Re: App Rejected: IPv6 network?

[Andre Garzia via use-livecode]

It used to be the case that Apple would only allow JS to be downloaded, all
other languages could not run. Of course the static analysis system is not
perfect and probably it can't detect that that is what is happening with
our LC apps, but the terms were clear that you could not download code from
outside. That caused rejections in many other communities.

I think they mean a binary executable, one that can instruct the processor to 
go do something. The engine is a binary executable. The scripts the engine 
interprets and runs is not, even though they are "compiled" in a sense. They 
are not compiled like a C++ code would be. It's more like compressed.

tons of trouble with it) and that’s why the first stack was successful and the 
second one failed.  Simply not disabling tsNet resolved the problem and the app

Now, does Apple allow my app to launch, and then download, save, and run a 
stack?  The answer is yes.   I have several apps in the app store now that 
function under this architecture.   In my opinion, a LiveCode stack is no more 
“executable code” than is a web page or java script.  And those is certainly 
aloud.

I also believe that this practice is best and not heard.   As of now, Apple is 
not rejecting these apps.  Let’s not give them a reason to “look deeper” when 
reviewing our submitted apps.  I quietly enjoy all the possibilities that this 
system brings.  I also don’t abuse it.

I should probably note that I'm neither an attorney nor a representative 
of any OS vendor.  What I described is more or less the view of LC Ltd 
as far as I understand it.


When we had this discussion here a few weeks ago Mark Waddingham also 
reminded us that LC Builder is an exception, since of course it provides 
access to OS APIs. So downloading things that contain widgets that use 
OS APIs may not be in keeping with guidelines from OS vendors.


And in all fairness I've not read anything truly definitive on this one 
way or another from any OS vendor themselves.


This is just my own view, apparently that of LC Ltd, and others.

We see many apps that allow various forms of interpreted instructions, 
like spreadsheets and integration tools, and even a few scripting 
language tools.  And I've met developers using a wide range of scripting 
languages downloading script objects in their apps.


But even when something is widely done, and even if it makes logical 
sense both in terms of policy compliance and respecting actual security 
risk, it doesn't necessarily mean there isn't an arbitrary prohibition 
against it.


Where exactly Apple or any other OS vendor will draw the line is not 
something I can say definitively.  That would be for them.


Did Colin ever hear back on this from the folks on the Android team?

If this were allowed, LC could create a player app for iPhone and android and 
allow people to exchange stacks outside of the app stores.

It could be quite big.

Somehow the metaphor's are getting a bit mixed there.

For starters if Tim Cook is Adam it's a good thing their garden is in

Also, I have a feeling that the situation started out with a situation 
more like the 3 wierd sisters: Job, Wozniak and Ronald Wayne.


Considering Apple's track record with binary files (Aha; here come the 
forked tongues) . . . I wonder why they should object.


Certainly I know that a very clever BBC computer emulator that was made 
for iPad was rejected because it downloaded other files (BBC computer 
program files).

Was this app previously submitted, approved, and orking and this is a new

They are to the LiveCode engine, but not to the OS.

LiveCode Script has no access to the OS, and can't touch anything 
outside of the LiveCode engine.


So from the OS perspective, scripts are just data, like glorified 
spreadsheet formulas.  All sandboxing and other API evaluation is 
relevant to the LC Engine.




Well then, that opens up a whole realm of possibilities. I was unaware.

If a script isn't executable code, I'm not sure what is.

I didn't know that downloading stacks onto an app was ever a problem.  It's
not downloading a file of any sort that has been a no-no, it's loading
executable code, which LC scripts are not, and LC stacks are not.

Are you using sockets? We do not support IPv6 sockets and they will rejection 
from Apple when they test on an IPv6 _only_ network which is their policy to do.
