Re: External files in Standalones

Folks: I am really confused about how LC's built-in standalone builder is set up to put user files where I want them. I’m building for MacOSX. There is a “Copy Files” screen in the “Satandalone Settings” window. I have specified the non-stack folders, which are copied, but there is also a

I don't use any externals, other than what LC may include (like revmxl.bundle and rezip.bundle), My bundle structure looks like this: MyAppContentsMacOSExternals(all externals) MyAppContentsMacOScomponents(where I put all my stacks) App Wrapper 3 code signs just fine for me with this

Marty: Is this what the folder structure looks like when you are developing the App? Perhaps this is where I’m going wrong. Do I need to use the same folder structure that the bundle will be, when I am doing the development. Currently, I have: myApp myApp-files —this contains the sub-folders

Marty: Tried the development file structure that mimics the bundle structure (for development) and all the standalone builder does is put my Resources folder inside the Resources folder that is created for the bundle. There is a MacOS folder (Contents-MacOS)that contains only folders, no data.

No that's the structure in the standalone only. If you look in the Standalone settings, you'll see that there's a place to indicate which stacks to include and another place to indicate non-stack files to include. I would set up a folder on your hard drive and organize as you wish, then go

Marty: Thanks so much for your patience and help. I wasn’t worried about finding stacks because all of my project stacks are substacks. But, this situation will occur, I know. The buy site is very useful. I think I have it now. Best, Bill On Nov 28, 2014, at 10:07 AM, Marty Knapp

Hi Bill. Have you run into any problems yet with your Mac standalone getting rejected by Gatekeeper under 10.9.5 or later? Apparently the app bundle structure is under new restrictions with Apple's V2 codesigning rules, Resources should not be located in directories where the system expects to

Tom, I've been developing a large app in LC, while learning LC, and am just now at the stage of building a standalone. So, I haven't faced the apple store requirements yet. I guess I should spend more time looking at the forums, because for now I've concentrated on this list for info, and

Ohanaware has just released App Wrapper 3 which I'm using (I'm just code signing, not using the App Store though) with success. Sam Rowlands is a great guy and has specifically worked with RunRev to make his product compatible with Livecode. Version 3 will take of Apple's new version 2

Marty: Where do you put the folders that contain external binary and image data? The App Wrapper somehow loses the path to them. The standalone that Livecode creates finds these files, but App Wrapper somehow loses the link, even tho the files are still present. So, I’m worrying over how to

I think I’ve got it. I check whether the app is a standalone using the “environment” property, then adjusting file paths accordingly. Bill On Nov 26, 2014, at 3:03 PM, William Prothero proth...@earthednet.org wrote: Folks: I’m building an app that reads a number of external data files. I’ve
