Re: Trouble getting Browser Widget to work on iOS

Hi Bill - I had similar problems last week. Assuming you have the browser widget inclusion checked then the other thing to look for is whether there are any mobile scrollers on the screen that overlap with the location of the widget as they appear to interfere with it being rendered. If this is

Browser Widget question

I am using the browser widget on iOS. I can load and display one URL. But, if I set another URL, it doesn’t load. Are there commands I should give to unset the old URL and refresh to the new one? I have it working in the IDE, but on IOS, only the first URL will load. Another one has now effect.

Re: ANN: *** targetSdkVersion requirements Android ***

One problem this may introduce is that from Android 6 onwards you’re expected to only ask permission to use features at the time the user reaches that part of your app, like it has always been on iOS. I wrote about publishing to Android before Android 6, I’m not sure how that gets handled. Are

Trouble getting Browser Widget to work on iOS

I’ve been having trouble getting the browser widget to work in ios. I’m in livecode 9.0.0 Business edition. It works fine in the IDE, but won’t load on the iPhone. I’m wondering if I could have left out any required inclusions. No help in the dictionary for that, tho. I’ve added everything

Hi Randy, Yes, but we will have fixed this issue before iOS 12 goes public. Currently iOS 12 is in beta, so more or less these issues are expected. This is the purpose of beta releases anyway. Best, Panos -- On Wed, Jul 25, 2018 at 10:43 PM, Randy Hengst via use-livecode <

I had tried some in the past, and so re-downloaded those, and also downloaded other free ones. Think I have five now. All of them settle on the splash screen, flash briefly to a black screen, do the 3D spin, then either went to a black screen and stayed there, or quit out to the iOS home

Yes, enabling acceleratedRendering in the preOpenStack does allow the app to launch in iOS 12! I was not able to actually install the app directly to the device from LiveCode (got a generic "Error" message) so I had to uninstall 12, install the app under 11, then upgrade back to 12 (public
