Check which license you are using. You may need Pro features (Business) to use 
SFTP, so if you're using an older Indy type license that could be the problem.

SFTP Woes

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Greetings!

I am trying to use SFTP to download some data from a server.   On both Mac and 
Windows, I get:

sftp protocol not supported in this version

I have tried LC 9.6.10, 10.0.0 (rc 2), and 9.6.13.   All versions report the 
same result.  Is sftp not supported in LC, or have I neglected to flip some bit?

Re: iOS App Crashing On Close

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Mark,

Thank you for the reply and thoughts!   I am not using closeStack or 
closeStackRequest anywhere in my project.   I am using shutdown and 
shutdownRequest but those calls have not changed since moving from 10.0.0 (dp 
8) to 10.0.0 (rc1).   Also, I am not using mergeNotify (or have it included) in 
the build.

Maybe Panos will have some ideas?

Hi Dan,

Just a random thought that might help orient you to a potential problem… how 
are you handling the closeStackRequest (or closeStack) message? “Quit” in a 
button obviously bypasses these. Odd that the problem would just start showing 
up in 10.0.0 although I do remember reading somewhere that the implementation 
of Monte’s mergeNotify which contained the message 
UIApplicationWillResignActiveNotification had been revised at some point, but 
can’t find any reference to it now.  Sorry if that doesn’t help. Just some 
random thoughts that popped into my head while reading of your problem.

iOS App Crashing On Close

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I have an app that has been humming along just fine in the app store.  I 
updated the app to 10.0.0 (rc1) and it’s now in TestFlight.   When I close the 
app from the OS (swipe up from bottom of phone and then swipe app up to exit 
it), I get this message:

“MyAppName” – Crashed
Do you want to share additional information with the developer?

Details about the crash in TestFlight (date, time, build, device model, etc.) 
seem useless.   I looked at the crash log in Xcode, but it too seems to just 
list the threads and hex values.  For example, the highlighted red line in the 
Crash List (in Xcode) shows:   MyAppName: 0x104a6c000 + 634716

Interesting thing is if I call “quit” in a button, I don’t get the crash.

Any thoughts?

Re: [ ANN ] Release 9.6.13 RC-1

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

// We are pleased to announce the release of LiveCode 9.6.13 RC-1.

This is certainly great news!   Is there a parallel version for LC 10 coming?   
I have a number of projects that I have been using 10.0.0 (dp-8).   Is LC 10 
being abandoned?   If so (or even if not), it feels like 9.6.X seems to be the 
LC’s preferred version?   Can I take a project built in 10 and move it to 9 
without worry?   What’s in 10 that’s not in 9??

Thanks in advance,

LiveCode 10 and Xcode 15

Just posted an app update to the iOS app store and I got this message:

Starting April 29, 2024, all iOS and iPadOS apps must be built with the iOS 17

Store Connect or submitted for distribution.

I am using LC Version 10.0.0 (dp-7).  User Guide says update XCode 14.  Is 
XCode 15 compatible with LC Version 10.0.0 (dp-7)?   And will that resolve the

Re: Cursor Placement in MobileControl

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Thank you for the suggestion!   That worked out well!   For anyone interested, 
here’s the snippet for formatting a phone number as you type in a mobile native 
field control:

//this assumes that the mobileControl type for Android is “multiline” and the 
mobileSetKeyboardType has been set to “email”

on inputTextChanged
  put mobileControlTarget() into pField
  put mobileControlGet(pField,"text") into pText

  if pField = "phoneNumber" then
put "" into fText
put numbersOnly(pText) into pText

if char 1 of pText = "1" then
  put "" into fText
  mobileControlSet "phoneNumber","text",fText
  androidGoLastChar "phoneNumber",fText
  put fText into dataEntered["phone"]
  exit inputTextChanged
end if

if the number of chars in pText < 4 then
  put pText into fText
  mobileControlSet "phoneNumber","text",fText
  androidGoLastChar "phoneNumber",fText
else
  if (the number of chars in pText > 3) then
put "(" & char 1 to 3 of pText & ")" into char 1 to 3 of fText
put " " & char 4 to 6 of pText after fText
  end if
  if the number of chars in pText > 6 then
put "-" & char 7 to 10 of pText after fText
  end if

  mobileControlSet "phoneNumber","text",fText
  androidGoLastChar "phoneNumber",fText
end if
  end if
end inputTextChanged

function numbersOnly pNum
  //returns only the numbers in pNum
  put "" into fNum
  repeat for each char c in pNum
if isNumber(c) then
  put c after fNum
end if
  end repeat

  return fNum
end numbersOnly

on androidGoLastChar mControl,xText
  if ("Android" is in the platform) then
mobileControlSet mControl,"selectedRange",(the number of chars in xText+1,0)
  end if
end androidGoLastChar

Hello Dan,

I take it you are formatting the text in inputTextChanged?

Unfortunately yes, on Android calling

mobileControlSet "phoneNumber","text", pText

puts the cursor in the beginning of the text:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24055

RE using the selectedRange with mobile native controls, I think this
property is supported only on multiline input fields. So I suppose you
could make the fields to be multiline and give it a try.

Kind regards,
Panos

Cursor Placement in MobileControl

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I am trying to create a field on mobile (iOS and Android) that will format a 
phone number as your type (client request).  I am able to do this on iOS as the 
command: mobileControlSet "phoneNumber","text",pText puts the cursor AFTER the 
text so the user can simply continue typing.  But, on Android, the cursor is 
placed at the beginning of the text after the mobileControlSet command is 
called.   Is there a way to set the position of the cursor on a native mobile 
text field?

I did notice that the Android Native Field widget has a selectedRange property. 
 Can I use this property on a native Android control?  And, can I set the 
selectedRange to “16,15” to set the cursor location, not select text?

Why not just use the Android Native Field widget, you ask?   I will if I have 
to… but I prefer to use the native control as it is cross-platform and I don’t 
need to case out for which platform we’re on.  You would need to create the 
control and hide the widget for iOS and show the widget for Android.  I’ll also 
have to case out the setting  and getting of the text as they have different 
methods.  I’ll do this if I have to, but I’d rather have a single code set and 
not have to manage/update separate methods.   I would use the standard LC 
field, but client wants the standard hold->popupMenu->paste command to work.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Re: Crashing on M2 Mac

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

To all,

Oops!  I am mistaken…. It wasn’t MacOS that had the issue, it was iOS 17 that 
was problem.   iOS app built with 9.6.10 running on iOS 17 crashes when the 
convert command is called.  I can (in my experience) absolutely confirm this.  
Debugged it down to the single line of code.  Rebuilt the app with 10.0.0 (dp 
6) and the issue was solved.

Apologies for posting the wrong platform.

-Dan

Hello all,

We are not aware of any bug in the "convert" command, and I think it is
highly unlikely such a bug to affect M2 machines but not M1 ones.

We have a M2 machine running Sonoma which is used in the prerelease testing
so my feeling is that if there was such a bug, we would have caught it in
the prerelease testing of 9.6.11 rc1, which included a fix related to the
system date on Sonoma. Also, a related report we got about the convert
command - but turned out to be not a bug, is this one:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24362

BTW, the crash report that is attached in the first post indicates that the
app was running under Rosetta (> Code Type:X86-64 (Translated))

@Peter
If you have a reproducible recipe please do file a bug report and include
your app or a sample stack - I can give it a try in my Sonoma M2 mac mini.

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Crashing on M2 Mac

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Peter,

I recently discovered (from one of my own apps) that a Mac app built with 
9.6.10 running on Sonoma crashes when the convert command is called.  I rebuilt 
the app in 10.0.0 (dp 6) and the app no longer crashes.   Hope that helps!

A user is reporting crashing on his M2 Sonoma Mac.

This was a build of LC 9.6.10, with both Intel and Apple chosen in the  
Standalone settings.

It did not crash with only Apple chosen, though there were script errors that 
did not happen with non-M2 users (M1 is OK). I haven’t been able to debug that 
since I don’t have an M2 Mac.

Has anyone used LC with M2?

Re: Deployment: a plea/opportunity

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

+1

I obviously agree!I finally got my Mac app uploaded to the Mac Store (and 
approved)… but what a pain!!!   There are SO many steps that could easily be 
done by LiveCode that they have chosen to omit.   Simple things like generating 
the .ipa for iOS (this is a simple command line), having a place to enter the 
permission strings for Mac Desktop apps (this is a pain because you must build 
the app, then grab the generated plist, edit it, then include it in your app 
settings and then build it again.  Not hard, but this is something LC should 
provide in the Application Settings Window.  On that note, the 
“LSApplicationCategoryType” key (and category key) is not included in the 
generated plist.  I had to add it manually.  Apparently, this is now required.  
 I’m sure the great minds at LC could find a way to sign your app if you have 
the correct files installed and “fill in the blanks”.  They could probably do 
justified text too, but I won’t get into that!!  :)

Yes, this is hard to keep up with.  But isn’t that the whole point of a product 
like LiveCode?  The product is supposed to do the dirty work for you.

Although usually at the last second… LC is pretty good when it comes to keeping 
up with requirements with Apple and Android when the problem causes you to not 
be able to submit to the app stores or OS incompatibilities.  But in the case 
of the above examples, there are workarounds.  So, you are on your own.

I give up! Mac App Installer Hell

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

If you have a very, very, VERY good understanding of creating Mac installer 
files to be posted to a website for user install, and to submit to the Mac App 
Store, I would like to pay you to walk me through all this - step by step.  I 
can’t take any of more this crap!  Certificates, Identifiers, Profiles, p12 
Files, Keys (public and private), Provisioning, Installer keys… G!!!  I 
have an app that is tested, built and ready to go.  Just need to get it signed 
and uploaded to Apple.   If you understand all this, I would think a 20 minute 
Skype call should get it done.

FYI… This is an update to an existing app that is already in the app store.  
(Don’t ask me how I got it done last time?!).  I don’t know why my brain can’t 
grasp this…. I have read Apple’s documentation, tried the (out of date) LC 
Lesions, watched videos, and gone through article after article.   At this 
point, I am not really interested in learning how to do this… I just want to 
get it done.

Save me!

Jacqueline,

Thank you for the reply.  I don’t think suspend and resume are going to help… 
If the app is playing music (in the foreground or the background) and the user 
brings up the list of running apps and swipes up to remove it, how can I trap 
that the app is being closed and stop playing music?

Shutdown on Android

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Does the shutdown message (or shutdownRequest message) work on Android?   I am 
playing a song using androidStartAudioPlayingInBackground.   However, if the 
app is closed (swiping up to exit it), then the audio continues to play.  So, I 
added an androidStopAudioPlayingInBackground command in the shutdown message to 
stop playing the audio.  But doesn’t seem to work – audio continues to play.

Any thoughts?

Subject: Re: Oddities with iOS IAP
Hello Dan,

Just a rough guess, in the purchaseStateUpdate msg, you have:

 mobileStoreConfirmPurchase pProductID //Inform the store that the purchase
identifier productID was successfully delivered
 mobileStoreDisablePurchaseUpdates

in both cases for paymentReceived and restored.

Could you try commenting out the mobileStoreDisablePurchaseUpdates in these
2 cases? Once you call mobileStoreConfirmPurchase, it informs the store
that the purchase was successful, and then the store sends another
"purchaseStateUpdate" with state=complete.

But if you call mobileStoreDisablePurchaseUpdates just after
mobileStoreConfirmPurchase then this stops the communication with the
store. I suggest having mobileStoreDisablePurchaseUpdates just in the
"complete" case and remove it from "paymentReceived" and "restored".

Note that on Android (if I remember correctly)
mobileStoreEnablePurchaseUpdates/mobileStoreDisablePurchaseUpdates do not
actually do something - but they are added for consistency.

If you do this change, and still see the delay, then it is likely a
TestFlight/Sandbox issue. Note that Apple's sandbox servers are slower than
the actual ones used by StoreKit.
(e.g.
https://community.revenuecat.com/sdks-51/testflight-clicking-subscriptions-or-iaps-has-long-delay-2687

  if numCredits = 1 then
put 1001 into productID
put "$0.99" into productAmount
  else if numCredits = 2 then

put "$1.99" into productAmount
  else if numCredits = 3 then
put 1003 into productID
put "$2.99" into productAmount
  else if numCredits = 11 then
put 1011 into productID
put "$9.99" into productAmount
  end if

  //confirm with user
  if numCredits = 1 then
put "Are you sure you want to purchase 1 credit for" && productAmount & "?"

Hello Dan,

Could you share the code that makes the purchase, as well as the
purchaseStateUpdate message?

Although, my guess is that this is rather a TestFlight issue, since if it
was an issue in LC's API for in-app purchase on iOS, it would have been
reported
ready.

Kind regards,

Oddities with iOS IAP

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I am getting some inconsistent results with in in app purchases from the iOS 
App Store.   In the TestFlight dev environment, the purchase “seems” to be 
complete…  I get all the normal iOS prompts to purchase the product, enter the 
password, etc.  I even get the “You’re All Set.  Your purchase was successful.” 
message.  But, most of the time the purcahseStateUpdate message is never 
received.  (Yes!  I am calling mobileStoreEnablePurchaseUpdates before anything 
else).

Also, after calling mobileStoreMakePurchase, there is quite a pause before you 
get the “confirm purchase” dialog… I mean like 7 to 10 seconds.  And, after you 
make the purchase (and you hear the ‘ding’), there is another 4-5 second pause 
before the “Your purchase was successful” message.   Is that normal?

Any thoughts, insights or advise?   Maybe this is a TestFlight dev environment 
thing?

FWIW, I have no issues on Android.  Google Play store is working as expected – 
every time.

-Dan

Panos,

Again, thank you for your help!   mobileStoreProductProperty works beautifully! 
  As for the lesson, it’s not that it could have been better, it’s actually 
pretty good (as most LC lessons are).  It’s just that it needs to be updated to 
reflect newer methods and procedures.

Given how long your todo list is, I appreciate the time you always take to help 
me, and all the others out.  It’s GREATLY appreciated!

Hello Dan,

Thanks for the update.

RE 1, I *think* yes, but I would suggest you double check this anyway.

RE 2, I would suggest not using mobilePurchaseGet(). This function is from
the older API for in-app purchases, and we have kept it for backwards
compatibility. I suggest using mobileStoreProductProperty (productID,
propertyName) instead. In fact, using mobileStoreProductProperty
(productID, "purchaseToken") is what you need in this use-case.

RE the lessons, yes, they could have been better. I'll add this to my
(long!) todo list :)

Kind regards,
Panos

Re: Consumable In App Purchases on Android

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos and others…

First, thank you for your assistance and advise with this.   Panos’ suggestions 
were spot on!Restoring the purchases, then calling 
mobileStoreConsumePurchase worked for consumption.   And, adding a “complete” 
case to purchaseStateUpdate and handeling the mobilePurchaseGet() as well as 
the mobileStoreConsumePurchase worked beautifully.   A couple of follow up 
questions…

1 - Does the “complete” case get returned with the Apple Store as well?
2 – Is there a way to get the purchase token from mobilePurchaseGet() on 
Android?   The “transactionIdentifier” returns the order number, not the 
purchase token.  The purchase token is needed to verify the purchase server 
side.

Lastly, it would be terrific if the lesson on the LC website was updated to 
these options/methods.   It might save the next guy some grief.

Hello all,

Also, it might be worth trying this as well - add a new button with this
code:

on mouseUp
   mobileStoreEnablePurchaseUpdates
   mobileStoreRestorePurchases
end mouseUp

Then press the button, and *then* call mobileStoreConsumePurchase pProductID .
Hopefully now it should be properly consumed, and you should be able to buy
it (and consume it) again.

Cheers,

  else if numCredits = 11 then
put 1011 into productID
put "$9.99" into productAmount
  end if

  //confirm with user
  if numCredits = 1 then

  //initiate the purchase
  mobileStoreEnablePurchaseUpdates
  mobileStoreSetProductType productID,"inapp"

If I’m consuming instantly, this is the code working in my Android/iOS project

if tPlatform = "android" then

Re: Consumable In App Purchases on Android

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Thank you for the reply.   Unfortunately, this isn’t working for me… maybe I’m 
doing something wrong?  Product ID is “1001”.  I was able to purchase that 
product no problem.  If I attempt to purchase it again, I get “alreadyEntitled”.

In a button I put:

on mouseUp
mobileStoreConsumePurchase 1001
answer the result
end mouseUp

The result is empty (I assume that is success).  Then, I attempt to purchase 
1001 and again I get “alreadyEntitled”.

I then tried (just guessing at what I need to do as the docs are very vague on 
how to use it):

on mouseUp
mobileStoreEnablePurchaseUpdates
mobileStoreSetProductType 1001,"inapp"
mobileStoreConsumePurchase 1001
answer the result
end mouseUp

Again, result is empty and an attempt to purchase 1001 again, gets 
“alreadyEntitled”.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello Dan,

I think Google no longer differentiates between consumables and
non-consumables when setting up the in-app product - they are both marked
as "In-App Products”. However, in LiveCode, you have to call
mobileStoreConsumePurchase pProductID to be able to buy the product again -
otherwise you get a "alreadyEntitled" status.

If you do this, and still get "alreadyEntitled", then you have to ensure
that the pProductID param passed to mobileStoreConsumePurchase indeed
matches exactly the product id of the product you set up in the google dev
console.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Panos

Consumable In App Purchases on Android

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Does anyone have any experience with consumable in-app purchases on Android?   
I can’t seem to figure out how to (1) create a consumable product, and (2) how 
to consume it.   mobileStoreConsumePurchase pProductID doesn’t seem to function 
right… I get back a result that is “true”, but attempting to purchase the same 
product, returns “alreadyEntitled”.

The “How do I implement in-app purchases in LiveCode - Google Play Store?” 
lesson says:  click "In-App Products” and click “Add new product”.  From there, 
follow the instructions to create the type of in-app purchase you wish to use.

In Google Play Console > Monitize > In-App Products > Create Product, there 
isn’t a place to select the type of in-app purchase.

Any insight or instructions you may have would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Android Signing

Hey Ralph and everyone who will read this (now and in the future)…

We FINNALLY got this solved!   So, as you know, Google changed PEPK and they no 
longer supply the Signing Key.  Using their new method with PEPK, we got error 
after error after error!  What finally worked was installing version 17.0.6+10 
of OpenLogic’s OpenJDK version of Java.  We specifically used this version on 
our Windows computer:  
https://builds.openlogic.com/downloadJDK/openlogic-openjdk-jre/17.0.6+10/openlogic-openjdk-jre-17.0.6+10-windows-x64.msi).
  This version of Java has the appropriate encryption libraries needed for the 
PEPK Tool that other versions of Java didn’t include.

Thank you for the reply.  That is EXACLY what I am doing.  I downloaded the
public key and the PEPK tool.  Pointed the command to the existing keystore
file and got this error: "Cannot find any provider supporting
RSA/NONE/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding..."  It looks like there is an error in

Anyone done this?  If so, do you have any guidance on this?

I had to do this last week with an update to an existing published app on
Google Play. Do you have your original signing key for the app? You'll need
that first. Sign your app as usual with the original key.

Then look at this:
<https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#enroll_existing>

I can't review the necessary Terminal command because I already went through
the process and it isn't available to me now. But originally it gave the

Re: Android Signing

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Ralph,

Thank you for the reply.  I have an old version of the pepk.jar from about a 
year ago… didn’t even try it as I figured it could not be used.  I’ll give it a 
try… but, where did you/I get the encryptionkey?  SomeVeryLongHexString?

Dan,

This is how I did it. NOTE: pepk-v1.jar is just my name for the version that
worked. I can post this version if you would like to try it?

Actual output from win 10 command line: (names changed to protect the
innocent)
---
java -jar pepk-v1.jar --keystore=MyKeyStore.keystore
--alias=AppKeyStoreAilias --output=z:\SomPath\encryptedKey.key
--encryptionkey=SomeVeryLongHexString

Enter password for store 'MyKeyStore.keystore':

Enter password for key 'AppKeyStoreAilias':
--

I then had encryptedKey.key file created.

Jacqueline,

Thank you for the reply.  That is EXACLY what I am doing.  I downloaded the
public key and the PEPK tool.  Pointed the command to the existing keystore
file and got this error: "Cannot find any provider supporting
RSA/NONE/OAEPWithSHA1AndMGF1Padding..."  It looks like there is an error in
the PEPK tool.  "/NONE/" is not a supported encryption!   I would think it
would be "/AES/".

Anyone done this?  If so, do you have any guidance on this?

I had to do this last week with an update to an existing published app on
Google Play. Do you have your original signing key for the app? You'll need
that first. Sign your app as usual with the original key.

Then look at this:
<https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/app-signing#enroll_existing>

I can't review the necessary Terminal command because I already went through
the process and it isn't available to me now. But originally it gave the
command to generate the Play Store signing key. I already had a pepk.jar
file from before and I used that. I put it into the same directory with Java
because I didn't know how else to do it.

The Terminal command Google provided starts like this:
java -jar pepk.jar --keystore= --alias= --output= --encryptionkey=

At what point are you getting the errors? My main issue was in getting
Terminal to find Java, it took me a couple of hours and some research to get
the path to Java to work. I know almost nothing about Terminal.

Let us know where you get stuck, though I can't promise I can help. I
congratulate Google on making Android submissions nearly as difficult as
iOS. We need an LC lesson this this.

Android Status Bar Icon

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Greetings!   I am seeing inconsistent results on the status bar icon on 
Android.  On some devices (most running Android 9), the icon that appears in a 
push message is a white or grey square.  I have tried using a 24x24 PNG for the 
Status Bar Icon and I also tried a 512x512.   Another device running Android 
10, displays the image just fine (at either size).  Is there an image size that 
I should be using?  Or are there incompatibility with LC and Android 9?

Anyone have any insight to this issue?

Re: Android Push Messaging issue

Panos,

Thank you for the reply.  Yes, I have seen that lesson – many times.  I have 
everything in place, and I have downloaded and installed the json file.  It’s 
not that the app isn’t getting the push message, it’s that the device isn’t 
getting the message – at all!  If the app is or is not launched, the device 
isn’t getting the message.  Even though Google says it’s been successfully sent.

FYI… I have another app that is using FB and it’s working fine.

Thank you!

Android Push Messaging issue

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I am stumped!I have an app that where push messaging is working fine using 
Legacy Cloud Messaging (and LC 9.6.2).  I have setup the new Firebase Cloud 
Messaging and downloaded the new “google-services.json” file and included it in 
my updated standalone (LC 10.0.0).  The app when launched on a device is 
registering a valid token.   When I use the Firebase Cloud Messaging test tool 
(and include the token from my app) it says a message was sent successfully but 
was not received on the device.   Any thoughts?

FYI… Sending from our server gives the same result:  sent successfully, but no 
push to the physical device.

If it matters, both Firebase Cloud Messaging API and the Legacy Cloud Messaging 
services are enabled (because the non-Firebase app is still being used in 
production).

Hello Dan,

i am not sure what exactly your problem is.

Do you just not  see the any SDK Tools listed on the tab or do you just not see 
the version that you want to install?
If the latter then "enable" the option "show package details". This will show

Custom URL on Android

I have an Android app that I am launching from a webpage via the custom URL on

 The app launches and I get the param to act upon.   However, if launch the app 
through a java script, then the browser displays a white “sheet” with the app’s 
icon and doesn’t do anything else.

Note: on iOS the launch from Java script works fine.

Any thoughts?

Re: Transporter Issue

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

No, that’s not it.   It’s a match.. it’s EXATLY how it is in the profile and in 
the certificate.  FWIW, I have uploaded this app before, I am trying to upload 
an update to an existing app.  So, I didn’t even change the app ID (just the 
version number).   I did have to update the certificate as it had expired.  But 
that’s it.   Of course, since it wasn’t working, I have revoked and recreated 
everything… still getting the same message in Transporter.   I always felt that 
LC wouldn’t properly build the app if all the “pieces” weren’t properly in 
place.  So, I am still stumped!

FYI… I built the original version of this app in 9.6.2 and am now updating the 
app using 10.0.0 (dp 5).  I have other apps that I built with 10.0.0 that were 
(and still are) working just fine.

iTunes connect? Maybe an uppercase/lowercase mismatch?

Kind regards,

Transporter Issue

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Does anyone have any insight to this problem?

I can create my app in 10.0.0 (dp 5) with no issue/warning/error of any kind.  
But, when I try to add it to Transported to upload to Apple, I get this error 
message:

Could not create a temporary .itmsp package for the app “application.ipa”.
Lookup application information from the web service failed.

I have other apps that don’t give this error when added to Transporter.  I 
think it’s probably a certificate or key issue, but I can’t see any issues or 
missing items.  Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!  I’m out of 
things to try…. Grrr…

Re: App not printing

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Marty,

I had a similar issue.   The only way to resolve the issue was to add the 
printing entitlements.   Apps uploaded to the Mac App Store must have the 
sandbox environment enabled, and for every functionality that needs to 
communicate with the "outside world" it needs the appropriate entitlement. See 
section 16 of lesson:

https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/876834-signing-and-uploading-apps-to-the-mac-app-store

In the entitlements list, you need to add the printing entitlement 
(com.apple.security.print).


Hope that helps!

-Dan

Re: Printing Woes

The common denominator seems to be a Macbook Air.

One client said:  "We are using on Macintosh computers (2021 Macbook Air and 
Mac Studio desktops) and are seeing that the Page Setup and Print buttons do 
not seem to do anything."

Another:  "I am getting more inquiries about teachers not being able to print. 
They can run RCM on their MacBook Air but they cannot print. Their macOS is 
10.14.6."

Another was on a MacBook Air (2017), macOS 12.6.

What do you mean by "Does the Console app show anything suspicious?"

Re: PDF Printing

Mark,

Genius!  I can't thank you enough...  That worked!  Make sure that the field 
that holds the text has a valid font name and isn't inheriting a system-level 
font.  That REALLY ought to be documented in the PDF routines in LC.

As long as I have your ear...   Whenever I call this, I get a blank page in the 
beginning of my PDF.  I have checked that I'm not printing a blank page and 
have debugged this to death!   Any thoughts on a blank page being included in a 
PDF?

Someone had a similar problem in the past (Paul or Klaus maybe?) - it 
turned out that it was because no explicit font was set on the stack (or 
controls) - meaning that it was using the macOS 'theme' font.

This isn't actually a 'discoverable' font in the various font related 
APIs - and appears to be (somewhat!) hard-coded in the various low-level 
Apple graphics rendering APIs.

The PDF printer does use the correct fonts and metrics - and CoreText 
(on macOS) to do font layout - but the actual PDF generation is done 
using a cross-platform library (so the output is the same on all 
platforms) which relies on getting the 'real' font data for the given 
font (which it does not in this case) and not macOS (CoreGraphics-based) 
printing. The latter appears to be able to deal with the 'magic' fonts 
(unsurprising as its all Apple stuff), but our pdf printer cannot.

If you set the stack to an explicit font then the problem should go 
away.

Alternatively, if this is a mac-only product, you can use macOS's PDF 
printing capability by setting the printerOutput property to 
"file:" - on macOS the latter will generate a PDF (i.e. its 
the same as choosing 'Save As PDF' from the printer dialog).

Hope this helps!

Mark.

Re: PDF Printing

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Thank you for your thoughts, but do you really think a font cache is the issue? 
  I have two computers in my office having this issue, and about a dozen Macs 
at my client's location -- that we know of so far!   If it were a font issue, 
do you think one print method would be successful, and another wouldn't?   If 
the font table was messed up, I would think it would be wacked for all methods. 
 No?

I could be wrong (I'm wrong all the time!) but, I think it's something in LC's 
internal PDF handling, or some property I need to set or reset.

If yes, what icons have you tried? I think colored icons are no longer

The icons have to be png images, and they need to be white on black or
transparent only, otherwise they display as a gray square area.

You can check some samples on the web, e.g. here:

Re: Audio in Background

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Just wanted you to know that adding “iphoneEnableRemoteControl” did the trick!  
 The app received the “remoteControlReceived” message and was able to act on 
that message even in the background.  Sweet!

Thank you!

Hello Dan

In fact this feature might be supported already.

If you have a look at the dictionary, there is the "iphoneEnableRemoteControl" 
command.

This is to enable remote control. Then, you can use "setRemoteControlDisplay" 
to update the metadata and such.

Then, you get "remoteControlReceived" events when the buttons in the remote 
control are pressed.

(remote control is the thingy in the Control Center)

Note that this code has not been tested recently. I'll have a play tomorrow and 
see if it still works.

Kind regards,
Panos

Happy Monday!   I am using the native player control (on both iOS and Android). 
 It's working quite well!   The only problem I have is that the background 
audio doesn't seem to honor this control.  If I play audio in a native browser, 
it works.   Is there something I need to set or do to get it to work?   I have

Re: Audio Control on Mobile?

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Alan,

Thank you for the info.  I know of the mobileSound items... but, it doesn't 
have all the commands we need.  For example, there is no method to start (or 
change) the sounds play position, or poll the sound for the current position.

My client wants to make a music playing app.  Need to replicate a music 
player... so, we need to keep our [custom] transport in sync with the sound.  
Stop, Start, Pause, Scrub, update current time and time remaining, etc.  EASY 
on desktop, can't seem to do this on mobile with LiveCode.

Signing With Apple on iOS Woes

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I am trying to user a browser widget to do a login with Apple.  When I load my 
page (that redirects to apple with the appropriate keys) on my desktop (in the 
IDE) it works perfect!   When I load the URL in the iOS Simulator, I get a 
browserDocumentLoadFailed message and the error is "navigation request 
cancelled" and then the page loads and seems to respond correctly.  However, on 
a actual iPhone, we get the browserDocumentLoadFailed with the error "The 
operation couldn't be completed. (NSUELErrorDomain error -999).

Anyone have any advice on this issue?

Emojis in Text

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I can't be the first to bring this up, so sorry if this has been asked 
already...

Is there a current solution for Emojis in text?  On a mobile device, in a 
native field, a user enters a emoji (no method to stop them that I can find).  
I save that text somewhere like a database.  When I load it back (into a LC 
field for display), it appears as a question mark.   What up?   Anyone have 
knowledge on this topic?   Is there a useEmojis property I don't know about?

Re: Loading a LONG list with images

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Tom,

Ok... I finally figured out the setting of dgNumberOfRecords and adding a 
GetDataForLine command.  So, the data is now loading. And, I am doing the check 
in FillInData to see if the image is loaded or not.  If it's not, I call 
getAndCachePreview with in turn does the download of the image.  The question 
is, when the download is complete where and how are you sending the message to 
refresh the row now that we have the image?

Thank you!
Dan

This ensures that the rendering of the grid does not get held up by the
download.  so the download happens in the background.

How do you do that?  What property do I set, or method is used to only load the 
displayed rows?

Tom's code snippet is a WONDERFUL start and I get the concept, but there are a 
bunch of missing parts that I'm not sure how (or where) to code.   Also, I 
don't know if it really matters or not, but Tom sent the code from his dg 
column, I am using a form DG.

So I've not got much to add to Tom's method

i.e. make sure the datagrid is only creating rows on demand, rather than 
up front, and then requesting images and updating them when they arrive

Beyond a suggestion to ensure the images which are being downloaded are 
already suitably sized/thumbnailed for display.

Decompressing images is a relatively expensive operation - decompressing 
and then downsizing them (thumbnailing) even more so.

So, if you control the webservice that is providing the images it would 
probably be worth making it so that the server can send you images at 
the size needed and do the thumbnailing on the server (caching the 
results alongside the original image on the server).

For maximum fidelity you want the width/height * the device pixel scale 
(which can vary from 1 to 3 these days).

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Loading a LONG list with images

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Does anyone have any answers to the issue of loading a long list with images so 
that it loads images "as needed" like a webpage does.

I have a DataGrid with several hundred rows.  Each row has a specific image 
that is to be displayed with that row (like a list of songs).  The image is 
loaded from the web.   Is there a method to load the DataGrid and only load the 
images for the rows that are shown?   And, when you scroll the grid, the images 
for the newly shown rows are then loaded.  The loading need to happen somehow 
without halting the scrolling or making it stutter. 

I hope that makes sense!
-Dan

Re: browserDocumentLoadComplete

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Glad to hear this will get resolved in the next release.  I hope that the 
Android "pan" issue (https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23245) and 
others like it also get resolved.  These are quite critical to everyday life on 
mobile.

FYI... I found a work-around for the browserDocumentLoadComplete issue... I 
simply save the data to a local file and load the file as the URL.  Problem 
solved.

Hello again :)

Correction: We do have a patch for this issue, but it needs refined to make
sure the new behavior is 'correct'/'better' than the current behavior, so
it might not make it into 10.0.0 DP-2.

But it is in our TODO list for LC 10.

Kind regards,

Re: Video Chat?

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Tom,

I just tried using whereby (via a php page we created) in LiveCode (the IDE) 
and its stuck on "Loading camera and audio...".   I've tried both the browser 
widget and the revBrowserOpen() method.  What versions of LC are you using?   
I'm on 9.6.5.  Do you have a sample stack that is working for you?

FWIW, the php page we made works perfectly is a browser on desktop and mobile.

Re: LC 9.5.6, Android and JSONToArray

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Panos,

Thank you for the reply.  Sorry about the typo... the versions are:

9.6.4 -- WORKING
9.6.5 -- NOT WORKING

And, yes.  I have "mergJSON" selected (as well as "JSON Library").

FYI... I only updated to 9.6.5 because Jacqueline mentioned bug 23245 might be 
resolved in 9.6.5.

Hello Dan,

Could you please confirm the working and non-working versions? There is no
9.5.6 or 9.5.4 version of LiveCode.

Also, to use JSONToArray() you have to include "mergJSON" in the
Inclusions, not  "JSON Library". The  "JSON Library" is needed for
"JSONImport" and "JSONExport" functions.

    Hope this helps.

Cheers,

LC 9.5.6, Android and JSONToArray

I just built an app for Android in 9.5.6.  I am finding that JSONToArray() 
isn't working.   I built the same app in 9.5.4, and JSONToArray() works just 
fine.  (Yes, I have "JSON Library" selected in the Inclusions in the Standalone

Any advice or knowledge would be appreciated.

DataGrid Edit Mode and Fixed Control Height

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

So, using the edit mode of a data grid is great!   When enabled, I can drag the 
hamburger icon to reoder the rows... easy!   But, if I set the "fixed control 
height" of the data grid to false, the hamburger icon no longer appears!  Same 
with the select icon for each row.   I have messed with the properties and code 
and can't seem to figure out how to get the draggable icon to appear when 
"fixed control height" is false.   Anyone know the solution or is this a 
limitation of the data grid?

Thanks in advance,

Count Up Timer?

Anyone ever done a count up timer?   For example, if we supply the seconds of 
1605553200, we want to display the number of years, months, days, hours, 
minutes and seconds since that time.   For example, "How long have you been 
alive?".   This needs to be precise – need to account for leap years, days in 
month, etc.

Save me!!   :)

Re: Custom URLs

Sean,

Thank you!   But, these solutions require that the Custom URL is added to the 
app at deployment.  Not going to work for my client.   I was looking to get an 
understanding as to why these URLs need to be in the pList.  Not sure of the 
reasoning behind this... I need to be able to explain to client why I can't 
deliver their desired functionalty.

Re: Custom URLs

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

Keith,

Thanks for the assist... In some cases a http call will open the mobile app if 
it's installed.  For example, https://m.facebook.com will launch the mobile 
app.  However, now with further testing, I have a new problem.  On android, if 
the app isn't installed it's not returning "no association".  The result is 
empty.  Must be a bug!  I'm using LC Business 9.6.2

Thank you!

Would it work well enough to use a regular https URL to the resource on 
Facebook? It would open in the user’s browser, but it may be enough.

Custom URLs

[Dan Friedman via use-livecode]

I need a little help here...

I am creating a mobile app for a client that wants to simply launch another 
app.  To do this, I am trying to use a custom url to launch an external app.  
For example:

launch url "fb:"

This works fine on Android, but on iOS, I get "no association" (yes, Facebook 
is installed).  Then I read that you have to enter the Custom URLs you want to 
use in the "App URL Query Whitelist" area in the Application Builder.   Is this 
true?   Why does the app have to know at compile time what URLs are going to be 
opened?  In my app's case, client can change and edit the list on a server, so 
the list of apps to launch are received by the our app at launch.

"mailto:";, "http:", "music:" and "tel:" all work just fine on iOS without being 
included in the App URL Query Whitelist.

Anyone have any insight to this process?

Thanks in advance!

Missing Private Key Woes

Has anyone tried mobilePickDate in LC 9.6.2?   On both a phone and tablet, you 
don't get a picker!   It popups a dialog that contains the date (or time).  
Then you have to tap the date/time and then you get the most tiny date (or 
time) editor.  Is this the new Apple Guidline for picking a date/time??   Can't 
be!   This must be a bug.   And, on an iPhone, it's so far to the bottom of the 
screen, it's barely usable!Anyone have any insight on this?

Hello Dan,

Rough guess, are you including a custom plist? If so, then this plist was
probably created by an older LC version, before storyboard support was
added. If this is the case, the (old) plist expects some splash images,
which are not in the app bundle, thus you see the black bars.

Kind regards,
