Yep, that works, of course - but not from Livecode 8. The application is packaged differently and you cannot edit plist files in this way.

I should have said "from Livecode 8", when I said "this no longer works "

That workaround no longer works; you can't change the plist. However, the Standalone Settings item I mentioned is new and allow you to set Exits on Suspend.

By default, Livecode iOS apps are set to terminate when you move to another app ('suspend'). There is an iOS Standalone Application setting called (I think) Background Audio - it's the one labelled "experimental". Setting this keeps your app running when suspended, so returning to it will carry on w...

Excellent - thanks Panos.

Hmmm. Thanks Dave. I think I'll try further messing with revsaveasiosstandalone to see if that at least works. (Though, of course, it's more hassle to do it every time a standalone is built). Edit: I wonder if the new "experimental" Background Audio setting sets the exits on suspend to false? I'll g...

Damn - I hadn't realised this. I guess there's no way now to do the iOS running in the background change at all now?

I suppose we need to start lobbying for the setting to be in Standalone settings ...

I see the same error as CreepyTowel. However, as long as you apply the change, the save error doesn't seem to matter: an iOS standalone builds fine.

Yep, it works for me, too.

Thanks Panos.

When I used the suggestion from the bug report, the xcode-select command returned the correct path to Xcode 7.2.1. Needless to say, I still get the error. I noticed I was also linking to Xcode 5.1.1 in Livecode Preferences. This version doesn't work on El Capitan, but even removing it from Preferenc...

I can't see any of the suggestions impacting the query processing. They are all simply ways of building up a string in a variable, which you then use in your query. There likely is some impact on the time to build up the string, but I would imagine it would be imperceptible. As to whether using serv...

Another way to make the code a bit more readable is to use "after", such as:

put "SELECT something.one,something.two" into tSQL
put " FROM sometable" after tSQL
put " WHERE this=that" after tSQL

Thanks, Simon

I have an app in development on an iPad. Since upgrading to iOS 8 everything seems to work OK, except that changing the orientation of the iPad doesn't cause the app to rotate. It works fine in both portrait and landscape - showing the right things for the given orientation, but it just won't change...

If I understand what you are wanting, you need to program the interaction between your database and fields on a card. For example, you could create a card with fields for name, address, etc. and buttons for "next", "search", or whatever. The code in the buttons would perform the database query (for ...

Ahhhh *slaps forehead*

So the button references an imported image which in turn references the filename.

Sorry it took you so long to get through my thick skull, but thank-you so much for patience and persistence.

Hopefully someone else will find this useful, too.

Cheers,

Adrian
