Re: Considering work with livecode server

So, Displaying bundled content only (or mostly) allows Apple's static analysis tools to take a look at your app. They can also identify outgoing connections, so they know if you are opening remote pages. If all you do is display local content, and there is no outgoing connections, then security

Re: Considering work with livecode server

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

Re: Livecode server UNIX version (not Linux).
