For those who have gone before those who have gone before... What sort of files does Apple allow to be downloaded? 'text' only files? Defined by type of file (video, pdf etc)? Is there such a list?
I think I have established that 'executable' files will be rejected (i.e. stack files) which is a real pain because I have a desktop app that would ideally launch stack files from a home page index of modules. If this is the case, what about a 'definition text file' that the app use to create the stack on demand? (This is, of course, apart from plists, licences, XcodeVersion+iOSversion+LCversion combinations, submission processes etc. Whatever happened to 'programming for the rest of us'!)

The files will be updated periodically. I don't want to download them repeatedly unless they've changed. Apple says not to store data in the documents folder if it can be retrieved from elsewhere. That makes me think I should keep it in the cache folder. But I'd rather it was backed up so the user doesn't need an internet connection if they want to use the app and the cache has been wiped. Where would you store the files? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [email protected] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
