Hello,

I’ve done this by modify the settings.xml file in the /tools/Runtime/iOS/Device XX folder inside the Livecode app (but it seem we can put a copy of this file in the « Copy file » tabs of the standalone settings, but i’ve no tried yet)

here the code i added to the settings.xml file, after the "<string>APPL</string> » line :
