First LC Submission to iTunes

2014-06-30 Thread Vaughn Clement
Hi This is my first submission to iTunes using LiveCode after 1 year of work. I have a few questions: Because so many things have changed with LiveCode in the last several months, would it be better to use iTunes Connect to setup the files for submission to iTunes? Do I need to add anything to

Hi I am following the guidelines in this link on the Apple developer site. https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/SubmittingYourApp/SubmittingYourApp.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40012582-CH9-SW1 In the LiveCode standalone setup when I select iPad

Vaughn, Not sure if you’ve received a response yet or not, but here are my answers as based on my experience. Yes, you must use iTunes Connect in order to begin the app submission process. It’s iTunes Connect that ultimately “connects” everything together. That’s where you’ll create your app,

I’m not totally sure about all the requirements to be honest. I’m not sure if apps will be rejected if icons are missing. Does anyone else know? My company has always supported all iPad models, so I’ve just gotten use to providing everything that LiveCode has a space for. You can still get reti

Hi Chris Your email is very helpful and it has pointed out several things I did not know. I recall awhile back seeing a description on how to size the icons for retina and then to scale the icon down for non retina icons. Is it as simple as reducing the icon to half the size or is there another wa

Yes. I’ve found Preview to be very simple for resizing icons. Start with the larger one, open it in Preview, create a duplicate (so you’re not editing your original), then just resize to half the size via the Tools menu. Super simple. As far as quality goes, I’m not sure if other tools are bette

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. Kee

Hi Chris I looked around Apple Developer Tech and did not find that article that described the requirements for the Hi Res icons, but in the iTunes connect managing application, the popup next to image stated the size and file type. So I used the info and wala it accepted my icon. Thank you Vaug

Hi Chris There is always a last minute issue "RIGHT"? From LC I created the standalone app, and found that the Application Loader did not recognize the file. It did not look right because it had a symbol like a no parking sign with a circle with a line across the icon. Did I do something wrong?

Now you need to select the file, right-click on compress it. iTunes Connect needs to have the file compressed before it will see it. > On Jul 1, 2014, at 2:41 PM, Vaughn Clement wrote: > > Hi Chris > > There is always a last minute issue "RIGHT"? From LC I created the > standalone app, and fo
