Two developers/version control with monthly package

Hi, I'm looking at the cross platform monthly pay-as-you-go option, but am wondering if this allows for two developers to use LiveCode under this single subscription, or if two are required?

GPS based push notifications

Hello, first post here. I'm about to start a project for deployment on iOS and Android, most likely with LiveCode, which will involve push notifications being sent to users (via PHP/web) and only displayed to users if they are in a certain area (doesn't have to be too exact). Is it possible to do th...
