Eagles Season 2014

Ohmigod - this is so unexpected. I'd waited and hoped. I thought my icons might still be too too iconic, but - bangalang- iTunes approved. Android up. I've done it. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hornsby-berowra-eagles-season/id809769934?ls=1&mt=8 I ummm haven't really prepared a speech. Ohmigod - I LOOOVEVE ALL YOUOO GUUUUYYS!! Buzztouch. Yeaaah BUZZZYYY! I couldn't have done any of this without you. From simple menu all the way to my 3 billionth custom URL screen - what a great friendly platform. I can't wait to do it all again. I also want to thank all the people in the forum that have helped, sympathised, humoured. Particularly GoNorthWest Mark, who not only made the email pic plugin that is so useful, but became my Android go-to guy. Awesomely generous with time and expertise ... man ... bro ... I'm *fights back tears* *heroically* *deep breath* Thanks so much to my kids - and the beautiful woman at home that makes all this possible. Luvya honey. And of course to the Eagles. Go Eagles! The greatest Junior AFL team in all of Sydney. Wait - what? This isn't the Brownlow? Not even the Grammys? Oh *pause* Awkward *kicks ground* Well thanks everyone. Look I made an app. Where there never was an app. (Sondheim joke) Thanks! Woohoo!

Awwww you guys :-) Thanks again for everyone's help - was a few long nights and the odd hair pull from frustration, but good fun - and I hope the app is useful to a few people. Already thinking V2 - context menus - better design - etc etc etc etc .

Nice app! That fight song is now going through my head, "We are the mighty Hornsby Eagles ..." The Contact button is missing from the home screen. It is showing a ?-mark Icon, which means the file cannot be located. I share your excitement, let us know about your next app! :-) -- Niraj

Yes - it's weird that - (and I got your picture - thanks!) I think I may have been back a version in what I submitted - and it was the only name change (removing a hyphen in contact-us.png) as you do... I've published the change, and once the app refreshes it's fine, I will have to look into it. Sigh - Do a new build - submit - wait - redo :-) Thats Ok - I was thinking of adding the timer - and redoing an icon and get push working ... and ... and .... :-)

I killed the app by double-clicking on the Home Button and then swiping it up up-up-and-away. Then I waited the requisite 10-seconds to allow for any background activity. Then I launched the app to see if it would reload the configuration from the Buzztouch server. It did not ask me for permission nor did it auto-reload the configuration. An idea ... Make the Contact button image point to a URL, instead of directly to a file. The image file is hosted on the Buzztouch server. Simply use the URL to that image for that Button. A new launch of the app will result in an update to the configuration file. Which switches the Button's image from being local to a URL-based image. The image gets downloaded and then cached for every subsequent launching of the app. Give it a try! It's a neat technique for sidestepping the Apple App Store publishing process. -- Niraj
