Hip Hip Hooray! 1.5 to Self-Hosted Server Approved By Apple First Try- AMAZING!!!

Hey guys! Just wanted to share the news. Last week <exactly 7 days ago> I submitted my app to Apple and just got approved....first try! This was a really big deal to me because this was actually an upgraded app. It was on Buzztouch 1.5 and I migrated everything over to my own server<took me 3 days>. Not sure if anyone else has done this before...but let me tell you...it was FUN! Advice...keep organized! Take notes and pray. A LOT! This little victory has proven to me that I am learning great stuff here that would take me YEARS to figure out on my own or cost a crap load of money AND time at a college. I can't thank you guys enough. Next month is my 1 year anniversary with you guys and I can honestly say now I AM A DEVELOPER. Here is some promo codes for this awesome $4.99 app for Nursing Assistants prepare for their state test. So far great feedback and truth be known...haven't even started my marketing plan. I will keep you updated. THANKS AGAIN! -Sheri 9NAWNE4YJJXH 3LR94XYWKXRF RWRELN7A73J4 XK37X3AFHMPP KETFKKWP3RRN YM4AMXYWFR66 RPL9TLMHNKN7 T9HP7P39NYME 4W3EF9L9TLFX WME64XKPMWMF

Super awesome, Sheri! I hope this app is a major home run for you! I bet there are tons of boards and twitter tags and facebook pages where nursing students hang out! Mark

Hi Sheri, when I downloaded your app it had old information on it and looked like a barebone app until I hit refresh. I assume you submitted the app to the app store with an old config.txt file. Just a heads up.

Hi Sheri, even though I did not actually check out your app I am sure it is great and extremely beneficial. Being in the medical field myself and taking my own boards, knowing that there is something like this for other professions is awesome. Perhaps we can talk together about creating an app for veterinarian technicians or even veterinarians to help them past their boards. Just an idea! :-) Howard

Thanks for all the compliments. Loving all of it! I post these little accomplishments to help others know it is possible to do this. It can get frustrating at times but the rewards are so much worth it. I just love this! @McGoBlue, GoNorthWest, & MrDavid - you three musketeers have been so helpful during this process. I am so appreciative on all the work you guys have done on this forum. Your tutorials, feedback and great advice has made this dream come true...it can't be said enough...YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! @ Susan ...been a bit out of touch because of "life" and putting my focus on learning more about coding side. Just got caught up on things. Finally got to hear your interview...you make me proud! <GIRL POWER> Glad to hear you are going for it! @coderx THANK YOU ...I noticed that on my first testing on both of my devices but before it uploaded it seem to be working...guess not. It seems when you refresh or close the app and reopen it then the new content appears. Fixing it right now...appreciate the feedback! @hasher13 WELCOME TO BUZZTOUCH! Congrats on state boards ! Sent you an email through buzztouch. I am always here if you need anything. You will find there a lot of folks on here that can help you with your dream ...just ask! I hope to update more on my discoveries. Didn't know who else migrated there app from 1.5 to self-hosted server and had issues so I thought I let everyone know my experience. -Sheri

Well done Sheri Im looking to do the same process - do you have any guides ? Is it just the case of creating all the same screens then copy over the code from the 1.5v config ? thanks in advance

I wish I had a better answer for you but ....cut and paste....it sucks. I am sure there are other easier ways but I just don't know how...yet. This is a relatively larger app because it has so much content and it took me 3 days to complete the process. I also put a whole lot more into it with revised questions and the job board. It was a real pain in the ass to tell you the truth. I was so not looking forward in doing it. Had to change my mind set....once I did that I noticed felt much better just seeing my app hosted on my own server. It is a milestone marker that I am learning so much and having something to show for it. I am sure you feel better too. Like nike says: Just Do It! -Sheri
