Windows and IOS

Post by lithium630 » Fri Jul 26, 2013 10:28 pm

If I have an app created in LiveCode on a Windows machine, is it possible to copy that app to a Mac and compile it for IOS or do I need to start all over?

Dear lithium630,

Thank you for your request.

Yes what you have suggested is possible. You will be able to open your application stack on a Mac system and then build an iOS standalone from it.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

But if you mean that you have an executable App for a windows machine (i.e. an exe) - then No.

If you have the .livecode (or .rev) file then yes - it's possible.

You would need to be more specific in your question really.

Cheers,
Dave

Also, watch out for all iphone... prefixes, many of them can be converted to just a mobile... prefix but not all.
e.g. iphoneDeviceResolution will throw an error.

EDIT ahh shoot... I should pay better attention, this is win-to-ios not ios-to-android
I used to be a newbie but then I learned how to spell teh correctly and now I'm a noob!
