App Dead on iOS 12

[andrew at midwestcoastmedia.com]

I originally reported the iOS 12 bug (that doesn't show up in QC when  
you search for "iOS 12" but can be found @  
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21396) back in July,  
which was fixed in 9.0.1rc2. I no longer see that black screen or  
crash on iOS 12 (betas or release) when building with 9.0.1rc2/rc3/gm  
and am NOT setting acceleratedRendering to TRUE.

There were still several other hoops that I needed to jump through to  
get my updated app approved. Apple made changes, which forced LiveCode  
to make changes, which forced me to make changes.

- New version of macOS (10.11.x --> 10.12.x)
- New version of Xcode. (8.2 --> 9.2)
- New procedure for preparing file for upload using Application Loader  
3.0 (always used this version of Application Loader, but never had to  
do this before:  
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/33064-how-do-i-submit-an-ios-app-to-the-app-store  
)
- Add app icon via Standalone Builder (LiveCode > File > Standalone  
Application Settings > iOS > Icons > AppStore). Previously I could  
submit the icon via iTunesConnect (which is now AppStoreConnect).

All this was on top of creating a custom plist because I use Location  
Services (previously I was modifying the plist template in the  
LiveCode application package itself, but have to remember to modify  
that before building each different app, so now I'm using this method:  
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/881992-creating-a-custom-plist)

My app was submitted, rejected (for mentioning iOS 12 compatibility in  
my release notes because it wasn't "official" yet), submitted again,  
accepted, and now published (though my screenshots aren't up-to-date  
yet).
