The current version (and first official release, coming up) for iOS does not support externals. However adding support for these is a top priority and will be available in a new version within the next few weeks.

Addendum: Note that some care is needed here - of the top of my head I'm not 100% sure what happens when you interact with a UTF-8 database. However, the thing to remember is that UTF-8 encoded text 'looks' just like Latin-1, it just won't display correctly unless it is appropriately converted. So i...

Bangkok, Revolution can only exchange ASCII test with externals, database drivers and the shell. That's just a fact. However, it can exchange binary data through sockets, with PHP for example. Kind regards, Mark That's not correct. The externals API allows you to pass data to and from externals - b...

Does anyone know where I can find any complete application tutorials like the Creating a Video Library Application lesson that takes you from beginning to end creating an application. I am hoping to find ones that utilize database queries, and datagrids performing selects, edits, inserts and delete...

Hi Kevin, Thanks for your reply. I did read the case study. I have another question I was first turned onto runrev when I found Real Basic and wanted to see what other options were out there. I haven't been able to determine why one would choose runrev over real basic as they both appear to have si...

Yes, thats the list for members of the LiveCode Developer Program.

I don't know if you've had a chance to look at the Case Studies on our site, but there is one that does something that has some similarities to what you describe: http://www.runrev.com/solutions/it-sme-and-in-house-developers/case-study-it-systems-dubuit/ We have a lot of customers who use LiveCode ...

We are working on an update to the LiveCode server component, which will be built on the major architectural changes taking places for version 5 of the platform. That version number is an opportunity for us to bring the various components we have into sync and you can look for a server release just ...

Wow, that's great! For months and months I am looking for a development tool for mobile devices, which does not use javascript, and that allows me to synchronize my data via WiFi/3G! 4D chose a full web solution, and will not develop mobile client, Realbasic is not ready. With Livecode, maybe I fin...

Did you have any luck with this submission? It should be possible to do it with Apple's codesign utility.

It will be in the next build for iOS, RSN.

Just to clarify that response - downloading via FTP is in the next build. We'll have uploading shortly but I can't say for sure that it will be in this week.

That makes perfect sense. I've spoken to the developer working on the other URL stuff and he says that FTP support will work in the next pre-release build for iOS, due this week.

Thanks for your interest. I've just added a forum specifically for iOS discussions.

Thanks for your interest in LiveCode. It's not possible to use FTP in the current pre-release build, but support is planned. The next pre-release build will include support for downloading URLs in the background (load URL) and posting data (POST command) so you will be able to use those capabilities...
