Does the mouseEnter event get fired on iOS?

I don't know, and I don't know how to find out . . .

YET!

I am currently downloading Xcode 4.6.3 onto my 2006 Intel Polycarbonate iMac running 10.7.5 . . .

This runs an iPhone/iPad simulator running iOS 6.1

But I don't think I'm going to get very far as I don't want to pay Apple just to test this feature.

The fact that prior to Xcode 7 one could not develop iOS apps on one's own desktop machine without
forking out money to Apple stinks to high heaven.

Having downloaded Xcode 7.2.1 (which does NOT work with Mac OS 10.7.5)
and put it in my Applications folder, the LiveCode 8.1.4
standalone settings CAN use the iOS 9.2 SDK inside the Xcode 7.1.2 app!

Don't always believe what you see!

However it is still throwing up messages about Provisioning Profiles (which SHOULD be FREE).

Please post the bug number, it will be interesting to see what the LiveCode team's view on this is.

I also found this works, in the IDE at least;

Code: Select all

on openField -- when clicking in the field, select all its text
   wait 1 with messages
   select text of the target
end openField
