I have an interesting problem. But I must first say that I have often 
experienced a script that doesn't work properly at first but then after going 
through it once  in debugging mode with no errors it subsequently DOES work 
without making any changes whatsoever. I don't know if anyone else has 
experienced this, but I have on numerous occasions. A little weird, but not 
horribly inconvenient. When a script doesn't work, I go through it line by line 
in debug mode (as anybody would) and then the script works in the IDE and 
standalone as long as there was no error in debug mode!?!

Now I have a script that when it executes seems to lock the screen after one 
speceific line, so none of the visual changes after that point are shown, but 
the script runs to the end and then all the changes that happened invisibly are 
indeed there. What is especially interesting is that this is an iPad app, with 
two app stacks for the two screen different resolutions. All scripts are 
identical with the exception of location and size references of course. In this 
script there is no" lock screen" line. The regular resolution scripts all work 
perfectly, as do all of the retina display scripts with this single exception. 
I have gone through it several times in debug mode. If I put a breakpoint at 
the line where it seems to lock the screen and then go line by line it works 
with no errors. If I move the breakpoint a few lines down, it locks and the 
same line and stays locked until the new breakpoint, after which it works fine. 
But in regular mode the screen seems to lock at that same point
  and stays locked until the script ends. Then all the changes are there. I 
don't even know if this makes sense at all. Suggestions are indeed welcome!

The regular resolution app is on my iPad Mini and the retina app is on my iPad 
3. I use Livecode 5.5.1 on a previous generation iMac.

Speaking of LiveCode 5.5.1 - I recall a post stating that iDevice apps made 
with 5.5.1 would automatically rejected. Is there a patch or fix for this?

Besides that, I thought I remembered on an older version of the RunRev site a 
place where Runrev developers could make their paid services available and 
people like me needing help and are willing to pay for it could find them. Or 
am I imagining this? At any rate, I would like to pay a real LiveCode pro for a 
little help (in my estimation a few hours worth) with an iPad app. Where should 
I look for somebody? I don't think this forum is the right place for this
