One nice thing about Android 13 (and I think 12?) is that it allows you to permit downloads by app, rather than toggling a global property. That way you don't need to turn on unknown sources in system settings. Of course, you can still get yourself in trouble if you give permissions to your browser and then binge download everything you see. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

permanency of an unsigned Android app on the phone?
Hi all, if I "Do not sign" my Android app and let someone install the app via Google Drive, will the app cease to work at some point like iOS apps do after 90 days (I think)? Thanks for any hint!
