 From time to time we need platform-specific features.  This could be merely
one more.

Ultimately there's one super-feature that determines the value of all other
features:  the line between "I want to make an app" and "I just shipped an
app!".  The shorter and less painful that line, the more value LiveCode has.

So when we evaluate possible features it can be helpful to think of them in
terms of pain point magnitude:  how many people find it frustrating to not
have it, and just how frustrating is it?

Code signing, and packaging for iOS, are horribly time-wasting, hair-pulling
activities that require a disproportionate amount of research and
experimentation to finally get them right.  They're serious bottlenecks to
professional deployment, among the biggest pain points we face.

These aren't failings of LiveCode, but they may well be opportunities for
LiveCode, to provide a level of usability for those tools currently absent
from the respective OS vendors.

After all, isn't that ultimately what LiveCode is all about, making it
easier to ship apps than by using OS-vendor-preferred solutions?

Even if it were necessary to implement those features in a way that could
only be used on certain platforms, I'd chip in for this.  I've seen too many
sad and frustrated posts from even experienced coders not to want to see
this pain point go away.
