Hi guys, theres probably realy easy way of doing this, but i cant figure out how, i have an existing app in both ios and android, its in both stores, what i want to do is rejig the exixting app, while not effecting the live one, ive tried to take out cloud and data url, refreshed the app and its still updating, re downlouded new version from store, its still updating, how do i stop the app from looking for changes from, buzztouch core. cheers sean

also even though ive removed the data and cloud url, the refresh button is still showing on the first screen, i thought by removing the data url, it also removed the refresh icon

Your best bet is to create a new app in your control panel, named myApp2 (or whatever), change the name in the app configuration to match your existing, and compile it as an update to your current release. Cheers! -- Smug

how do you mean smug, you mean design new one fresh, my app has over 4000 screens

Maybe the App Copier plugin can help?

looked at that chris, but app copier still looks to the buzz core for content, which is part of the config file isnt it, which iis what im trying to do, bring the size of the config file down, as thats whats slowing my startup.

Was the app put into the app stores in "Live" or in "Design" mode? What does it say in the config file of the app when it was compiled? -- Niraj

live niraj :)

Your config file is slowing down startup? That seems odd. Those files are normally really small.

mine has over 4000 screens, my clients are happy with the app, just not the loading time, the only thing that speed it up is if i remove cloud and data url

Once it's loaded it should be quick, right? Maybe it's a slow connection to your server to check if an update is needed.

no its not, im at home, with broadband, and it still takes about 20 secs to load, if its bad connection it takes lot longer

ps im using the buzz server, thats why i wanted to try the url option, to see if it was any faster chris, also loved your copy plugin, but need to know if it can or will copy everything over :)

The only thing it won't copy over are files. And the biggest pain this creates is the Custom HTML/Text plugin, since that plugin actually creates a file on the server. When I get a chance, I'm going to fix that.

You know, I bet the delay is in the buzztouch server trying to create the JSON for all those screens. Try moving the bt_config.txt file to a text file on a server somewhere and pointing to that. I bet it speeds up significantly. (so, your dataURL would be something like: http://www.server.com/bt_config.txt. Be sure to also change the dataURL in the bt_config.txt too!

wow im gonna try that now chris, fingers crossed, let me know when the copy app is done, as thats something thats gonna help load when it comes to doing same app for ios and android :)

my config file is just under 3mb is that right
