Re: Interface Resolution
Peter, thank you for the information about changing the scale of the IDE user interface. You mentioned that if I put a script somewhere to affect the IDE stacks that it should work. I looked up the IDE stacks as per your directions. Thanks for those. I do not know where a good somewhere to put such a script would be. Is there a directory that gets its scripts execute upon running the IDE? Or can I put it anywhere and take other action to have it run with the IDE startup? Thanks. ___ 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
Standalone failures
I'm trying to build standalones from 9.6.1 business and cannot get the Mac version to succeed. The process goes through the normal lot of "saving" and "building" bits but it eventually turns up an alert that says "There was an error while saving the standalone application Adding the ad-hoc signature failed with error: [path]: replacing existing signature xcrun error: Invalid developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: [path]: the codesign_allocate helper tool cannot be found or used In subcomponent: [path]/tsNet.bundle" The same thing happens after I turned off the automatic inclusions option and selected no inclusions. (Windows standalones build fine.) Do I need to have XCode installed to build a Mac standalone nowadays, or is there some other problem with my Mac (Mojave 10.14.6)?

Google explains it here: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/apksigner Apps already published in the Play Store can continue to use the v1 scheme, created with keytool, because updates aren't possible if the signature changes. But new apps should use the v2 scheme which is done with apksigner. I got a little lost in that web page when determining what the variables should be in the terminal command. Some guidance on that would be helpful. I do remember when I created the signature for an app a few months ago, I got a warning that I was using v1 and I should consider using v2 instead, but Google did not reject the app with the v1 signature. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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
Re: Android PlayStore Warning APK v1 signature scheme
Good question. I'm not 100% sure, but if I'm correct you can update. So I don't think the keypair will change. I've not had the error you have, and I've updated with lc961 which uses the correct target. So i made the normal keystore and did the thing as in the previous mail and had no problems as far as i know. Only thing is lc accepts only .keystore. Most probably as long the reversed dns name com.appname.blabla is not changed and you increase the version nr, also when an app is wrong or declined, then it should go ok.

Re: Big Sur hangs when printing
This BigSur printing bug happens when you "open printing with dialog” and has been confirmed by Panos. Drop the “with dialog” and you can print. I don’t know at this point if the issue is with LC or with Apple. In the event that it doesn’t get fixed by the time BigSur is released, I want to have a stand-by work-around by creating my own print dialog. I see that I can get a list of all the installed printers and can get the currently selected printer - easy enough to take care of printer selection. What I don’t seem to be able to do is access any “Presets" that the user may have configured (paper tray etc). Is that out of our reach? printerFeatures and printerSettings do not seem to cover it.

Re: The iOS "Files" folder
Apple has already provided a way forward for this. Their current best practice is for apps to store files in their Documents folder in iCloud. This provides seamless access between multiple devices and data security since it is not tied to the app remaining installed. I briefly looked at the dev docs on this and it does take some work to integrate. The most complicated piece will be detecting and resolving conflicts. I think it would be a good feature request just not sure how to do the conflict resolution piece. The mechanics of putting and getting a file are not that bad.
