AW: [OT] Renewing Apple Developer ID Installer Certificate

[Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode]

Hi Marty,
even if your certificate expires on wednesday, your old signed apps will never 
expire, you just can't sign a new app with the old expired certificate.

Betreff: Re: [OT] Renewing Apple Developer ID Installer Certificate

Thanks Colin. It is a bit different than iOS (and I'm not selling in the Mac 
App Store either). What I've done at this point is to generate new certificates 
for both the Developer ID Application and Developer ID Installer. There appears 
to be no renewal capability. I use AppWrapper to codesign my apps and in 
looking at the setup, I'm guessing that Developer ID Installer certificate, 
while required in AppWrapper, is only for when you build an installer package 
(I use a DMG).

I'll have to wait till Wednesday when my old certificates expire to see if I 
have trouble with the previously signed apps. If someone knows anything more, 
I'm all ears. Hopefully I'm good for another 5 years, when I'll forget how to 
do this all over again - I love getting old!

Actually we have access to basically anything you want on Android now via LCB 
and now that that’s the case if we provided an API for it we would do it via 
LCB too. I’m sure Ali could wrap it pretty quickly but it might be a good idea 
for the community to take it on and give us some feedback on our docs. The 
sooner people start wrapping and sharing code for system APIs the better.

I would think that it’s the same as with iOS. When you go back to 
https://developer.apple.com/account/mac/certificate/ 
 after renewing your 
subscription it will most likely have an expired certificate. You make a new one, 
then go to the provisioning profile for your app, it should show as expired. Edit it 
and re-select the certificate, picking the new one.

If the current certificate is still valid for a while you can still edit the 
provisioning profile to give it a fresh start.

If you edit a provisioning profile file you should find an ExpirationDate entry 
that gives the date it will expire.

Release 9.0.0 DP7 / SVG / The book of the film of the poem

[Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode]

Hi Frans,

> Many thanks for your assistance!

Glad to help! but SVG file format inherent problems
will remain problematic for some time to come:

"Allowing JavaScript within SVG sounds like a
“Wouldn’t that be neat” idea that someone threw
in without much thought about the security
consequences. It makes SVG inherently riskier
than other image formats."

https://madfileformatscience.garymcgath.com/2016/11/21/svg-images/

By the way, How many different SVG file versions
already exists? At least 30 or 40 (maybe more) and
the only software that renders correctly most of them
is Google Chrome...

Looks like every Design software produces 3 or 4
(maybe more) different SVG versions... and if you
try to open a SVG produced in one Design program
using another Design program, the results are mostly
problematic and sometimes, the same Design program
that exported a SVG file could not open it correctly again...

Previously, in this mail list, we have discussed about
these (and others) SVG problems so it's not necessary
to repeat ourselves again. Now, I am taking a close look
at Xara 365 (Low cost program) and Microsoft Design
Expression (Free) to create WIX and XAML files compatible
with LiveCode vector graphics.

It's SVG file format that is fickle. I discover this while
updating scripts for stack "SVGL":
http://livecodeshare.runrev.com/stack/112/SVGL

When I changed the code to import correctly
one particular SVG file, scripts breaks for
the rest of SVG files and a closer look at the
SVG source does not reveal why this happens.

After some though, I reach the conclusion that
using XAML (a Microsoft format) or WIX (Xara Text format)
would be less stressful and more productive
for LiveCode developers.

For this, just use a text editor like NotePad ++
This Text Editor could find a string in all files
within a folder. This is very useful to find paths
with a fill and a stroke within your thousands of
svg files.

You want to talk with Peter Thirkell and Mark Wieder:
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=27811&start=30

By the way Frans, you could import Adobe Ilustrator files
(version 7or 5.5) into LiveCode and use multicolor gradients
in your ilustrations. Download and test this stack posted
many, many years ago:

Did I call or it did I call it? :)  Seems my nose for nomenclature has

smell an Apple API name at 400 yards. :)

I figured there was a parallel API for Android.  I guess my question was

Re: [OT] Renewing Apple Developer ID Installer Certificate

[Colin Holgate via use-livecode]

I would think that it’s the same as with iOS. When you go back to 
https://developer.apple.com/account/mac/certificate/ 
 after renewing your 
subscription it will most likely have an expired certificate. You make a new 
one, then go to the provisioning profile for your app, it should show as 
expired. Edit it and re-select the certificate, picking the new one.

If the current certificate is still valid for a while you can still edit the 
provisioning profile to give it a fresh start.

If you edit a provisioning profile file you should find an ExpirationDate entry 
that gives the date it will expire.

[OT] Renewing Apple Developer ID Installer Certificate

[Marty Knapp via use-livecode]

I sell and distribute Mac apps from my own website and have the Apple 
Developer ID Application Certificate and the Developer ID Installer 
Certificate. I've been notified that they will both expire in a couple 
of days.


According to the Apple web site, if the Developer ID Installer 
Certificate expires, users will *not* be able to install any 
applications signed with the certificate. (an expired Developer ID 
Application Certificate is not a problem for existing installers).


What I can't seem to find are instructions on *renewing* the 
certificate. I found one article that said I needed to revoke the old 
one and then create a new one. That makes me a little nervous. Obviously 
I don't want to screw this up and have customers going crazy, while I'm 
frantically trying to figure out what to do.


You would think that Apple would have an easy Steps 1-2-3 to renew, but 
I sure can't find them. Anyone done this recently? Should I revoke the 
old one or wait till it expires?


Thanks for any help,
Marty

Well, you've got Apple to blame for that one.

If nothing else it's perhaps the most truly English-like token in the

natural languages. ;)


There are various interpretations of 'reachability' for iOS:

"Of course, Apple knows that many iPhone users want the option to 
perform many functions with one hand, so it created a nifty little 
feature called “Reachability.”"


https://bgr.com/2014/09/22/iphone-6-apple-features-iphone-6-plus/

According to the dictionary there are three LC functions here: 
reachabilityChanged, iphoneReachabilityTarget, and 
iphoneSetReachabilityTarget. I assume this "iphone" nomenclature is 
what's known as painting yourself into a corner.




And iOS only?  What do we do for the other 80% of the world?

Re: Mobile Check Bandwidth Function

Ping will not work. Some firewalls will prevent ICMP packets to and or from a 
source. If this library is to be used universally, you need a better method to 
determine if a device is responding on a known port. 

The tried and true method for doing this is telnet. Unfortunately, Microsoft 
decided NOT to enable the telnet client on Windows 8 and above. It has to be 
enabled by an end user. If you can create your own telnet stack, then it's 
doable. 

telnet  

check the result.

Well the better part would be running Windows apps in Chrome. I have me doubts 
like Mark. How this can come to fruition without the entire computing industry 
rising up to smoosh it or buy it out is the real question. Think about it. No 
more need to buy a Dell laptop, just get a Chromebook! 

Of course you get more with an OS than just the ability to run apps. I doubt 
for instance you could set up a domain controller running Windows Server 2016.

I could have sworn there was a message named something like 
networkConnetionChanged or mobileNetworkChanged or 
mobileNetworkInterfaceChanged or whatever, but searching through the 
Dictionary for every part of that I can think of turned up nothing.


Was I imagining this? If not, what is it's actual name, and would be 
useful here?

This audio message is telling you that you have a Trial-Demo version
of sunnYtext2speech external.

There is *no audio message with the licensed one*!

This is the only difference between the Trial and the licensed version.

Re: Release 9.0.0 DP7 / SVG / The book of the film of the poem/ Alejandro solved it.

[Frans Schoffelen via use-livecode]

Hi Alejandro, 

sorry for the delayed answer. Busy times. I tried to write a script to adapt 
some of the SVG files at hand
according to your instructions but that got me into a lot of offset problems 
and the widget ran into
a lot of “exceeds boundary “ or something similar in rendering. I have written 
“translation scripts” for 30 years
now but this one is a bit fickle.

But for the sake of letting everybody know :  the solution of SVG rendering 
strokes combined with  RGB fills of Alejandro below works. 

I must admit that it helped that he had already pinpointed the RGB ones with a 
stroke ( sound like a disease doesn’t it).

Duplicating the lines manually and replacing with “fill:none” did the trick : 
The SVG then renders exactly as in Illustrator and in Affinity Designer.

Picture :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/79beopxkyy63sqw/PUPPET%20SSVG%20with%20Alejandros%20changes.png?dl=0

As it stands I will still have to figure out a reproducible and reliable way of 
finding an duplicating in the SVG-text or maybe
one of the authors of the widget has an idea on how to bypass this/implement it 
in the LCB code. 

Many thanks for your assistance!


kind regards

Frans Schoffelen, Berlin

Re: Mobile Check Bandwidth Function

[axwald via use-livecode]

Hi.

Peter Bogdanoff via use-livecode wrote
> Can anyone share their "test bandwidth" library?

Found it difficult & time consuming to test the actual bandwidth, so I'm
testing the latency now. Bad latency usually relates to bad bandwidth ;-)

On my server I have a php script:
-

-

And in LC I use this function:
-
function INTest full
   put "http://myServer.net/tools/myip.php"; into myIPURL
   if full then
  put the millisecs into t1
  put url myIPURL into myIP
  put the millisecs - t1 into t2
  return myIP & CR & t2
   else
  return url myIPURL
   end if
end INTest
-

Calling INTest() gives empty if we have no IN, else the actual public IP as
seen from the server (often useful anyways). Calling INTest(true)
additionally gives the latency on line 2.

Since this is small and not intrusive at all I can call it quite often to
monitor IN quality even on mobile.

Have fun!

axwald
