Here is how I hack around with all mobile development. I take advantage of Dropbox and it works great.

You need to build a single application using the appropriate development tools (apple or android), Copy the app to the device using the USB one time.

That is where the possible problem lies:

If I plug in the iPad to Macintosh (10.8) it opens iTunes: I seem unable to get the file system on the iPad to mount.

If I plug in the iPad to Linux I see 2 volumes; "Richmond" and "Documents": neither of which, if I burrow down into the directories,
seem to contain any apps, photos or anything else.

What I need to know is where in those 2 volumes I should place my Livecode standalone so that it shows up on the iPad desktop.

The following is needlessly complex as I shall hive all my programs off as self-contained standalones.

Create a directory in dropbox for all of your stacks then create an Index.txt file that contains the dropbox links to each stack. The Index.txt file has a dropbox link as the first item and a program title as the second item. You need to make sure that dropbox link uses the dl. format above. In the datagrid, just hide the link field.

When you run the app, it reads the dropbox index and when you double clink on a program title it loads the associated stack.

I do the programming on a PC, save the stack, then pick up the mobile device and text. I skip the whole simulator step, but that is just my preference.

Here is whole app, it is a biggie ...

on opencard
   set itemdel to tab
   put url "https://dl.dropbox.com/s/555555/Index.txt"; into AppList
   set the dgText of grp "AppPicker" to Applist
end opencard

on mousedoubleup
   set the itemdel to tab
   put the dgHilitedLines of grp "AppPicker" into tLine
   put the dgDataOfLine[tLine] of grp "AppPicker" into tData
   put tData["theLink"] into tURL
   go to URL tURL
end mousedoubleup

Hope this helps.

Regards,
