I don’t know if your version of LiveCode is an example, but many applications need Java 6 in particular, and macOS comes with Java 8. The solution is to install the legacy version of Java as well: https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US

Re: LC #48 @TIOBE

TIOBE is obviously measuring a bunch of other things and assigning a fair bit of weight to them - if you compare the Trends data for RUST (#31/0.37%) and LiveCode (#48/0.18%) it's chalk and cheese... https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=%2Fm%2F0490j1,%2Fm%2F0dsbpg6 On 11/12/19, 12:55 pm

Mark Waddington gave the answer if need. I really want "shared groups" and not "backgroundGroups" Then the scripts are encapsulated. I turned off backgroundBehavior on all groups. A click on top layer button (no script) now registers in the stack script with its target. I tried it, Yay! Afte

Windows Standalone Performance

Hi all. Just wanted to give a heads up on what I think is the greatest Windows Standalone performance killer. When I first began to develop, it was done entirely on a Mac, and before I had any thought about how a standalone would work in a multiuser environment. As such, it was easy for me t

Re: Java update?

I'm running Java 8 with a lower build number (211 if I remember right, but I'm not at my Mac to check right now.) Java is required to build LC apps for Android, which I do all the time. If you look in LC mobile preferences you'll see the place where you need to specify your Java installation.
