I’ve seen various combinations of problems. For the one you’re talking about, where right-click Open still doesn’t open the app, in the security control panel where it used to say open

Hi Peter, We are all pretty miffed about the overly restrictive nature of developing native apps. These is a lot of time wasted on the ever changing hoops one must jump through just to develop in-house or small audience apps. Not only is it pushing away developers from developing for specific

I've been using LiveCode as my development platform since 1999. Practically all the apps I've developed have been for in-house use by my family, friends and customers - all very low numbers of copies distributed in an informal manner. I've no interest in App Store distribution and the users of
