There are many, many ways to do this. The barest minimum might be: put url "http://myserver.org/updatedata/latest.txt"; into latestUpdateData
Then work with that data as you wish. Not a web site, though it requires a web host to stick the file on, of course. Though there are plenty of free places to do that. Even a DropBox... You can get as complicated as you want from there on, but that lets you update all apps by updating one file. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 5:35 PM, Steve Jones <stevejo...@mac.com> wrote: > Greeting! > > I am a novice LiveCode user, and even more so to the iOS environment.
