Allow PreRelease Deployment Packs to be trialed in Runrev.

[mhoneywill]

I think it would help RunRev's development process if Deployment packs in a Pre Release state could be run in a standard LiveCode installation, without having to buy a licence.

In much the same way as you can create demo iOS apps that have a banner and time out after 1min it would be great if you could explore the features of the pre-release platforms, specifically windows mobile and Android in the same way.

I can only see that this would benefit RunRev by giving them more feedback about their new platforms. Runrev would also get an real idea about how popular a particular platform was by the number of downloads it had and the amount of feed back they had (In specific Forum area's). It would also allow users to explore new platforms and learn about them (win-win).

This need not be supplied with the standard install, and could be an extra download (plugin). As soon as the Android and Windows mobile platforms are released then I understand that you will be able to create demo apps in the same way as you can do now with the iOS deployment option, So what is the harm in adding this feature into the Pre-release versions?

I think that's a brillant idea ! I'm even wondering why... the "mothership" didn't think about it earlier.

Indeed, that would boost "feedback". Everybody would win with such solution.

Speaking about myself, I'm not "really" into iOS nor Android. Not to the point to buy a prerelease licence. But who knows ? If I could try the stuff, I could be convinced.

However, I use a lot LiveCode Server... Allowing other to try it, would probably boost the product, by giving it more visibility.
