Hi, I'm a new Gideros Mobile user. I've been writing software since the mid-1980s and have no idea how many different languages I've used, but I've not used Lua before except when evaluating other Lua-based mobile platforms. My day job is writing C# and ASP.NET systems. My first impressions of GM are very good. I like that you can take an OO approach when using GM. This community seems excellent and the examples and templates are very useful. I'll stay in touch
Let me start with a simple question. The "Export" function on the menu. Do I assume correctly that that is used to create the final app for copying to the device and app store, etc? Also, it is available only for paid-up users? (I imagine that is the case but I'm just checking in case I have a config problem or something). Thanks.

The Export function creates the files that you can import into Eclipse for Android apps or Xcode for iPhone apps. You can then compile the final app in those programs.
Also, you can export with the free version no problem, the only difference between paid and free is that the free version adds a Gideros splashscreen to any app you create.

When I ran the Export function I got the message "Inconsistent license file. Please run Gideros License Manager and update your license again." That's why I assumed it was related to paid users. So anyway, I followed the instructions and it's working fine now.
I shall buy a license when my first app is ready.
Thanks again for your help
