It was my understanding that iOS apps can’t even be created without a license from Apple. Mostly what I would want to share would be games I made for my grandson and he only uses iOS devices. I’ve never tried making a standalone for iOS, even for testing, because I didn’t think I could. Is

Couldn’t your stack hide the IDE stuff on launch and just have them install the community IDE? Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 26, 2021, at 10:46 PM, Roger Guay via use-livecode > wrote: > > In the good ol days, I could build a standalone for the Mac, Windows and > Linux and distribute it

Folks, That sounds pretty interesting. Wouldn’t that be doable by creating a splash stack the looked for a stack to launch in its folder. That stack would be the app. But I don’t know if a stand-alone compiled splash stack could call and run a raw xxx.livecode stack. Can it? Best, Bill

It sounds to me that what you want is a version of the development system without the ability to code or develop stacks. Is that what HyperCard Player did for hyperCard stacks? Richard should know of SuperCard could do it. JB > On Mar 26, 2021, at 6:33 PM, Alex Tweedly via use-livecode >

Has anyone thought of building a “legal” and “blessed" app for Mac, WIndows and Linux that would open standalones for for each of those platforms? Why put each of us through the agony (and expense) of shifting/changing requirements to be able to easily distribute standalones? Just as Microsoft
