custom html screen not updating in live app (iOS)

I'm changing text sizing on a page in one of my pages as it's way too small on the iPhone screen, but when I update the html in BT (1.5), nothing changes in the app. I get the usual message coming up on the iPhone saying the app's been updated, and I say yes I do want to update it, but the content of the screen doesn't change at all. I did some tests, and changing the page's nav bar title works, just not the HTML. I added a bit of text at the bottom of the screen to check, and that doesn't show in the app either. Anyone got any thoughts? Is something wrong with BT this morning? Is it me? I've done this a hundred times before and it's always worked.

I have had the odd glitch like this once or twice in the past, but very rarely. I couldn't work out what I had done wrong, then I tried to refresh again later and it just worked!.

Happy to help. I have a theory that sometimes cached pages don't refresh or timeout if the network connection is a bit slow, but it is just a hunch. Moved to Canada? You're a long way from South London now! Cheers, Alan

Another idea - try creating a new page, put the content in there, link to that instead. It might work.

I have this same problem in an android app. i am using tables in html screen and have changed the size but changes are not taking effect. When i apply the changes the app knows a change has happened and asks to refresh but no changes are made did you find a solution yet

I never had this problem the last time i made an app in exactly the same way so i know im not doing anything different so maybe a buzztouch problem. I will wait a couple of hours to see if one of the buzztouch big fish can answer before starting a new thread.
