Re: 8.1.10 Reporting the ScreenSize of a iPhone7: 0,0,375,667

I’m working on an update to an Adobe AIR app, and one thing for me to have to figure out is that on iPhone 7 some graphics are being cut off. The screens are fine on other phones that are the same screen size. Which suggests there may be something about iPhone 7 that is odd, that is nothing to

Re: iOS 12 compatibility

Skype also crashes. With Adobe AIR apps a current app crashes, but one from four years ago doesn’t. Hopefully Apple will fix things. On Tue, Jul 3, 2018 at 1:53 PM panagiotis merakos via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Hello Andrew, > > No we did not have a chance to look

Re: Home Screen Icon Not Rendered on iOS

Do you all know about the Assets.car requirement in iOS 11? Instead of including individual icons (which you have to do to support older iOS), you now include an Assets.car file, that has all of the icon sizes. It would be an included file. It is possible to make the file using Xcode, but I

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

A few solutions to problems I had

I needed to refresh an app today, not one in any store, just a utility app I made for a friend. It didn’t go easily! First issue was that between my old MacBook Pro running macOS 10.14, and my new MacBook Pro running 10.13.6, I couldn’t find a combination of LiveCode and Xcode that would work.

Re: How to filter a list with a variable anywhere in a line

In that book I wrote there is a chapter on making a web scraper, something that could pull images and other media from a web page. I soon found all the articles talking about not using regex with HTML, so I used a mixture of techniques instead. Here’s the first part I wrote about it: “A common

I tried both 8.1.1 and 9.0.1 in Windows 10 Home version 1803, and they were ok. If you get Properties on the EXE, and “Run compatibility tourbleshooter”, does that show up anything? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please

This is not obvious at all, but the splash screen name of default-portr...@2x.png is now owned by iPad Pro. To support iPad Pro, iPad Retina, and iPad 1, you need these splash screens: default-portr...@2x.png - 2048x2732 Default-Portrait@2x~ipad.png - 1536x2048 Default-Portrait~ipad.png -
