Unfortunately client demand means I have to go there. We have just completed a grueling review process that required changing some of the silliest things to meet their (unreasonable, in my view) requirements. For example, we were rejected for sending the user to Safari to fill out a web-based tech support form; we had to change it to use an in-app browser. It took us 3 weeks and a series of updates to get acceptance. The identical Android app was accepted in 20 minutes without any issues.

Re: Animation Engine: speed tips
Here is a short video of a really nice ball animation of the Earth’s Carbon Cycle - which is the sort of thing I’d like to make a series of animations / interactive simulations about. There a re a few more than 30-40 moving balls here - but they are more or less dots…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwVsD9CiokY I wonder how many particles can be animated like this in Livecode...

Re: WebSites made using Livecode.
Hi Richard, Thank you very much for your rapid response. My customer asks me about a popular site created with Livecode because they would like to make sure that if I get hit by a car, or we have a problem, another company could maintain their website. I mean, they would like to be sure of their business continuum. I know, it is always the same story ... I have been making websites for twenty years and I want to do something different. I have never made a website with Livecode and I feel excited thinking about it. I feel very comfortable with Livecode and I don't want to start a customized web site using PHP or Python again. Sometimes it is not enough to do a good job, it is also important to have some fun doing it. Livecode allows me to think in a different way than I have using other programming languages, and that is like a drug that I can no longer stop. > What is a "modern" website? That's not a trick question, just curious what specific types of features you're looking for. A fully responsible website. > Because it gets the job done at low cost I understand it, but if we all don't start creating more things with Livecode, it will always be an exotic language without many job opportunities. More job opportunities will give us more community, more programming libraries, more documentation, etc. > In general, it's only worthwhile building custom software that doesn't already exist. Maybe we can rebuild those software using LiveCode. > LC can be a good choice when you have specialized needs not already addressed off-the-shelf. We use it into our company for that: internal apps. But I think that Livecode could give people again, the full control of their computer, and the gap between a programmer and a computer user would get narrower. Something like that happened in the 1980s. I have my own company in Spain, but I moved to NYC 2 years ago and I work as an IT director at an arts school in New York City. In our coding classes I see those teens dealing with Python and with the command console... It will be a dream for them to use livecode, but teachers refuse to use it because they told me it is not very spread.

Re: Apple Transporter for iOS uploads?
Thanks Jacque - I think I’ve still only got one Apple ID for everything. In the end Transporter timed out rather than rejecting my password. I tried it several times with the same result. I can still log on to my developer account. I have asked Apple and hopefully they will reply. I will report any progress. My iOS deployment issues seem endless. It is dispiriting.
