Livecode and iOS 7

Yes, this is how iOS 7 works now. If an app has been previously purchased/installed from the app store, it will become available "in the cloud". In other words, it's downloadable again even if it's deleted from the device (actually, the app store has worked this way for a long time now; it just looks a little different under iOS 7). Anyway, the little cloud icon with the arrow pointing down simply indicates that it has already been purchased and can be downloaded and installed again. If the button says "Free", that means it hasn't been previously purchased/installed.

HTH,
Chris
