Does the iOS Exporter support unicode without the MMF unicode-addon?

[jimmyorpheus]

Hi,

I am using MMF Dev Build 255 with the iOS-Exporter.

When I built an iOS-Application and use the array-object to
save a string with unicode-characters (like ö or ß ) to an array-file,
I just get back an empty string on my iOS-Device (iPad 2),
when I load the saved string from the array.

So I tried using the ini-object instead of the array object,
and when I use an ini-file, it's all ok as long as the application
is running, but when I save a string with special unicode
characters like ö or ß to the ini-file and then completely
restart the application and then load the saved string from
the ini-file, all the special unicode characters are replaced by
some strange ASCII-characters.

I thought that the iOS-Exporter would support unicode
or do I also have to purchase the MMF unicode-addon
to get unicode support for the iOS-Applications that
I create with MMF?

best regards

Jimmy

Isn't there anyone who knows the answer?
I have to know if I have to purchase the MMF-unicode-addon
to create unicode conform ios games?

There is only one iOS runtime, that supports ascii and unicode applications. The decision is taken at the very start of the loading of the cci file.
Once in unicode mode, then all the rest in the game is unicode.
The only way to save a unicode cci is to use the unicode add-on.
