OS APIs change out from under the engine with expensive regularity, and all the while, even as mobile enhancements would indeed be valuable, there's a rather long list of other things we're asking them to do as well.
Hmmmm, at the end of the day, supporting iOS is (I would say) a great deal less work then attempting to support all-kinds-of-linux-distribution-under-the-sun as is evident by the unfortunate problems people have using LiveCode on many of the distributions with low 'market share'.
For example, the amount of time we have spent on trying to work out why the browser does not work on certain distributions probably exceeds the amount of time we have spent updating to support new iOS SDKs in the last six months - and it is still not resolved.
Would it perhaps be in the better interests of the community of scripters to put together a team to script those in LC Builder and let the C++ engineers remain focused on things requiring C++?
Indeed! That is one of the most LiveCode-user-visible points of the whole LCB endeavour.
