Draft LiveCode Conference App for 2016, but we have a bug

Hi Todd

There was a bug that I recently found in our build process that was filtering out android externals for platforms other than Mac. If you are doing your android builds on Windows or Linux you could be bumping into that. You could try downloading the latest version from here instead:

http://downloads.livecode.com/mergext/mergExt_Community_Latest.zip

Please let me know if that doesn’t work as there may be something more sinister lurking I’m not aware of.

Cheers

Monte
