This is one of those things that is more involved. You can read up on it by searching for those terms on the list, but the abreviated version is copy livecode out of your applications folder right-click and view package contents drill down to the engine for the ios devices you are targeting (see t

Mike, I haven't tried that. I fire up my iOS dev projects rarely enough that my skills with the intricacies are pretty rudimentary. For now, just keeping the app from going to sleep is good enough. Thanks again for your help. The step by step procedure, with your comments on several "gotchas" w

AFAIK, you can't do this on iOS for just a timer. I was told from someone high up in Apple that the phone will automatically end or reset a backgrounded app after roughly 10 minutes or so (at most). Audio is a different story, because Apple allows music-playing apps to run when backgrounded, but
