Building an App with livecode
Apart from doing educational apps which I plan to churn out, I want to do a side project to build a communications app with livecode, is it possible to create an app similar to whatsapp and viber on livecode, viber, being a bit more advanced and would use a whole lot more server resources, but something along the lines of a more advanced whatsapp. Please let me know.

Here is the "Chat" lesson:

But beware sockets are not yet supported for mobile devices.

Re: Building an App with livecode
To do a full blown multi user, anywhere in the world, dynamic chat application is a large task that will require the development of a server-side aspect to handle logins and route messages.
The sound part (recording and playback of voice over IP) is not something that the basic LiveCode stuff can handle as far as I know. You are very likely going to need an extension to handle that.
At this point in time LiveCode is much more suited to the dev of business/educational Apps and 2D games/animations - we can only hope this will change once people start playing with the open sources later.
Cheers,
Dave
