List of iOS Apps Created with LiveCode Inspiration Thread

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to know if there is a resource or link that lists apps that have been produced using Livecode. I know in other sites, they would have a gallery that would extensively list samples.

Optionally, if you have an app created with Livecode, please list it here. It would be great to see what's been produced and can serve as inspiration for others like myself. I've only been using it for a few days and I'm very impressed with it so far.

Thank you.

I already have a couple of Apps on the iTunes store:

HexThello - (Paid) Game
Basic Electronics - (Paid) Learning
HexClock - (Free) Utility

These were all done with Livecode. More coming soon.

Basic Electronics took the longest time - due to the content. + 10 days for Apple approval.
Hexthello took a week of coding + 9 days for approval from Apple!!
HexClock was written overnight + 9 days for approval ;)

LC can definitely be used for dev work, but certain types of App are easier than others.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,

@Codemonster, thanks for opening this thread.

@Dave, nice apps there...
Thanks for sharing; it's always good to see what can be achieved via LiveCode, our friendly platform.

Here is one from me:
Etud - (Free) Business, Turkish
There are 14 more but they all are so ugly :( not my fault though, due to the taste of my customers...

Let's keep this thread alive, please share your works.
It's an inspiration source, at least.


Best,

~ Ender Nafi

Casey's Solitaire is in the App Store, Google Play Store, and Amazon Store. It uses only a single code base with very little branching required.

Experimental, but running without problems, this application, totally written in LiveCode (... no externals), run in background :

iTunes (free) : NMEA gpsRecorder

On the actual version (1.0.1) there is a little error, new version (1.0.2) already submitted and waiting for approval ;)

Hi Guglielmo,
(... no externals), run in background :
What the :shock:
As far as I know, LiveCode doesn't support background tasks.
Is there a change in engine, which I don't know?
I'd be glad if you inform us just a bit 8)

Best,

Hi,
it's true, for this I wrote "Experimental" because require an "RunRev unsupported" change into the Settings.plist (... with no guarantee of proper operation) ...


People interested in "background task" must carefully read this Apple document :

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/ ... sFlow.html

... where it's clearly explained the use of .plist keys and the involved messages (which, if you need, can be received and handled using the Monte mergeNotify external).


On normal Apps (so ... not using UIBackgroundModes), if, on the "applicationWillResignActive", you need more than few seconds (max 5) to save your info (... or to terminate what you are doing), you can use the Monte mergBgTask external to ask to the OS more time (max 10 min).

Finally remember that, one time your App go "Suspended" is possible that, if iOS need resources, it's killed (... entering "Not Running" status) without any message, so ... if you need, remember to save settings when you leave the "Active" status.

That's all :)

Wow great stuff everyone!

This is becoming a good list of apps already and I am inspired by this :D

This next few weeks I'm going to start to draft up some plans for my own app and see how it goes. I'm sure it's going to take a lot of work but I know LC already makes it easier than coding it out in Objective-C.

Colleagues

Good idea to create this thread.

We have produced a number of iOS Apps, which are all in the App Store. You can see our current range at:

All the best with all your coding endeavours.

Great idea!

My dad and I put out "Flat Out Fitness", a fitness timer for high-intensity interval training, that is sold on the App Store, Amazon Marketplace, and Google Play.

App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/flat-ou ... ?ls=1&mt=8
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... outfitness
Amazon Marketplace: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009C0 ... ut-Fitness

We're working on another iOS app that should be out for the New Year, which is much more technically complicated.
