Hi folks, What is the current state of the art regarding LiveCode server IDE - searching around, this seems down to personal preference of text editor plus FTP? I'm Mac-based and looking to experiment with web services. Thanks and regards, Keith Sent from my iPad ___

I use the standard issue LC IDE to edit the server script, do a "Ctrl S" and use either a web disk or VPN to drag the saved file to the server. Then I test my web service in the currently opened IDE. Fast debug cycle. Easy-peezy... Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@ev

Keith, As a follow up... If you have a web server with LC installed running on your local machine then just a ctrl S in the LC IDE will let you test your server script(stack) immediately in the currently open IDE instance. IDE alternatives to edit LC script only stacks are many. I use the Atom fo

It is my understanding that each app has it’s own storage are and that this is sandboxed from other apps. That being said, there is obviously a way for an app to request permission from the iOS to access another app’s storage. I’m not sure if Livecode has that mechanism though. it’s probably som

Thanks for the response, Ralph. I've struggled to retain/regain my old local Sites, web server and LC Server on my home Macs. So, I was thinking of embarking down the script-only stacks route, using an on-rev LC-Server instance to do any web-services heavy-lifting work server-to-server, on beha

Keith, I use LC Server on the on-rev server. It is already setup and the support from Heather/Robin is the best! I personally use regular standard issue binary stacks for everything out of habit. These same stacks are also used in my apps. This is what I love about LC server, it allows me to use m

Hi Graham, You can write to your own app’s preference’s folder. Due to sandboxing Apple doesn’t want you writing stuff elsewhere. You can sometimes write to special folders, I don’t know the list off of the top of my head however. Keep us informed of your progress. Rick > On Oct 12, 2020, at 1

On the iPad each app is sandboxed and that means each app has its own Documents Folder. You can get a url to the Documents Folder for your app but not other apps. Using that url you can read, write, append, move, and delete files that are in your apps Documents Folder. A BIG PROBLEM comes when

I think "status bar" may be a misnomer and it's referring to the three (or two on Android 10) buttons that are always available at the bottom of the screen. Those are the Back, Home, and (sometimes) the Recents buttons. Virtually all Android devices use these "soft buttons" now. I could be wro

That looks interesting but I don’t think it mentioned iPad, and even if they make it for iPad here is a note they mentioned; This will free up storage used by the app, but keep its documents and data. Reinstalling the app will place back your data if the app is still available in the App Store.

Thanks Jacque. Then that IS pretty confusing since the Standalone Application Settings have a “Status Bar” setting and it appears to control the bar at the top of the screen which is what I would expect to match up with the Status Bar on iOS. I guess that will require a feature request… and mayb

Hmmm... SivaSiva shows/hides the status bar. Checking the launcher app settings, it does have the status bar set to hidden. So based on that, just use the hidden option and show the status bar as required while inside the app. Sent from my iPad > On Oct 12, 2020, at 9:19 PM, scott--- via use
