Richard...
iOS 10.0.1 appeared as an update on my iPhone, so I guess it is out of beta. I guess I will have to stay with LC 8.1.0 as it is said to be stable now... I have just tested another stack that uses .lc scripts to query a database and with that one everything seems fine. I am just a little confused now why one stack does not work as I did nothing to it except upgrade... I really hope I don't have to 'rewrite it', as it were... lots of scripts to contend with...:-( Thanks for the reply...:-) ________________________________ From: use-livecode <use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com> on behalf of Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> Sent: 14 September 2016 18:32 To: use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Subject: Re: Another fine mess I find myself in...

We've had a couple reports of LC apps that work find under earlier versions of iOS exhibiting odd behaviors under iOS 10 Beta. Fortunately the team was able to resolve those, and AFAIK the Stable release of v8.1 addresses all iOS 10 issues, possibly including: > After doing this I noticed that the status bar at the top of the > screen was nudging everything down 20 pixels...

I wonder if this comment about splash screen applies to your circumstance: <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18327#c27> If not this is an excellent reminder of why we want to use the latest build of LC whenever possible, and almost always when a version of iOS is in Beta. iOS has well known to be less concerned with maintaining backward compatibility than most other OSes, so working with the latest builds of both iOS and LC will help ensure any potential issues are identified early enough to be addressed before release. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ____________________________________________________________________ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
