How do I copy the config file from one app (iPad) to create another one (iPhone)....then link the duplicated app to a new Control Panel using a new buzztouchAppId and the buzztouchAPIKey. Sorry....let me clarify. I created my iPad app and embedded my PDF's. Once the iPad was complete (almost everything is universal except for the PDF's and embedded images) I copied my BT_Config file. Next I created another app and named it iPhone. I then downloaded the source code and opened it in Xcode. I pasted the BT_Config file and ran the code on my iPhone and it worked perfectly. The only problem is that I need to make separate changes to the iPhone version and can't do that with just one control panel. My question is how do I take the API/key from the new control panel and incorporate it into the copied BT_Config.txt file? Thanks

It won't work because the Config file is merely reflection of the database in the control panel. you make changes in the control panel you are not modifying the Config file. You are modifying the database. The Config file is constructed from the database. So taking the API/Key and placing it in the Config file won't accomplish what you seek. Fred

Thank you...great explanation!

So can you explain the point of even copying an app with the BT_Config.txt file? You have zero "independent" control over it.....or am I missing something. *** I guess I could see the point for images (embedded vs: url) but it just so happend that since my dependencies is with a page that you can't specify iPad/iPhone (PDF) I am forced to build 2. Correct?

You have lots of control, perhaps not with the Control Panel, but there's no rule that says thou shall only use the control panel. The control panel only provides a interface that non-programmer types can understand. By learning to manipulate the Config file you are free to roam about the app world. Fred

I've not found any in-depth tutorials on how to programmatically change the app? I've seen your post about moving the BT_Config.txt file but nothing as you just wrote. I would be eager to learn.

Buzztouch U android learning path/configuration data. David explains the configuration file and how you can manipulate it. Its worth the time to watch the videos and take the quizzes. Should mention it applies to both ios/android

WOW!!! Buzztouch U is REALLY awesome. The moment I read your post I started watching videos and learned I think 2 ways to do this....tell me what you think. 1. Create a custom UIViewController and add it to the iPhone (remember I need to URL my PDF's for the iPhone version...embedded for the iPad) version only. VERY rough idea here... 2. Create a copy of the iPad version and remove the Configuration and Report to Cloud options. Then just copy and paste the iPad version of the BT_config.txt file and change ever instance in the BT_screen_webView from the embedded PDF to one that is on my server. I am fairly confident that the second option will work...my fear is from here on out I will have to update the app manually. Now if all the PDF code is grouped together I could just cut that out and then copy the updated BT_config.txt file and then paste the "my custom" BT_screen_webView? Let me know your thoughts....thank you

Two will work. I would actually suggest my third party online Config solution for both versions. Leave the report2ClouldURL alone. Version 1: iPhone - with Dropbox online Config file Version 2: iPad - with Dropbox online Config file Version 3: Buzztouch online Config file use this for development Question is how to group the PDF Config screen info in the Config file. Perhaps if you create those screens subsequently. Fred
