All David's plugins are automatically downloaded. These are the Buzztouch Plugins. The Plugins Folder in Xcode is empty. You must drag the plugins into Xcode from the downloaded folder. I usually delete the empty Plugins folder in Xcode and then drag the Plugins folder in the downloaded project into xcode. Worked overtime. I don't recommend using the third party plugins as they have not been updated for Buzztouch 4. You will just end up with lots of errors.

There are several 3rd party plugins that have been updated, but it isn't easy to tell which ones have been updated as ther isn't a standard way of showing it. For myself, I've put BT4 in the beginning of the description. Some people updated the version number to 4. You can look at https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/

Probably obvious, but I forgot to mention the most recently updated plugins are at the top of the list.

So I am confused... I am paying $15 per month and can't make any apps thru Buzztouch until BT4 comes out?

Did you copy the images to the Xcode project?

BT 4 came out nearly 2 months ago. The good news is the iOS codebase is pretty solid. The plugins have been split into two sections. The core plugins, such as custom URL are now included in your download in a folder called BT_Screens. Look at it in xcode, there will be a lot of stuff in there. Your xcode project will also have a folder called BT_Plugins which is downloaded as part of the project, but it will be empty. Any 3rd party plugins that your app uses need to be dragged into your xcode project, into that BT_Plugins folder, just as before. It sounds confusing but once you've done it once or twice, it's feels natural. From what you've described, chances are a 3rd party plugin is the problem - maybe it's one that has not been updated? Also, if you are running self hosted, have you installed all the updates?

I did copy the images to the Xcode project... I don't think its a 3rd party plugin, I am just trying to use the menu with image plugin... just curious though when copying the image into the Xcode project where do you copy to? I know that might sound stupid as I would think its in the images folder... just trouble shooting

Just to let you know, I used the menu with image plugin the other day and it works fine for me, Are you remembering to restart the project after adding images,they do go in the images folder, and check that you can see the images in xcode, to make sure they have copied ok. Thanks Sean

The Menu with Images plugin also works fine for me. The images must be .png or .jpg files. Only letters allowed in the name of the files. No spaces or any other characters allowed.

Any chance you are not running the latest version of that plugin?

Hey caz. Make sure you have specified the menu with image plugin as your home screen on the layout tab of your apps control panel.

Still can't figure it out... how do you get the latest version of the plugin? I go to plugins and there is no "update" button or anything... I do have it set in the layout and all... so weird. I used to be good at this and now can't even figure out how to set a menu tab... frustrating.

Sometimes I find it is easier to start completely again. It might help if you go back to basics, do a nre download, don't use any 3rd party plugins to start, then build up your project slowly. I recently updated the original ios instructions that used to be supplied as part of the BT ios builds. I thought it might help anyone starting out and answer some of the recurring questions arising in the forums. http://bit.ly/BuzzReadme Completely unofficial but it might help.
