Thomas Jacque, What I am going to say here is untested. So far I haven't got the time to try it out but it should work (tm). What you see on the Documents interface on iTunes is the same folder you get when you use specialFolderPath(documents). So why doesn't all apps shown up? Because you need

Jacqueline, So then, is the Documents folder you're saving to the same folder that Apple expects? In other words can you register that folder as a shared folder and see the contents in iTunes? Thanks Tom McGrath III Lazy River Software http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net On Nov

Well this would be great news for a few projects of mine. In xCode you have to register in the applications pList file for Document Sharing in order to 'turn on' this feature. Tom McGrath III Lazy River Software http://lazyriver.on-rev.com 3mcgr...@comcast.net I Can Speak on the iPad Store

Ron, I haven't used LC for the APPLE desktop store yet but I am developing a few applications for the APP iOS store. In the APP iOS store application you can not spit out stacks as in 1. and although you could auto check for upgrades 3. you could not download them because Apple won't allow it

Tom, Thanks for the reply and specifics. I recognize that Apple's policy is a work in progress and the app store will probably be somewhat different from the iOS store but I am looking for some guidelines to keep from making obvious mistakes. So what do you do for saving prefs for your iOS app?

Ron, I haven't tried in the latest release but before that there was no way for iOS to save out a stack or a preferences file that I know of. In xCode you have a few choices. Either save to the settings pane via API provided by apple or you could save a pList to 'your sandbox' documents folder

As a follow up to my earlier question _can_ we use LiveCode desktop to make desktop apps to be sold through the Apple store (Kevin's answer was a qualified 'yes') Is anyone _actually_ moving forward with an app for the Apple store? I have an app that I want to make available in the store but I'm

I think Richard's answer just covered the topic about whether LiveCode apps are permitted now, but part of the question was about whether Xcode has to be used as the way to submit the app? Is there a walkthrough somewhere of the submission process for LiveCode apps?

Thanks RIchard I understand about LiveCode Mobile and Apple's policy reversals. But what about the upcoming non-iOS App store, the one for non-mobile applications. We don't use LiveCode mobile for these apps as well, right? Can we use desktop LiveCode to make desktop app for the upcoming desktop
