Mobile app templates?

[Erik Beugelaar]

Hi Jac,

"monkeying around with screen sizes and resolutions" should not be an issue
anymore to think about nowadays to develop desktop, mobile or web
applications. A lot of other visual programming environments have already
deal with that kind of nonsense in my opinion. See for example
www.wakanda.org
That's why I am wondering why the mobile template at the LiveCode site isn't
working out of the box.

Kind regards,
Erik

I don't think there's much difference between the desktop method and mobile
apps. You just compile the main stack for mobile instead of for desktop.

The headaches aren't in the scripts so much as the mobile-specific
requirements like getting provisioning from Apple, or signed keys for
Android, or monkeying around with screen sizes and resolutions and app
permissions, or butting up against store restrictions. I'm not sure there's
a good way to provide a template for that sort of thing, it all depends on
the app behavior and layout.
