In this case, you have to whitelist LiveCode in the System Settings -> Security and Privacy, and then right-click on LiveCode and choose "Open" from the contextual menu. Just double-clicking to open it will not work. Note that you'll only need to do this once, the very first time you open LiveCode 9.6 DP-3. For more details and instructions see here: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT202491 - The Browser widget's native layer is not shown in some Linux distros with Cinnamon window manager. - The use of the Browser widget is not supported on Ubuntu 18.04 64 bit LTS yet. Required Software ================= The current LC 9.x versions do support MacOS Catalina - but are not yet notarized. Notarization is planned for 9.6.0-RC-1 and subsequent releases. To build iOS apps with LiveCode you must have the appropriate versions of Xcode as follows: - macOS 10.13.4: Xcode 10.1 - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 12.1 SDK - macOS 10.14.4: Xcode 11.3.1 - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 13.2 SDK (also covers iOS 13.3) - macOS 10.15.3: Xcode 11.3.1 - LiveCode builds iOS apps using the iOS 13.2 SDK (also covers iOS 13.3) There is a full list of working LiveCode/macOS/Xcode combinations here: https://livecode.com/docs/9-5-0/faq/faq/ Note: Whilst we endeavour to release updated versions of LiveCode supporting the latest Xcode/iOS SDKs as quickly as possible; we strongly recommend disabling automatic update of Xcode or downloading the specific version of Xcode required directly from the Apple developer portal and installing it separately. Important: From the end of April 2020, Apple will only be accepting apps built using iOS13 SDKs. This means that, if you wish to submit apps to the appstore you will have to be running at least macOS 10.14 in order to be able to install the necessary version of Xcode.
