mobilepickcontact on ios8

Post by peramangk » Thu Oct 09, 2014 1:07 am

I've just run a simple test with mobilepickcontact on ios7 and ios8.

It seems to me that this command operates quite differently under ios8.
Instead of returning to LiveCode, the user is trapped in the "Contacts" app .
Cancelling out from "Contacts" locks the simulator.

The following button script works under ios7 but not 8. The stack contains just a button and a display field.

on mouseUp
mobilepickcontact
put the result into tContactRef
put mobilegetcontactdata (tContactRef) into tContactData
put "Here's the data:" & return & tContactData["email"]["home"][1] into fld "Contacts"
end mouseUp

Has anybody else noticed this?

I have to use LC 6.6.4(rc2) as that's the only version which will print pfds under ios8.

Hi peramangk,

This bug has been fixed in 6.6.4 (RC3). You will be able to download this from http://download.livecode.com/livecode

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
