The last developments I did was back in 2016 - five long years ago, using Indy.
Just for fun, I did a fast research and found out that there still might be
market opportunity for the app I worked on.
Trying to find out what’s new since 2016:

In LiveCode (Android) is there a suitable way to access Google API's without a
server - i.e. have direct request / wait / response receive method?
The aim is to provide a way to use Google licensing payment services directly
from the device.

Any experience on the set of OS/X High Sierra, with the latest update patch,
LiveCode 8.1.9 and Xcode 9.3 Beta?
Shoul I revert to Sierra and Xcode previous versions? Actually, trying to

Just to respond.
Thank you for the advices - very helpful. However, experiences with the early
versions (say V5-V7) made me avoid the grouping functionality. Maybe because I
could not manage the concept too well. So I have given it up and manage it (as
do with scaling etc) with additional co
When setting object layers, how do they work actually?
The documentation states the higher the number of an object, the control is
higher than the the object it is on.
This means that in case of two objects on top of each other a mouseClick would

1. When starting, the different windows still get placed somewhat in random
places
2. The tools window disappears; you have to switch it off, and switch it on to
see it again
3. The IDE just dies, doesn't quit from menu, you have to use Activity Monitor
to kill it.

this something I suspect as well.
As there are a zillion different Android devices with different performance
capabilities one has to use the belt and suspenders. In January I will be

That is true. However, just adding the single command "lock screen" before the

A few days ago I raised the question on how the device behaviour differs from
how it is in the IDE environment. The question posed was if there is a command
go card "xyz"

Is it comparable to the "move" command, where this is true, with the additional

1. In the mean while built just a double button scheme, let's see how it looks
with the devices. Look forward to simplifying back to single buttons with the
new icons for checkBox and radio buttons. "When" is my 2-3 year old question,
though. Just ask a nerd nearby to do the job.
1. Question 1:
What is the problem with getting the radio buttons "tick boxes" scalable?
Trying to remember, I asked about it for a few years ago, and the answer by LC
team was, it is about the icon??
I tried using switch button widgets, but the scaling of those isn't linear

When fixing a problem with non-scaling radio buttons one solution was to use
widget switch button, which can be scaled.
Now it appears that those buttons do not retain the setup theme, but you need
to redo it at every stack startup. Why not.
Actually the first question is why can't the LiveCod
The following is only one opinion of many possible.
First, you should consider automatic scaling only with a very restricted amount
of cases. These are for example sort of games, where the "playing field" is
the better the larger it is, and the icons / images and their relative
positions or mo
There are character set differences between the different platforms, when
entered in an app by the user. Characters slash "/" for example is one of
these.
Has anyone detected the same problem? What would be the intelligent solution
to overcome this? So when a user is typing "ä" (a with umlau
