I have a viable iOS app that I have previously managed to load into my own iPhone etc. Now I want to ready it for the app store. Since I last asked LC 9.6.0 to save it as a standalone, I have acquired a new iMac (runing Catalina) and upgraded Xcode to version 11.5. Now when I try to save my LC

Panos, what does “LiveCodeIndy-9_6_0-M Resource Busy" mean? Basically I downloaded the dmg and got that. No other version of LC was open at the time, but the machine (an iMac running HIgh Sierra) has not been rebooted since the last use of LiveCode. I will restart now - but it shouldn’t happen,

Thanks Alex - that’s solid gold! I might even be able to use the widget, though perhaps not for what I intended which was to draw a route consisting of a series of standard Lat-Lon coordinates, in other words a very large number of linked polylines. This is a tentative conclusion, so probably wr

Back to my problems with inadequate documentation on widgets. The Map widget is probably very powerful, but the Dictionary entry simple tells you the names of the parameters. I can’t work out anything about the format of the data you can feed in, or what it looks like when it comes out. There is

Sorry, how does this apply to a mobile app which hasn’t got a menu in an explicit sense - of course I can provide a ‘menu’ item, i.e. some kind of choice the user can make (I do in fact have a ’settings’ card in the app I’m producing, so that could be somewhere to put it), but it’s not obligator
