Hi all. I've been reading recent discussions here about saving substacks in standalones and have a few followup questions.
Here's the plan: The app is for Mac/Win/iOS and will use a stub (splashscreen) as the main stack. I'll put the app logic code in a substack and use another substack as a template for the user data file. When the user makes a new project, "save stack as" will clone the template into a writable location and "save stack" should work after that. If the user chooses to Open an existing project, the ask command will point to a user docs folder. Questions: * Since the App Store requires apps to be a single executable, does LC bundle these substacks within the standalone so they pass inspection? If so, then at runtime a simple "save stack as" could clone the bundled substack? * In the sandbox of iOS, where is a writable area? (I see "the documents folder" will find it, but is that a general folder or one specific to the app?) * I anticipate some users will want to make their file on desktop (for keyboarding) and transfer the file to iOS. Will iOS allow emailed document attachments to be saved in a place that apps can use them? (I see iTunes > Apps has a File Sharing control that seems to enable specified apps a way to transfer documents.) Anyone done that with a LC app? * Any other advice? The app uses a lot of formatted text, so planning to use the new field features. Thanks for your answers and advice.
