Hi all
I have an iPad application and I have noticed that if I click the home button and then go back into the app, it has restarted from the beginning.

What am I missing here? I would have thought it would just carry on from where it left off.

Thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,

You have to use LiveCode 9.0 DP-7 or above to allow your app running in the background. In the standalone settings you have to check the "Enable Background Execution" (note this is an experimental feature)

If you develop in LC 8.1.x, you can still achieve that, but it involves "hacking" the plist file.

Best regards,
Panos

I haven't upgraded to v9. Was the "Enable Background Execution" feature implemented in the final release? Does it break anything?
