Bill, thanks to you and to the ever-helpful Matthias. I have in fact got used to dropDMG, so I will probably stick to that. I do already have a link to the Trevor/Monte signing app, so it looks as if this is all coming together.
I wonder if we are in the minority in finding all this such a PITA. There are after all a lot of successful LiveCode developers, but these deployment issues don’t appear that often on this list. Yet I can’t believe that anyone could find this stuff straightforward when they first try it. Onward!
