Answering my own question… I now see a note at the bottom of mergAVCamCreate that says "If only capturing barcodes or photos set the microphone to empty before calling mergAVCamCreate to avoid app store rejection.” So apparently my problem has a solution. At least as soon as I figure out how

mergAV permission dialog

2018-10-02 Thread scott--- via use-livecode
Recently had an update to an existing app rejected because the app asked permission without explaining the purpose. I believe that the dialog is produced as a result of including mergAV in the build. An automatically generated dialog is handy… but in this case I agree with the reviewer. My app

Name lookups probably only happen in the development environment. My guess is that everything is stored/referenced using the ID. I’m not sure how this could translate to LC in general though. Thanks, Brian On Oct 2, 2018, 7:04 PM -0400, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode , wrote: > Geoff Canyon wr

That's the result I get when I'm running in the LC environment. That didn't happen with a standalone. The dictionary describes where these files go: "In a standalone, the resources folder where files or folders specified in the Standalone Builder are located." It says your resources go in "the res
