Big Sur bugs

[Marty Knapp via use-livecode]

In my testing of LC apps running under Big Sur I have run into the following 
bugs running LC 9.6.1:

1) Tabbed buttons: The background of the highlighted tab is now white by 
default. Since LC renders the text for the highlighted button as white, it is 
not readable until you switch to another tab. Work-around - set the 
backgroundColor of the button to black. Bug report 22879

2) Window Shape: Setting the windowShape of a stack to an imported image no 
longer works. It will show the rectangle of the stack. Bug report 22880

3) SystemVersion: Big Sur is designated by Apple as version 11 but LC will 
report it as 10.16. Easy enough to code around until it’s fixed. Bug report 
22887

4) Printing: LC hangs as I mentioned in a previous post. Bug report 22930

Big Sur hangs when printing

[Marty Knapp via use-livecode]

I just installed the latest beta of Big Sur and if you attempt to print from LC 
(either in the IDE or a Mac standalone) it will hang, requiring a force quit. 
It was working OK in the previous beta. I’ve had several customers report the 
same issue. This is making me really nervous as I would guess the Big Sure 
release is going to be here very soon. I have a mission critical app with 
printing as an absolute necessity. Try it for yourself - create a stack in the 
LC IDE and then try to print the card. The print dialog never appears and it 
will hang. I was able to successfully print from a couple of Apple apps with no 
problem.

I have filed bug #22930 and attached a few system logs but have not heard 
anything back. I don’t know enough about error logs to know if the issue is 
with LC or the OS beta.

RE: Xcode, iOS 14 and Livecode

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

You can have more than one version of Xcode on your system. You can install a 
more recent version as not to get that error message and still build against a 
previous version. When I say "install" I mean download from the Apple dev site. 
I don’t even have an xcode version in the Applications folder. I keep all 
versions in a separate folder renamed to their version. You just have to make 
sure LC build's against the one it expects. Using these commands in the a 
terminal window:

To see what your building against==> xcode-select --print-path
To change the build path==> sudo xcode-select -switch "/path/to/xcode_xx.xx.app"
where xx.xx is the renamed xcode.app to include version.

If you referring to the message in the "Devices and Simulator" window can 
ignore it. Just drag you .app in to window and it will work just fine.

Subject: Xcode, iOS 14 and Livecode

I’ve come back to an iOS app that I left for a time, before the advent of iOS 
14. My beta version works very nicely in the Simulator available in Xcode 11.5, 
which I understand is the one LC9.6.1 expects one to have. I’m simulating an 
iPhone XS, largely because I’ve got one of thos,e so it makes a good testbed.

The problem comes when I want to upload my beta to my real phone, which is 
running iOS 14.0.1. Xcode wants me to update, presumably to the latest version.

What are my options, e.g.

1. Stop work

2. Carry on developing using the simulator and hope for better times.

3. Download another version of Xcode but keep the old one for LC development.

Of course I’ve looked for an answer from the mother ship, but although there is 
a very interesting mail from Panos on the subject of different versions of 
XCode and the way the work with LC, repeated in a Forum post in March, it 
doesn’t cover the case I have now, AFAIKS. I just don’t know how to get my app 
into my own phone - publishing the app in the Store will of course come later.

What are other folks doing?

Re: Select text question

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Untested, but try this:

on keyboardActivated
 select text of fld 
end keyboardActivated

If you get a selection flash when it sets twice, remove the command from 
the openField handler.

Ah, I see now. This is not an issue at all in ordinary LC, as you certainly

Thanks Craig. Somehow the return characters didn’t arrive in my email, but of 
course I understand what you mean. But this would simply empty the field, 
wouldn’t it, whereas I want the user to see the text that was there before, 
selected. I thought that was what the ’select’ command for text was for.

Xcode, iOS 14 and Livecode

[Graham Samuel via use-livecode]

I’ve come back to an iOS app that I left for a time, before the advent of iOS 
14. My beta version works very nicely in the Simulator available in Xcode 11.5, 
which I understand is the one LC9.6.1 expects one to have. I’m simulating an 
iPhone XS, largely because I’ve got one of thos,e so it makes a good testbed.

The problem comes when I want to upload my beta to my real phone, which is 
running iOS 14.0.1. Xcode wants me to update, presumably to the latest version.

What are my options, e.g.

1. Stop work

2. Carry on developing using the simulator and hope for better times.

3. Download another version of Xcode but keep the old one for LC development.

Of course I’ve looked for an answer from the mother ship, but although there is 
a very interesting mail from Panos on the subject of different versions of 
XCode and the way the work with LC, repeated in a Forum post in March, it 
doesn’t cover the case I have now, AFAIKS. I just don’t know how to get my app 
into my own phone - publishing the app in the Store will of course come later.

What are other folks doing?
