Re: JSON import error

Android Oreo Infinite Boot Loop
Interfaces are beautiful and dangerous: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/mobile/android-oreo-adaptive-icons-bug-sends-thousands-of-phones-into-infinite-boot-loops/ "A bug in the new "Adaptive Icons" feature introduced in Android Oreo has sent thousands of phones into infinite boot loops, forcing some users to reset their devices to factory settings, causing users to lose data along the way." "The bug first manifested itself when the developer of the Swipe for Facebook Android app accidentally renamed the foreground image of his adaptive icon with the same name as this XML file (ic_launcher_main.png and ic_launcher_main.xml)."

Re: Relative Paths in Property Inspector
PR submitted:
https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pull/1817
For bug:
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17287
Not sure how it will be received, but it uses the pref to always use
absolute path names for images to decide whether to convert a path to
relative.

Announcing our first Livecode app in the iOS App Store
I am excited to announce the release of Ascriva Health Informatics' first app for iPhone and iPad in the App Store. The app was developed using Livecode. Many thanks for the knowledge and support that I have received here as we worked towards this first product release. ICD-10-CM is the classification system used to code diagnoses and reasons for healthcare encounters in the United States. The ICD-10-CM-2018 app allows healthcare providers to quickly find diagnosis codes, create a library of frequently-used codes and automatically search the Web for related information. To celebrate the launch of the app, it is available for FREE in the App Store until November 8. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icd-10-cm-2018/id1296363233 Best wishes, Henry https://www.ascriva.com -- Sent from: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Revolution-User-f278306.html ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Xcode 9.1 support
There has been a serious performance issue (related to OpenGL) with the iOS simulators under Xcode 9.0, to the point that they are so slow as to be unusable for testing. This has been widely commented on elsewhere and is not an LC-related problem. This issue is now fixed in Xcode 9.1, released today. However LC 8.1.7 (stable) does not support Xcode 9.1. When I try to point LC 8.1.7 towards Xcode 9.1 is declines to link, claiming "The chosen folder is not a valid iOS SDK". Do we need an update to obtain compatibility with Xcode 9.1? If so, would it be possible to get this out soon as I have had to suspend testing of iOS apps under development because of the simulator issues when using Xcode 9.0 and 9.0.1.

Re: Why is everything in the IDE so tiny?
There are other things you can do. In the preferences, Under the "Object Sizes" pane, you can set the default sizes of all controls. This is similar to setting the template(control) to your own style, that virtual object being able to set defaults on any property available to the control.
