Summary


I don't know about you, but I'm beat! And not just because it's 4 a.m., this mobile app developing business can be overwhelming. Even the administrative side of things can be quite involved. In this chapter we covered some of those less programmatic tasks:

  • Examining all of the options in the Standalone Application Settings

  • Fighting our way through command lines and red tape to get an app certified

  • Tried to get mentally prepared for submitting to app stores

We're at the end of the road as far as making use of mobile features in a LiveCode stack, and taking that through to the point of being a real mobile app. Next up, we'll look at a few add-ons to LiveCode that would enable you to use even more mobile features.
