Bootstrapping and embedding an LC IOS app

Post by ooper » Sat Jun 02, 2012 8:08 am

Is there any way that one can run an IOS app inside a non-livecode app? Let's say I have an LC-based IOS app that I want to license to a third party, but they do not want their users to download two apps. Their app is NOT an LC app.

My understanding is that the custom URL is only between stand-alone IOS LC apps, or at least the app needs to be a stand-alone IOS LC app, which is not a suitable solution. I guess I am seeking some sort of bootstrapping mechanism between apps that are deployed as a single app.

Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
/Carl

Hi Carl,

Don't bother. Apple won't allow this.

Kind regards,

Apple will allow pretty much anything if you're distributing via an Enterprise license. But with that said, there's no bootstrapping option. You'd need to ship your iOS app separately.
