iOS beginner

[logan226]

Hi everyone, I'm a fresh new livecoder and also totally new at developing. while learning objective C by myself, I'd like to begin developi'n with this amazing tool, but I came in the middle of iOS 7 revolution, and it seems to me that LC is not iOS 7 ready. In my mac I've two different SDK at the moment, but still didn't upgrade to new version (iOS 7 apple SDK). last but not least the commercial license is in special price, but what if I pay and LC will not support iOS7 for too long time?? could you senior developers help me givin' some advice? what a poor new developer should do?

tnx!

LiveCode will support iOS 7 very shortly. However it's not likely to support some features yet (and maybe never) e.g. The new font handling. As with previous versions we will have to kind of fake some behaviours and interface elements.

thanx, what about buttos for example, I see older versions in the drag and drop UI, is it another point we should "fake"? or there will be a fix in the newest version of LC? (your opinion, obviously) and you are scaring me with that "it's not likely to support some features yet (and maybe never) e.g. The new font handling"

LiveCode is pretty amazing but it can't be all things to all people. And some things we have to make on our own. But honestly, that's pretty easy. There are icon sets available (for example http://www.glyphish.com) that you can import into your project and use as images for your buttons. You can style a data grid so it looks like an iOS scrolling list.

It's not perfect, but it can be done
