Take a look at this thread in the forum: http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30018
The issue where the GM and PM don't natively work on mobile should be fixed soon (already merged on the develop-8.2 branch). The example stack in that thread includes the necessary code for them to work now though. It also lets you see how the different scale modes work on a device. There are a number of different techniques that can be used to account for the different screen sizes on mobile. Using GM/PM has not been an option without some manual work. If you look in the forums there are a few different methods that are suggested: - Use multiple cards to handle the portrait/landscape switch (i.e. on tablet where the interface could be significantly different) - Write manual resize handlers that move controls based on the actual screen size - Layout the controls in such a way that screen scaling can be used without clipping One thing about iOS... if there is not an appropriately sized splash screen image, the app will only think you have a screen the size of an iPhone 4 (the default that is included by the IDE).
