Flashlight Feature issue

Hi all, Basically, if you press the light on, then go to another view, this view is not unloaded properly and the light stays on. If you return to the flashlight view to turn it off, you cant! I've not had a look at the code but it needs some sort of release when leaving the view. It will be quite a useful plugin when fixed but as it is feels unfinished.

I just got one of the new iPads last week and when I install my app and try loading my flashlight page it's just a blank screen.

Hi Alex, As kittsy said, the update literally was submitted two months ago, and still no update. I apologize for this. I also submitted a crucial update for other plugins, and those haven't gone through yet either. I've asked Susan about them, but she basically told me that it's behind a long list. Sorry again. This is one reason I have stopped making plugins, very frustrating to update them - not anyones fault, but it is simply too frustrating. Hope you have it all fixed. David

David is going to start work on updating the plugins today. In addition, there were three new plugins that were approved last week, so it could be a busy few days on the market. @CrownSolutions has added limited Android functionality to the Circle Plugin, so that may be like a new plugin for those of you who only purchase plugins that work on both iOS and Android.

Thanks Susan appreciate it. Like I said, it's no-ones fault, just trying to make people understand that this and the other errors that keep getting reported I fixed and sent updates for months ago (but still get yelled at in email/pm's about "when they will be fixed"). Cheers, David

What is the process on plugins and why is there such a backlog? BT relies on many things to be successful and ticks every box but if plugin developers don't see any worth in producing plugins the site can't move forward. Just wondering if it is policy to drip feed plugins which I'd completely understand if it is the case ;)

Does the submitted update work on iPad? Is it supposed to work on iPad now? I've looked at the code and can't figure out why it won't...

Just downloaded the updated plugin... Still doesn't work on iPad. And it brought up some warnings, wasn't using the new terminology David implemented with last update. Easy fix though.
