Hey everyone! At the risk of sounding redundant (by asking again), are there any news on the plugin market & BT 3.0 for iOS? I heard that the plugin market would be re-opened following the release of BT 3.0 for iOS. I know that there's a lot of work currently being done to make this happen, but will this be a reality of 2013 or will it have to wait for 2014? Thanks for any update on the matter and I do appreciate the time & energy spent on both these matters! -Nicholas

Hey Nicholas - there's a good deal of work going on behind the scenes, but it's hard to say when it will actually go live. I'm holding out hope that it will soon and before 2013 is finished, but I'm also learning how easy it is for delays to creep into the programming world! I'm a lot less judgmental of software companies that take what seems like forever to release an update than I used to be. :)

I can't say exactly, but I know we must be close! I've been playing around with a beta of the BT v3.0 iOS core, and I gotta say it's pretty slick! If David has finished with the core, then it's probably just a matter of updating plugins, and the plugin market. But you know the drill… Little communication when his head is buried in code. Amazing things to talk about when he picks his head up. Fingers crossed, it'll be soon! Cheers! -- Smug

And just to continue the update thread ... @smug & @chris1 ... Do you know if Android push notifications in BT 2.1.9 is being actively worked on? Cheers Darrel

Darrel - It'll get there, but getting the new iOS core and automated plugin market out are higher priority right now.

2014?! I hope not..my thought process is more like "will it be this week or next week". I hope it's soon..my business is sort of on hold until it's released. But I suppose it'll be ready when it's ready

Thanks for the replies! I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for a 2013 launch... I've had a QR Reader plugin in the queue since November or December 2012. :P In Buzztouch, we trust. ;) Nicholas

I can't say with any authority, but if the BTv3 core remains as it is, you're going to need to do some more work on that plugin… Some things are NOT in kansas anymore. Cheers! -- Smug

I can't wait also! Some really exciting stuff in the que! AWESOME! @Chris, Do you know how much is changed in the Self Hosted software? I'd rather not redo my whole server :)

if you're still on 2.1.8, you'll want to upgrade in order to get the new Android (and soon to come iOS) projects. It's worth the hassle, which really isn't much.

Thanks Chris, If I share my server in tomorrows webinar you will see why it will be so hard to "port" (it is made up of lots and lots of custom features and code).

Well, you could always pay PSMDanny to do the upgrade for you :)

The ios7 is looking awesome, and the primary work that is left is updating all the plugins. Each one needs an update, so it's a lot of work. I think this will be the last time BT has to update all the plugins....by the time another core is needed the Plugin Market will be self serve and the developers will update their own plugins.

You guys are up late and I am up early. Some things never change. Hope to see all at the developers meeting today. Some of the new features are spectacular for iOS 7 Joe Sprott Bodacious Media
