I assume CEF doesn't build the WebRTC support in the Chromium project by default because it has extra dependencies on the audio stack. I guess LiveCode could include such support if it wanted. Does LiveCode plan to bundle CEF on Android? Given the built-in web view in Android is already based on

Again, maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m fairly certain the app *will not* be rejected if a splash screen is missing. It is recommended, but not required. A splash screen is especially helpful if your app takes some time to load. Otherwise, probably not absolutely necessary.

Livecode always returns true if you test an array for empty, although I think that behavior might have changed in a recent release. test[data] is an array since it has the a1 subkey. I think this will tell you if test[data] has any subkeys or not and thus whether it's empty or not: if test[data]
