LC 7.0.4 Simulator IOS 8.2 Xcode 6.2 and emoticons crash

[lodijoe]

I have an IOS app that has kids use the keyboard with LC 7.0.4 and Xcode 6.2 on the IOS 8.2 Simulator to enter an answer to a math question. My app crashes on the Simulator if the emoticons key on the default or numeric keyboard is tapped. I can work around this if I have the app use mobileSetKeyboardType "number" so only the number pad is shown on the screen.
Tapping the emoticons key on the Search keyboard with Safari on the Simulator appears to work.

My program still crashes when I use the keyboard with LC 7.0.5 and Xcode 6.3.2 on the IOS 8.3 Simulator to enter an answer on the Simulator if the emoticons key is tapped.

If you want to be able to use emoticons within your stack then use a UI Native Text field instead of an LC field...

I use the following in my stack's script to prevent the user from attempting to enter any unwanted characters. You might find it helpful:

Code: Select all

on keyDown pKey
   put "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz `1234567890-=[]\;',./~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:<>?"&quote  into tTestText
   if tTestText contains pKey then
      pass keyDown
   end if
end keyDown
