You can choose a large image designed in such a way the content on the sides or
top can be clipped or you can choose a smaller image and have the background
visible.

I am puzzled by how we should approach this for apps that work on both iPhone
and iPad? It seems we choose an iPhone image and an iPad simply has a
background border around and iPhone shaped splash?

The splash images are not scaled or stretched. They are centred on the launch
screen. You can use any size image. There’s two main options to choose from
here.
- use a logo PNG with transparency and rely on the background color to fill the
rest. You can choose from using the system ba

What has worked for me for 8 years is to keep all Xcode versions in a separate

Revsecurity.dll is still needed. At least it is still in the runtime folders.
There are a 32 and 64bit versions available.
You should use those instead of the one that is in your stacks folder.

Heh, sorry for the confusion :)
We recommend:

Update Xcode yourself via Apple. Best practice seems to recommend keeping the
older files in a separate folder.

I am not sure if this might be the problem, but what version of 9.5.1 are you
running? 32 or 64 bit?
If 64bit, maybe there is a problem using 32bit externals on a 64bit LC IDE and
you should try the 32bit version of 9.5.1. But that´s just a guess.

Hello Ralph,
I'll leave this for Monte to provide more details, but my understanding is

Panos,
Thanks. A few questions
1) There used to be an error message to let you know the correct resolution.
Does this not make sense now?
2) If we use 2048x2732 for the 3x image what resolution should we use for
the 2x and 1x? Or do we need the 1x and 2x images at all?
3) So I assume since Apple
Hello Ralph,
I believe that if you just set the 3x image to the largest image you used
before (e.g. use a 2048x2732 image), then the storyboard mechanism will
take care of the rest and scale the image automagically to fit all screen
sizes. At least this was the case in my tests.

Hi Andy,
Yes, tMins has to have a value or the statement makes no sense because LC has no
context for what you are trying to do. LC doesn’t know if tMins is a string or
something else.

Do you have an earlier line where you have set tMins? If it has never been set,
would you export tMins/60 to work?
Aside from that, there was a change in LiveCode 7 or 8, where you could no
longer create a variable on the first line that it is used. You need to have
declared it earlier on.

Tiemo,
are you using the externals that are included with LC or 3rd party ones?
If the latter, did you check the following lesson already about How to use 3rd
