I am following this tutorial to add push notifications: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/BuzzTouchiOSPushNotifications.pdf After obtaining and installing all certificates, etc, the next step for me is "Download your apps source code from BT server" My question: Do I have to re-download the source code or can I ignore this step? (I have some custom code in xcode that a new dl would overwrite Title Comments I already have downloaded (self hosted) the source code for my next app into xcode.

Give it a go on a device (not simulator), codesigned with the correct developer profile. Comments I don't know for sure, but my guess isy ou probably don't need to re-download.

Otherwise, all changes should be reflected in the 'bt_config.txt' file for the platform. I usually take a copy of the latest config data from the control panel, and overwrite my existing config data when I make a lot of changes in the CP. It just makes things a little quicker, but you can usually just 'refresh' the app data and you should be good.
