I have a couple of "menu with image" screens that I've changed the itemNickname of. The itemNickname used to be "Videos (With Icon)", and I changed it to "Videos". The new nickname appears on the screen's page in my BT control panel. It appears in the Config.txt file. Also, the app works fine. However, when I test the app in the Xcode simulator, the debug message shows the OLD nickname. For example, when I tap on a screen, the console says: "screen of type "menu with image" and itemNickname "Videos (With Icon)"..." The reason I found this is because I was making some custom code that is based on the itemNickname, and when I found my code wasn't working, I looked in the console and found that for some reason the app is thinking this screen's nickname is this older JSON. That JSON used to exist, but it doesn't anymore. I searched my entire config.txt file (both in the project and in the control panel); I searched the entire Xcode project, and there is no instance anywhere of "Videos (With Icon)", so I don't know how it could still be getting that. I thought it might be the simulator caching something, so I selected a different device, and still got the problem. I've cleaned the project, and restarted Xcode, the simulator, and my computer. Anyone ever see their app somehow reference old JSON data? Title Comments The title of this post could also be "app is getting old JSON from somewhere".

So there's only one config file, and that config file has no reference to the itemNickname that the app claims to be finding. The config file says: "itemNickname: Videos". The app (via console)says: "itemNickname: Videos (With Icon)". Same itemID.
