Encrypt with password - whole tab greyed out

Post by KimD » Tue Jul 05, 2016 1:06 am

Hopefully an easy one

- Indy License
- LC 8.0.1
- Standalone's being built for IOS and Android
- Standalone Application Settings > Stacks > Encrypt with password - is ticked and a password is present - but the WHOLE TAB IS GREYED OUT

Are my my IOS and Android standalones password protected or not?

Thanks in advance

Kim

Hello Kim,

I am experiencing this exact problem right now.

Did you end up solving this somehow?

Thanks,

Hi

There is a note in the Stack Files section of this lesson that might be helpful.

https://lessons.livecode.com/m/4603/l/6 ... n-settings
Note: If iOS or Android are selected in the Standalone Builder settings, the Stacks pane is grayed out. To work around this and password protect a stack, or add stack files, uncheck iOS and Android, check any desktop platform, and make your changes. Then uncheck desktop and recheck iOS or Android to build your standalone.
Alternatively you can set a password for your stacks manually using:

Code: Select all

set the password of stack "MyStackName" to "MySecretPassword"
There is an existing a bug report about this.

I hope that helps.
