Hi Gregory,
I've just spend a few weeks setting up LiveCode server on win32 under IIS
5.1.
And pretty much had to start from scratch to get LiveCode Server up n
running.
If you haven't already stepped thru this how to (don't just read thru it.
Do it. And verify each step) :
How-do-I-install-LiveCode-Server-on-OS-X-with-Apache-
http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4070/l/36653-How-do-I-install-LiveCode
-Server-on-OS-X-with-Apache-
Have you had apache working before?
If not, get Apache working first.
Then modify the hello world scripts that are working on Apache.
By placing your test script line in it.
And renaming it to .lc
And test again.

Hello everyone,
I must have missed something because I can't get the server engine to work
on my Mac. Here's what I did.
1. I placed the livecode-server executable and the drivers and externals
folder into /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/
2. I added these two lines
AddHandler livecode-script .lc
Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/livecode-server
at the end of the <Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents"> section of
httpd.conf
3. I restarted Apache by toggling the web sharing checkbox in system
preferences
To test the server, I created a page in iWeb and added an HTML snippet
containing
<p> The internet date is <?rev put the internet date ?></p>
Nothing from the snippet appears on the page. What am I doing wrong?

> Right. Every testing device has to be entered in the portal. Then you
either make new development provisioning profiles (which will include their
devices) or you can refresh your existing profile via XCode. Once the
profile has been updated to include the new devices, rebuild the standalone
with the new profile.
This is a critical piece that many miss? if you had a standalone that was
sent to two people and worked and you then went and added a third person
(device) to the portal, you can't just send the same standalone to the third
person? you have to *rebuild the standalone* with the new profile in order
for the third person to be able to use your standalone.

Graham,
TestFlight is a helpful friend for management of devices & smaller scale

Hi Jim,
TestFlight looks interesting... how does one use it with LC?

I'm not sure I agree. AppGyver (AG) has many of the same api hooks to iOS
as LC. So, in theory, one could just as easily abuse those privileges in an
AG player as a LC player.
For instance, say you write an AG file (html/jscript) to access the native
features of iOS like the contacts list, and copy them all and transport
them somewhere over the Internet. That does something significantly
*different* than what Safari can do. And, in my mind, it represents just as
much a security risk as what you can do with LC.

Hello All,
When typing in my Android app within a simple text-field object and
with the "word prediction" setting checked on, clicking on any one of
the suggested words results in only the first letter of that word
appearing in the text field. Same thing happens if the suggested words
are ignored and I simply continue typing. Which means that, to type a
word,"Enter" must be hit after each letter is typed.
Of course, the field works as expected if "word prediction" is turned
off in the settings. But that's not a solution.
I tried the Android Release Notes, but couldn't find anything related
to this problem.
Advice please?
Thanks.

Nicolas,
I have been testing with froyo and text field input works as expected. When
I tested on a gingerbread tablet today I saw the same thing. What version of
LC and Android are you running?

Ralph,
LC = 5.5.1-dp1
HTC Evo phone = Android 2.3.4
AVD Manager setting for that HTC = Android 2.3.3 Api Level 10
LC standalone minimum OS setting = tried both Android 2.2 and Android 2.3
Again, text field input works as expected. But not if "word
prediction" is turned on.
Cheers.

In LiveCode desktop apps, you can't put stuff in the mainstack of the app or
its substacks and expect it to be there next time the program is run: there
are often questions on this list about this kind of thing. The basic rule
that prevents self-modifying programs in modern OSs means that the mainstack
is essentially read-only, so saving of the main stack and its whole data
tree is not allowed: the traditional solution is "put your data into a
different stack which you open at the start of the program and save when it
quits" (the Splash Screen method).
Now, what about iOS? As far as I understand the iOS app concept (which is
not very well), the whole thing runs in the app's sandbox, and when the
program quits or is suspended (same thing, in effect), the entire state of
the app is recorded. If this is true, then you might think that when an app
creates new cards in its main stack, then those cards will still be there
when you restart the program. My experiments show that they aren't - this is
not unexpected exactly, but it raises the question: what is kept in the
sandbox - is it only stuff that has been deliberately saved in the
'documents' folder or whatever? Or is some other status information stored
by the system and if so what? Can I know for example how many times my app
has been launched on this device? I expect there is something about this
deep in the XCode docs but I have not found it. Does anyone know?

With iOS you have to save a copy of the stack into the documents folder, and
then jump into that stack. Then changes can be saved.
