I know it's got to be something I'm doing wrong. I've got LiveCode installed just fine and the iOS apps I create through it can be dropped into my iPad and they run.
But the Test button in the LiveCode toolbar is disabled. I change the selected provisioning profile in the App Setup dialog but that doesn't do anything. Any advice?
Thanks,
Barry

Re: Test button disabled
Hi Barry,
Here are a few hints. In the Mobile Support pane of the preferences window, you need to enter the path to the root of the developer folder. For iOS, this is usually /Developer.
You may need to choose a test target from the Development menu. This will allow you to test the app in the simulator.
I was unable to test apps on an actual device from within LiveCode. You have to install the app manually like you do.
If your stack isn't a toplevel stack, then there's a good chance that the test button is disabled (but then again, why would you make a non-toplevel stack for a mobile platform).
The test button will also be disabled if no mobile platform is selected in the standalone builder.
If the Android simulator isn't running, then LiveCode won't know about it and testing for Android will be unavailable.
Kind regards,
Mark

Re: Test button disabled
Mark,
This line did the trick:
"You may need to choose a test target from the Development menu. This will allow you to test the app in the simulator."
Once I selected iPad Simulator 4.3, the "Test" button became enabled and a click on it worked as expected. Wonderful!
Thanks for your assistance!
