Hi all Ali I would find it really useful if we could set a build number for iOS builds inside the plist file where I’m using the 'external test’ functionality in TestFlight I normally use my own way of setting and recording build numbers - and I’m happy to carry on doing do. But where there’s

Okay my standalone building bug is probably related to this one. I can provide any testing and feedback you need on this. For instance, I just quit all versions of Livecode, opened LC 8.1.2 rc1, ONLY opened the splash stack and NOTHING ELSE, tried to compile, and I get this dialog: A stack with

Ben, Your suggested model with the parameters would work just fine for me. I like it! Ali Different projects of mine do different things, but generally, for some of my projects, I grab a stack custom property that represented a incremental counter (which is basically incremented by 1 on every sa

Thanks for the feedback Paul. How is your build number increment implemented? On Tue, Nov 15, 2016 at 1:18 PM Paul Dupuis wrote: > I make use of the savingStandalone message in a few projects. Generally, > I would prefer a single message regardless of the number of platforms I > am building for.

I make use of the savingStandalone message in a few projects. Generally, I would prefer a single message regardless of the number of platforms I am building for. For ecample, I set a incremental "build' number on savingStandalone and I would want that build number to be the same for all platforms b
