Is anyone else having problems with BT 4.0 App refresh or is it just me? I built an ios test app, but if I make changes in the control panel, they don't ripple out to the app. I've tried most of the obvious things, I've even tried just waiting!. The only way it works for me is if I remove the app from phone memory and re-load it.

Hi Allan, I have been able to get mine to refresh. I'll give you the code changes I made so you can try it yourself. Please copy your project first just in case it goes pear shaped! **** In the BT_database.m file, line 1415 change: if(itemRows.count ==1){ to this: for (int i=0; i< itemRows.count; i++){ add this method to the bottom of the file - //ehw jan 2017 sort out the tabs for the application, they may be old ones we dont want any more.... -(void)getTabsForApplication:(NSString *)tableName withRows:(NSArray *)rows{ [BT_debugger showIt:self message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"sorting application tabs from update: \"%@\"", tableName]]; /* DO NOT CALL THIS METHOD TO INSERT ONE RECORD.

Remember I'm recommending you do this to a copy of your project and I'm not going to say that this is the right way to go. I'm just saying it worked for me, I am able to update the app via refresh now, it was a case of the database updates not working as expected. If you do get it to work, please let me know, Liz

Thanks Liz, I will have a look. Alan

Implemented the above, it runs OK insof as the app does not crash. However, I added (or tried) to add tab menus, which are not working, correctly. But my original issue, with refresh is exactly he same. But thanks for trying Liz. Here is the scenario: App is on my iPhone, not connected to xcode. My app does not have tabs, home page is menu buttons. Label for the first menu item is "CustURL". I change the label in the control panel to "Cust-URL" and save. I refresh the app - the label does not change (It should). I close the app and refresh. Label does not change. (It should). On my iphone I double click the home button and swipe the app away to remove it from memory, launch it again from the icon, hey presto, label has changed (as it should).

FYI, Refresh was a bug in 4.0, fixed in 4.0.1.
