One of the beautiful things about making GUIs in LiveCode is that we

Richard,
Been down this road. Ticking the "Background Audio" option sets
UIBackgroundModes key to "audio" as well as setting
UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend=False to keep you app active. If you are not
actually playing background audio then you will get rejected. The way to do
this is to edit the app.

After reading closer:
1) Make sure that the "Background Audio" is un-ticked.
2) Do the "plist hack" as enumerated in my last email.
3) This is all I do and have never been rejected for the "Background Audio"
issue.
4) I have never tried to submit to the store with v9. This might be a v9
issue.

Thanks for the info, Ralph. I had figured out the exit-on-suspend issue
previously. In my last app submission, I completely removed the entire section

I just looked at the info.plist from my last app that Apple approved.

2) the UIBackgroundModes key looks like what you see.

TMHO, this could be a feature request rather than a bug report.
The zeros in the number format determine the num of characters
and "-" is one.
Also we have -0 = 0. So what about "-01:-00:-00" ??

The time format is irrelevant. It just so happens I have a function for
calculating the difference in time, and when the first character is a - I know
the end time is earlier than the start time, which was what I was checking for.
And I think you are mistaken. numberFormat sets the format for n

Then you mean -(01:00:00) and not (-01):(00):(00), quite different.
AFAIK most languages do such time evaluations as follows
1) compute the time in seconds,
2) convert its absolute value to time format, and
3) if negative,
