Re: Is there a way to send and receive iOS messages?

2013-01-05 Thread Monte Goulding
Is it actually game related? If not then turn based matches might not work so 
well because the notifications come from Game Center. There's no API for sms 
messages other than what's already built into the engine.

Hi Monte, this would need to work over the cell network, or in any place that

Hi Geoff

The GameKit external that I'm going to release soon does this with the app open 
on all devices and within bluetooth or wifi network (peer to peer messaging). 
There's also turn based matches in GameKit (which is what I think you want) but 
I need a little bit more funding to cover that so I'm going to release without 
it for now.

Cheers

I don't think anything ever came of that, no.

I forget the exact sequencing there.  It is a pity that he didn't
stumble across the project (was it still in litigation?  I forget.)


386BSD came from a license to BSD.  AT&T claimed that it had some of
their code in it.  Lawyers made money.  Code replaced.


>The original OS X was built on BSD Unix.

386BSD becomes FreeBSD, which amicably splits into FreeBSD concerned
about just a couple of platforms, and NetBSD, determined to run on
anything with a pmmu and the ability to emulate an FPU. NetBSD then
has a far from amicable split and produces OpenBSD as a splinter,
largely/entirely due to Theo's inability to get along with just about
anyone.  The three share code back and forth quite often.

If I got everything straight, Darwin was drawn primarily from NetBSD,
but modified to use the Mach microkernel like NeXT.  It drew from
other BSD licensed unix, too.  However, it release-syncs to FreeBSD
instead (or at least used to).  Apple apparently fed back plenty of
bug fixe in the process.

OSX then runs on top of Darwin.

40 years ago, on the PDP-8, the predecessor to the PDP-11, on which it
became famous.  The switch to C is *very* early, driven by porting.
Also, there is more than a passing resemblance between C and PDP-11
assembly (and this is not a coincidence.  Snarky folks have been known
to accuse one of being the other).  The unix kernel was C based by the
time Linus was typing.

The Linux kernel was not drawn from the Unix codebase, but certainly
provides the expected functionality of a Unix kernel.  The "at its
core"  bit is more my finding describing a unix as "Linux at its core"
a bit backwards.

I've used both extensively.  FreeBSD is my own preference, but I've
gone back to macs (which remain primarily BSD boxes for me.  But
Spotlight leads to my keeping macos on them.)

Is it possible you have a plugin that is causing issues?  (in the "my

Hey Jacque and Mark,

Sounds like you need to delete the RR prefs. Go here and delete the 
entire folder:


/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/RunRev

Depending on the version, the folder may be named "RunRev" or "Runtime 
Revolution". Delete whichever you have.


If you cannot see the Library folder, hold down the option key and pull 
down the Finder's Go menu. You will see Library in there. Go there and 
then find Preferences/RunRev


Launch LiveCode. Everything will be in a default state, so you'll need

If you really want to hear something weird, queer, crazy, odd, wild,

I added a new user account to the system, reinstalled LC 4.5.3 for

Guess I'll migrate all of my documents and such over to the new

Hello Mark,
Yeah, I had already thought of that, but no good news I'm afraid. Here are the

1. Create new stack, add one single button  - OK
2. Bring up property dialog for button  - OK
3. Edit button script  - NOT OK
4. Script Editor is not shown   - NOT OK

- Observations -

4. Property dialog automatically shows "revNewScriptEditor1"
5. Stopwatch is displayed and remains…
6. "revNewScriptEditor1" is now showing as an option in top "Window"
part of the Mac menu
7. Selecting that menu entry brings the "revNewScriptEditor1" editor
up in an almost full screen state
8. After observation #7, I can then finally edit a button, card, stack
script using the normal process.

None of this makes any sense because it has been working without
problems for the little I've used the machine in the last year or so.
Using the 4.5.0 version has the same problem, installing/reinstalling
either LC version changes nothing at all.

I'm really stumped at this point.

David C.

Re: OT: How to renew iOS Certificates?

2013-01-05 Thread Dave Kilroy
Graham (& Chris)

Yes this stuff is not nice if you get it wrong…

By the way, Provisioning Profiles are very different creatures from Development 
and Distribution Certificates - they are explained well (but it took me about 
three readings before it sunk in) on the Provisioning Profile (in the the 
'learn' tab [or a name similar to that]) and in LiveCode UserGuide)

I won't go into the differences between the two here as: a) its been a while 
since I last read about them and b) I wouldn't give too much credibility to a 
guy who can't even sign his code to get it on iOS devices!

However I will say that in my copy of Xcode, if I open the Organizer Window and 
make sure I'm in the 'Devices' tab I can see my Provisioning Profiles in the 
'Library' section (on the left) and see my Developer and Distribution 
Certificates (including the extra one I can't get rid of) in the 'Teams' 
section.

Good luck and keep us informed on how you get on

There are several options. Check out Push Notifications and Local Notifications 
in the iOS release notes. You can easily send either email or SMS messages, 
too, and there are ways to handle sending and receiving email from within an 
app.
If you need something more customized than that, there are other possibilities. 
What do you want to do?

Since Heather and crew are likely off for the weekend, can anyone
point me to a download link for  a Rev/Livecode version around 4.0 for
Mac or thereabout? I have the original email from my purchase for 4.0,
but it points to a dead link at the RunRev site. I do have 4.5 and
4.53 for Mac here in my archives, but neither work and I really need
to see if I can get an earlier version functional.


Best regards,
David C.

Is there a way to send and receive iOS messages?

And for bonus points is there something similar in android (and is it 
accessible within LC)?

Thanks again...
I did a search in the system for references to DAZ3D and found nothing
at all other than the document you referred me to.

Would you mind telling me the exact name of the preference file and
where that might be located? (almost Mac-ignorant here)

David C.

Sorry it doesn't work for you.

Around 2 years ago, I had the same problem without DAZ3D, and this trick
makes the script and the message box work again, but can't remember more.

So, if you have delete your preferences stack first and nothing better,
may be worth a try if you don't have any answer?

Thanks Thierry,
That article sounds like a pretty good description of the problem...
although I *have not* installed the DAZ3D software (didn't even know
what it is previously). In fact, with just a very few exceptions, this
Mini is in almost "out of the box" condition as far as installed
software is concerned.

I'll look through my archives and see if I have an older version that I can try.

Appreciate the help all the same.

David C.

Re: OT: How to renew iOS Certificates?

2013-01-05 Thread Roger Guay
For what it's worth, Graham. I totally agree with you. Of course, I'm a rookie 
compared to you and most of those on this list.

I built an app that I'm donating to the SETI Institute (to insure that all 
proceeds go to them) and so I've become a team developer for them (as well as 
holding my own). I have spent months on this process of trying to upload my app 
to Apple to no avail. At this point I am tightly wrapped around the axle, and 
not sure where to even start for help.

Sorry for my rant and sounding so negative, but please do report back on your 
progress.

Roger

Re: OT: How to renew iOS Certificates?

2013-01-05 Thread Graham Samuel
Thanks to both Dave and to Chris who wrote earlier. Given the agony that one 
has to go through, I am a bit surprised that nobody has yet replied with a 
snappy step-by-step guide. I chose LiveCode and other x-talks to be able to get 
straight to the point of creating stuff, and this kind of bureaucracy sure gets 
in the way of that.

At the moment I have a couple of days before my iOS Team Provisioning Profile 
expires (or maybe that should be a plural? There seem to be three of them 
attached to my iPad). I have been in touch with Apple's European Support 
people, who are very nice and quite responsive, but so far they have not 
removed all of my confusion. I am feeling my way, but some things I am still 
queasy about include:

1. The need to work using both XCode and the iOS Provisioning Portal (which is 
essentially a web site). It's not clear to me why I can't just manage 
everything in XCode but it seems I can't.

2. There are some actual wrong instructions as far as i can see, particularly 
in XCode Organizer where there is a 'renew' button when you display a profile 
which is about to expire  on a device, but clicking on it doesn't do anything, 
not AFAIKS anyway!

3. The jargon and the underlying model of digital signing and so on, which I 
find very very difficult. For example the word 'Certificate' is used on the web 
site but not (I think) in XCode; in XCode there seems to be only one type of 
object, a Provisioning Profile, but I have a feeling they come in different 
flavours, tho as this is not explicit, I'm not sure. There are distribution 
profiles too: I thought I had an Ad Hoc one, but I haven't found out what 
happened to it. I feel that there's a game with lots of rules, but all attempts 
to explain the rules are somehow lost on me. It doesn't help that I find the 
Apple documentation convoluted and very boring, like your least favourite 
subject at university.

Anyway thanks again for the help so far. If I get out of the wood (and I 
certainly hope to do so soon), I'll try to report back to the list.

Hi Graham

Yep you need to be careful with iOS developer and distribution certificates - 
mostly because you have almost no control over them Apple controls them and if 
something goes wrong you are at their mercy - it went wrong for me and now I 
can't sign code or build for iOS devices and am constrained to the simulator.

You can (I think the word is 'rescind') your developer and distribution 
certificates at the Provisioning Portal and get Apple to create new ones for 
you - although as Chris says it's easier if you let Xcode do this for you.

When my developer certificate was expiring I must have done something Apple 
didn't like because I ended up with two developer certificates, which throws an 
error and stops me building standalones for iOS

The best info I found on the process is Apple's Technical Note TN2250 - but 
with any luck if you instead read Apple's guides with more insight than I you 
will sail through the process.

BTW - for those who are interested, I don't have an extra developer certificate 
in my keychain, nor in the preferences folder of Xcode, nor anywhere I can find 
on my machine - the naughty extra certificate gets imported from the 
Provisioning Profile each time I get Xcode to refresh.  and I've been 
phoning the WorldWide Apple Developer Center since 23rd November (apparently 
engineers in Cupertino have looked at my problem and don't know how to fix it)

So good luck but be careful!

Dave
