You'll need to create a new blank 2.0 app then... 1. Open two browser windows side by side One with the 1.5 app One with the new 2.0 app 2. Start copying screens and settings from your old app to new app 3. Downloaded the source code and then copy across documents, images etc 4. Compile and start tweaking the new version ... I usually make two "separate" apps when I need iphone and Android and this is the process I follow. It depends on the complexity of the app and in particular the number of screens you have, but I usually get most of the second app done in a couple of hours (as I've already sorted out the layout, navigation, graphics, html, jquery or whatever else you use etc) As far as I know there is no magic "upgrade" button. You'll find forum posts on this site about the why it hasn't been done - generally it's more hassle than it's worth. Kind Regards Darrel Comments Hi Jake, This isn't as a highly technical answer but many of us do like this. You'll need to create a new blank 2.0 app then... 1.

It takes time, but because you know what to do, it'll be fine. Comments Sorry, but you will have to use the method above. I'll have to do that soon as well.
