I am brand to new to BT and developing and am very impressed by the sense of community here. Thank you in advance; I have a ton of questions and am excited to learn.

Welcome @Bodhim, It's great to have you here! We are a community thanks to David @ buzztouch leadership. Don't hesitate to post any questions you might encounter. LA

Welcome aboard Bodhim! You couldn't have found us at a better time. I see you already are working in the BTU tutorials. also check out the How To's section. This is a great link: https://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/Things_You_Need_Before_You_Start_Developing_Apps_v1.1.pdf Tons of great folks here, let us know if you need some help:) Ian

Thanks again. My first question emerged as I was following David's tutorial. I tried making the same app "marina" while I was following along. When I hit the run simulator in Xcode the build failed with the alert "use of unideclared identifier 'NSURLIs excluded from backup key'. Any thoughts I what I did wrong or missed?

Awesome you have some source code downloaded and working on running a project! What version of Xcode are you using? What IOS SDK, is it IOS 6? Keep us posted we'll get you up and running:) ian

Developer Information: Version: 4.1 (4B110) Location: /Developer Applications: Xcode: 4.1 (516) Instruments: 4.1 (4138) Dashcode: 3.0.2 (336) SDKs: Mac OS X: 10.6: (10J567) 10.7: (11A511a) iPhone OS: 4.3: (8H7) iPhone Simulator: 4.3: (8H7)

Hi @Bodhim, Welcome to buzztouch! I'm not sure I'd worry about building an app from scratch as some of the tutorials do. I'd jump into your control panel, piece together a test app, download the source, and compile! That's the best way to learn, in my opinion. And don't forget to check out the doc that Ian mentions, to make sure you have in place everything you need. You'll also want to update your Xcode to the latest if you can. You're pretty downlevel (current being 4.5). Lots of changes, and the new iOS6 SDK is pretty much required at this point. Let us know if you have any questions! Mark

Oh yeah...don't forget to sign up as a member! I promise you it's worth it, and it's on sale at the moment!

Thank you for the direction. I will update and try it out!

Awesome Bodhim, Looking forward to your creations and seeing you around the forum. keep us posted:) ian

Hi Ian, I have updated my xcode and have simply tried to recreate David's example. I am pretty sure I have duplicated his steps, but still get the build failed message. NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey. Any thoughts on how to get beyond this would help me to be able to identify my errors in the future. Thank you all at BT! This is frustrating, but I like challenges.

Hi Bodhim! I'm checking out your project now. Keep u posted:) Ian

I've since deleted it and I'm going to try to start over

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Bodhim, Your project is running fine on my end. There must be a setting in Xcode that's wrong. What simulator are you running? iPhone 6.0 simulator?

the iphone simulator is 5.0

What version of Xcode? We'll get it figured out:)

How do I update to 6.0?

In Xcode go to Build Settings- Base SDK- select Latest IOS. What does it give you? Let me know if you have trouble finding it:)

How do I update to 6.0?

Go to your Developer Account and check your Mac operating system against the latest downloads. Use this link https://developer.apple.com/devcenter/ios/index.action Let me know how it goes:) ian

sorry, for some reason this keeps posting. I am in the process of the update. Thanks for helping out.

No problem, when you hit refresh in your browser it double posts to the forum. Awesome you are updating. Way to go! Keep us posted:) ian

You rock. BT needs t-shirts of people like you for people like me to advertise! I can't wait to start playing around with it. Thanks!

HA! BT totally needs t-shirts! BT is growing fast and improving all the time. So glad I found this place when I started building apps. When you get a chance check out the Membership page. Really cool stuff coming and will continue coming. https://www.buzztouch.com/account/membership.php In the meantime happy app building and keep us posted. Glad your with us! ian

I will be checking out the membership page soon. I have put the cart before the horse before and want to make sure that I can put my flag on top of this "Everest." I like metaphors.

Cool! Looking forward to seeing your creations. Always here to help:) ian

Hi Ian, Is it possible to make the button screen the home screen or do I need to use "home" screen. Thanks Scott
