Mobile Apps: Battery Life Native vs LiveCode

[Roderick McCALL]

Dear John and Colin,

Thanks for your replies… Actually I am not sure if it is worse than anything else but I'll put it this way it is currently the subject of much debate here in the office.  I am genuinely interested in any stats people may have collected as we would rather go cross-platform if it is practical for our work.

Kind regards,

rod

What would make you think that mobile apps built with liveCode are any better or any worse than mobile apps built with other software ?

We are currently looking into using LiveCode for a variety of location-aware programs that we want to test on Android and IOS. One key issue is battery life with many viewing any cross-platform tools as having a negative impact. Therefore does anyone have a view or objective measures for this across a range of mobile tasks or have experience of these issues from their existing projects?

We will most likely continue to use LiveCode for internal rapid prototyping however for large scale deployment battery life is clearly an issue.
