Re: Testing iOS apps on attached device

Hi Ben, If you can successfully install the standalone using Xode (by dragging it onto the "Applications" field of your device), but you cannot do the same using the "Test" button, then this is probably a bug in mergDeploy (which is used by the "Test" button. So I suggest you file a report.

I agree for the most part. At this point, my hope is that people will clean the slate and kick everyone currently in office to the curb. Won't happen of course. Honestly though, I don't see how ANY politician, no matter how well intention-ed can get through the process of attaining office

Folks: Because livecode is so relevant for education, I suppose this is a reasonable discussion for the users list. So, I will add another 2 cents. One of the most interesting ideas I’ve heard recently, in education, is the idea that it’s very important to emphasize the “struggle” to learn. If

Re: Breakpoint

Yes. First, clear all breakpoints from the Debug menu of the Script Editor. Next, in a script editor window, towards the bottom, there is a Breakpoints tab. If any breakpoints remain, delete them. Save your app, quit and relaunch LC. Breakpoints *should* trigger normally again. If that does

Behaviors

Hi all. I've decided to start in on behaviors now as I have so much code that is effectively identical. So I took the code from a menu/button with a menuPick handler and put it in another button, then set the behavior of the first button to the long id of the second. I then set a breakpoint
