Automatic refreshing is when your app refreshes it's data from Buzztouch.com without prompting your user to update the app, It will just happen (like magic)! This is especially useful if you do not want users to be using an outdated version of your app! This modification to your app source code will disable the prompt "This app's content has changed, would you like to refresh?" and instead your app will automatically refresh whenever any update is available. You can see images of the code at http://buzztouch.me/refresh. To update your project: 1. Select this file: - "yourAppNameHere_appDelegate.m" (the file will have your app name (eg. buzztouchtips) instead of "yourAppNameHere") This file will be in the BT_Config folder. 2. Scroll down to line 414 and replace [modifiedAlert show]; with this snippet of code: [self refreshAppData]; It is that easy! You just enabled your app to automatically refresh in BT 3.0.

Two novice questions: 1) Has anyone submitted and had an app pass Apple approval with this? 2) What happens if unable to establish or complete download due to connectivity? - is this handled by standard BT code? Thanks Comments Sounds great.

If the app does not receive internet connection nothing happens. The app will continue to operate from the cache. No extra coding required, the functionality is already built in.
