LiveCode 8.0.0 developer preview

[AgentItay]

Hello,
Can I use LiveCode 1.8 developer preview to publish my game in it? Since I understand that it is only meant for developers trying to test the new features.
And can I transfer my stack from 7.0.5 to 8.0.0?

I think that 1.8 wasn't released: but version 2.0.1 was in about 2003.

Oh wait, wow, I mean 8.0.0 :p
My bad.

you can do everything you want, but if it is wise is another question!

And can I transfer my stack from 7.0.5 to 8.0.0?

Why don't you try yourself with (a copy of) your stack(s)?

Thanks for that Klaus.

Also, everytime I export my stack into an .exe file, the file still stays active in the task manager after closing the .exe file, what;s wrong?

Hi AgentItay,

make sure you don't have any pendingMessages running.

you can delete pending messages by

Code: Select all

repeat for each line aMessage in the pendingMessages
  cancel item 1 of aMessage
 end repeat

do that e.g. when leaving the card of on shutDownRequest

Kind regards

Hi all

I recently used LC 8.0.0 (dp7) to submit apps to Google Play Store and iTunesConnect and TestFlight (although TestFlight did need a plist edit) and it all worked!

I wrote up how dp7 performed in this thread: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nab ... 97568.html

EDIT: Nevermind, got it working, thanks .

Hi AgentItay,

But Bernd, it doesn't work, my code is
on closeStack
cancel all pendingMessages
end closeStack

that was just a guess because I have seen that if there are any pending messages on Windows the app won't quit.
Apparently on Mac the app quits despite "pending messages"

So since I am on a Mac I have no idea what else could keep your app from quitting.

You could test if your pending messages are really all gone after "cancel all pendingMessages" by testing
if the pendingMessages <> "" then

Kind regards

You were right, but my syntax was wrong, I got it working now, thanks .
