Deploying to iPad without iTunes or Apple

[skindoc4]

Hi

I develop for personal use in a medical environment. Currently I use my Macbook Pro and carry it around the ED and on my bicycle - it's a pain. I am looking forward to the day when I can do this with my iPad. I would like to use Livecode to build my simple application - which saves me so much time in EDs with dysfunctional IT = most EDs I have worked in - and then deploy directly to iPad without the tedium of Apple's SDK and $99 they want for the privilege. I'm not fussed by the $99, just irked by the idea of paying Apple when I am doing all the work. Jailbreaking is not a problem so is there a way to do this with Livecode?

I've been doing some searching on the web and I think I have found a way to a jailbroken iPhone without using Apple. I'll see.

Any luck?

I know it's easily possible using xcode, but not sure how to get LC to do it.

I've just successfully got xcode to send an app to my jailbroken phone without the need for the Provisioning File, but I can't get it working through LC as the list of profiles wont let me select one.

I'd be interested to hear what you've found.

I know you can put a compiled app on a jailbroken iphone, but obviously you can't compile in Livecode without a Provisioning Profile.

Hello Alex!

As I do not know what features you need, the following idea might be inadequate for you:

have you taken into account to build a "WebApp" rather than a native one? You could even *mix* LiveCode and a WebApp using the built-in Browser control of LiveCode.

WebApps may be officially "installed" on IOS devices without having to jailbreak them.

Hi Andreas

I had not thought of that. Might be worth looking at - thanks
