Re: IPad Mini reports "not supported

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Surprise, at least this is new news for some of us: assuming the device 
supports one or another, all those services are indeed actually available, 
whether you check those boxes or not or so I'm told via another grapevine. 

ergo: you only want to check them in the SA builder if your app really, really 
MUST have those functions. So you are making an "up down" decision that you so 
not what your app installed on any device that will not support those functions.

So for example, if you think it's good that the user can use a flash when they 
take a photo, but not mission critical to your app's functionality… then, well, 
that's already included on those devices that have a flash = do nothing in the 
SA builder… if they put your app on an iPad that does not have advanced camera 
features, they just don’t a flash. 

GPS and some other mobile features will be trickier.  let's say have, as we do, 
an app that can do all kinds of "tricks" you do want the users to be able to 
install on any device, but you do also need to find out what capabilities there 
are, so …  this means a bit more preopenstack 'forensics" on the device … so I 
headed off the dictionary…so, there are tools for this job:  

mobileCanTrackLocation

oddly for some reason, even though GPS I in the summary, a search for "GPS" in 
tinyDictionary did not return this entry… on a hunch, I searchedLocation and 
then scanned for the mobile commands and found it.

I've been having a similar problem with an app that I just never got around
to debugging. After looking at that device compatibility matrix, I think my
problem is that GPS is selected as a required provision (trying to get
latitude/longitude from user when a certain function is executed).

Is it safe to assume removing GPS from Required but instead adding Location
Services will allow this app to install on iPads AND still give me
latitude/longitude?

The camera-flash in not supported on any of the iPad minis, or the iPad
12.9 inch.

See these tables:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeviceInformation/Reference/iOSDeviceCompatibility/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix/DeviceCompatibilityMatrix.html

So removing "camera-flash" from the requirements section of the iOS
Standalone Settings should fix the problem.

Re: IPad Mini reports "not supported

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I'm told by support the problem is I turned on Camera Flash


that is not available on these iPad cameras.

We will see if turning this off fixes it for the next round.

According to the Compatibility list in the App store, you are also not 
compatible with the 12.9-inch Pro, any iPad Air and just simply "IPad".

Why not? Missing splash screen?
