Config data invalid

Hello...So I'm trying out this iOS stuff and my first run through the simulator gave me an error: "The configuration data for this application is invalid" I checked the config text through jsonlint.com and it was valid. What the best way to find out whats going on? There are 162 to issues, but I believe that is coming form the new xcode update. Not familiar with xcode yet. Thanks-Shane

Yeah I got suckered into a 11" Macbook Air. Best buy had them $200 off last weekend. I figured it was about time to do iOS.

Are you seeing anything in the debug console that might help pinpoint the problem? Sometimes there are clues there. https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Problem_Reporting_and_Basic_Debug_v1.0.pdf Mark

You have a dodgy character in your config json check for the dreaded apostrophe in your screen nicknames Ron the config data through a json valudator. If that doesn't work look for \ between letters that you never put there

I think I found a / in a title. Didn't think that would cause problems. But, when I removed it It's working now....Thanks for your help

yeah it's the simple things, enjoy your mac environment you will never look back, I've got a 3 and half year old 15" macbook pro, I want a 27" iMac monster, I'm screaming for screen space, you'll get a bug and unfortunately it's an expensive one.

Thanks. I'm pretty hardcore google. They incorporate nicely though.
