Problem solved, so I'm posting this in case anyone else comes across the issue.

The cause of the trouble was


wait for 30 ticks


at the start of Card 1, which was intended to ensure the display of an opening message. This was causing some kind of blocking of the display, though not of the app ...

Further to my post, the suspicion has now fallen on a wait command on Card 1, which may be causing blocking and should probably either not be there have "with messages". The app has been rebuilt without it and I will report back.

Hi,

I have an iOS app that works fine on [EDIT: DELETE "the emulator and"] local testing, and has been approved by Apple for release.

However, on TestFlight the first screen does not appear and we get a blank black screen instead. (Also this phase seems to run a lot more slowly than in other ...

The bug has been confirmed as existing in LC 6.7.x and 7.x and having been fixed in 8.

Regarding LC vs Python, this is something I'd be very interested in myself. I've produced a number of applications where I've just assumed Python was faster, and used LC as a front end. I've never got a proper ...

It is indeed the first card of the stack. I'm loading data for the stack to work with.

Very interesting about timers and queued messages, and yes, "send...in 0 millisecs" should provide a good workaround for now.

I entirely agree about FTP. The application is currently for very limited use and FTP ...

I'm running 7.1 Stable. I'm beginning to suspect a bug myself.

More testing indicates the following:


#THIS WORKS

on openCard
send "getMyFtp" to me in 10 millisec
end openCard

on getMyFtp
--FTP stuff goes here
end getMyFtp



#THIS ALSO WORKS - YES, THAT'S ZERO MILLISEC!

on openCard
send ...

Hi Simon, Andy,

Thanks for the replies.

Simon's solution seemed to work for a couple of runs, but has now stopped working. And it seems Andy's method (inserting a simple wait for a second - even or a few seconds) doesn't work - but given the intermittent nature of the problem, I'm not sure how ...

Hi,

I seem to have come across some very odd behaviour and can't work out how to fix it - or even find a useful workaround.

I am trying to get the contents of a file via FTP, yet strangely I can make it work only if I launch an entirely irrelevant dialog box before the put command (I found this by ...

This bug, which has not yet been fixed, applies to the hscroll as well (I've added this on QCC).

I'm trying to start horizontal scrolling in the centre of a set of items.

Does anyone know of a workaround?

Hi,

I too have been having difficulties with this.

I'm getting a mouseMove before a mouseDown (in a single script for a group) on a simple mouse click (definitely not moving). This is consistent with Mark's tests.

Note that within the mouseMove block, a test to see if the mouse is down evaluates ...

Hi Bernd,

Works perfectly! Thank you.

I note that, at least in my code, it's not necessary (though doubtless better practice!) to declare the variable first for it to work. So it's quoting the variable name that does it.

Thanks again,

Bill

Something I can't fathom out is happening with revZipExtractItemToVariable when I try to extract twice to the same variable (using 6.0.1).

The first time works fine, but the second time returns the error "ziperr,illegal variable":

revZipExtractItemToVariable myArchive, itemInMyArchive1 ...
