I am creating an update to one of my apps, but if I add a menu tab to an exsisiting live app will I screw things up for the live app?

But, generally speaking, if you're app is connected to your control panel, and you add a new tab, it will appear when the app refreshes it's content. Keep in mind that when you do add a new tab, and select an icon, that icon will need to exist in the project that you already compiled. It may or may not? Check the project that you compiled "before" and see what artwork resources in includes. If you use an "image name" for an icon that doesn't exist, it won't work as expected and will show a missing icon in the new tab. Comments Naturally there are tons of ways to do this.
