Hello all,
Just to add to the discussion that one of Graham's phones runs iOS 10.x, so
in this case, if you need your app to continue running in the background,
you do need to build it with 9.5.1 and check the "enable background
execution" checkbox in the iOS settings. However, you will not be

What is happening to me is that the app is suspended and effectively stopped

Panos, thanks for that info. The truth is my particular app has proved such a
challenge for me in so many different ways that it may never reach its intended
user population - but on the off-chance that I do finish it, then I think I may
have to get involved with the Apple App Store, if only to
Hello Graham,
I could not find any *official* source from Apple, as their docs are
scattered around and it is not easy to determine always if a document is
out of date, but from what I understand iOS apps are running in the
background by default since iOS 12+. Given how quickly people are moving
You are welcome.
Er, my offering IS a one liner.

Good afternoon LC'ers,
I am loading a tab delimited file into a variable and I need to pull out
all unique names from a certain column (let's say column 10) and count how
many times that name appears in that column.
I know there has to be an easy way of doing it. Every time I try to start

Hi.
You are getting empty because the information returned from the function is an
array.

Panos, as usual, this is terrific information! I am applying your advice
immediately.
Not to start an argument, the statistics you quote don’t accord with my
personal experience. Almost everyone I know who owns Apple kit has at least one

Most of the time it works, but sometimes it return "0,0,0" over things I

As to the ’how’, I planned to move into script-only stacks more anyway, and
will also test the Levure framework, and/or Script Tracker.
I’m not sure if those two are compatible though? I mean, if I use Levure
framework I can’t (needn’t?) use Script Tracker as well, right?
Anyway, with the help
ScriptTracker isn’t necessarily incompatible with Levure, but if using that
framework as intended then all of the scripts would be in script only stacks as
behaviors which would make it unnecessary.
I have thought about setting up a hybrid project as a test but never have
gotten around to
The subject line says it. Is there a way for my stack to know which Windows
standalone engine it is running on? For diagnostic purposes I would like to be
able to report the current LiveCode standalone engine. I’m probably missing
something obvious.

All of that works perfectly. Thank you everybody!
Let's through a layer of complexity in here... each of of those names has
another column with a time associated with it, for instance "13:02:58"

As of LC 9.6.0 (dp4) there is support for detecting whether the system is in
dark or light mode and also a message that signals when the display mode
changes. This works well and we have successfully added dark mode support to
our iOS app. However, there appears to be no support for adding a

The version almost uniquely identifies every public engine build - the
buildNumber always does.
The platform together with the processor uniquely identify the target it was
built for.

No 'the processor' reports what architecture the engine was built for.
