Hi Andy,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, I know well that is quite complicate and, probably, impossible to
do totally in pure LiveCode, so ...
... who has an external to *validate* the 'MAS receipt file' ??? It's a
commercial product ??? Where we can get ??? :-)
I think that very soon this will be a really problem ...
... both, Apple with the OSX app store and Microsoft with the new app
store for windows, have implemented/are implementing a similar system
for copy protection and in the near future we need some *LiveCode
functions* to verify the validity of these 'Store receipts' ...

I believe there is an external available however (from Obleo?) which takes care
of it all if you dont fancy tackling it yourself.

Hi Andy,
maybe you missed my previous eMail on this list ... :-)
Please, can you clarify how you *validate* the 'MAS receipt file' from a
LiveCode application ?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Guglielmo

Yes, a MAS reciept file is inserted into your apps package by the Mac App
Store*so you can check it is there_and validate its contents_*. It has a
hardware signature so you can make sure your app is valid on that system and
has not been copied to another system. If everything checks out you can then
treat the launch as a full registered copy and skip your trial screens.
BTW, another 'MAS' store feature is users can install the app on as many
system as they like by logging into the store on other computers and
re-downloading. Each copy gets its own reciept for each computer which will
validate, so while you cant copy an app from one computer to another, there
is no real limit to how many computers a user can install on if they want.
You might get away with the license agreement, ive seen apps that show those
first but when you submit an app you can also submit your own license agreement
as a text file so it does look like the app store has its own system for that,
Ive just stuck with the standard Apple license so its not something ive done.
