Curious if anyone has a solution for making the 4.0 apps Auto-Refresh. The apps are not the current versions upon download. Once you refresh the app once it seems to do it automatically. However, it's not refreshing to the latest JSON upon download. So The only way to make sure a user has the most recent version of the app is to update the BT_Config file and re-submit the app. Thanks! Title Comments Greetings!

I used to do this little trick to try & force an app refresh - create a screen in your app control panel of a plugin that you know exists in your project. Don't link it to anything. When you want your app to update, open the screen, then save it. Next time you open your app, see if the app refreshes.
