Re: Application Transport Security deadline for iOS apps

LiveCode does use UIWebView. I can’t speak for the team but I would think it’s unlikely we would look at altering that until support for iOS 7 is dropped. Down the track with WKWebView having a common api on Mac 10.10 and iOS 8.0 it would make sense to share code when they are our minimum

help wanted!

Hi LiveCoders I have just pushed a patch to the LiveCode docs which changes all 2625 files. The patch does the following: - hard wraps the docs where appropriate/possible to 72 columns (this will make it easier for us to review changes) - fixes a few file name anomalies - removes web as a

Windows Equivalents for Shell: cp (copy)

What alternatives do we have for basic shell commands on Windows? Rumors are out that later this year, Windows will support bash.. and perhaps then Livecode's shell calls to unix/bash commands will be cross platform-- like the one (cp) in this script below. But until then, can anyone provide

Re: Application Transport Security deadline for iOS apps

I needed to use WKWebView not long ago, and started by making a native app test. As far as I could tell Xcode still uses UIWebView for Objective-C projects. I did find a Swift test project, and was able to prove how great WKWebView is. WKWebView requires iOS 8 or later, I think LiveCode still

Re: Application Transport Security deadline for iOS apps

Having a pass-through would work, it just always amazes me that "increased security" forces work arounds that in the end will decrease it. Forcing a developer to route all traffic through one hole in this manner so that they can actually keep things working basically sets up a huge clearinghouse
