Windows app store

Deploying to Windows? Utilizing VB Script execution? This is the place to ask Windows-specific questions.

Windows app store

Post by mvillion » Sat May 28, 2016 10:58 am

Hello

I have written an app which I wish to upload to the Windows App store.

The only information I can find about this relates to Visual Studio which of course is no help as we are building in Livecode.

Is there ANY information or clue ANYWHERE about how to address this challenge?

Thanks
Matt

Hi,

probably you have read this page already?

Have fun!
All code published by me here was created with Community Editions of LC (thus is GPLv3).
If you use it in closed source projects, or for the Apple AppStore, or with XCode
you'll violate some license terms - read your relevant EULAs & Licenses!

RunRev told me that it is not possible to use Livecode to write code that is acceptable for the Windows app store.
Apparently it is a totally different code and API structure that is not compatible with the binaries outputed by Livecode.

I made the assumption that Windows was Windows but apparently that is not true when the App store comes into play.

I Think what you need to do is download the MS Centennial Tools and convert the livecode app to be a universal app.

You have just saved my (I dont' know) huge amounts of pain.

I will give it a go and see what happens.
