Hi Francis, To make apps for your own iPad and keep them running, you need to pay for the Apple dev programme every year unfortunately.
In continental Europe, you pay 79 euro + VAT. I believe it is illegal to put consumer prices without VAT on a website in Europe, but RunRev still uses prices without VAT. The correct price is currently €94,80 for a personal license. Such a license allows you to make standalones with a splash screen with the RunRev logo, and a message saying something like "This app is not for distribution". Sorry for being somewhat negative :-) -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 7 jul 2011, at 14:36, Francis Nugent Dixon wrote: > Hi from Beautiful Brittany, > > When the iPad came out, I thought "WOW", with the > idea of carrying my LiveCode apps with me. > Then I found out that (of course), I had to pay for this > facility (OK - Business is Business !). > I don't really want to develop new apps on an iPad, > but move existing LiveCode apps to an iPad (mostly > data-base interrogation and update apps). > I decided to let things drop - I am retired, and I have > limited resources, and above all, I don't want to sell > anything I build.
