Hello, I'm using the search plug in for one of my apps. As you may know ,the plug-in is iOS only. The way I've design it is a tab in my app says "search", and tapping it loads the plug-in. Works great on my iPhone/iPad. On Android, I still have a "search" tab to tap on, and it loads a blank screen (thankfully doesn't crash!). Is there a way to "hide" this tab on the Android version of my app so customers don't get excited there is a search function on their Android phones?

Your android app would no longer be live doing this though. Comments Either create a separate app for android or take your android app offline and point to a config file that has tab edited out.

Not only is the tab gone, but the other tabs have re-centered so it looks like there was never a search tab there. Perfect. Thanks so much SuVinay - if I could give you two thumbs up, I would!
