Maybe missing something here?

Okay, I developed my first app with some simple stuff. Downloaded to MacBook, followed the video instructions and dragged the BT_Plugins folder onto the project name from the Finder, ran the app and it is blank in the simulator. Am I missing something????

Make sure all the folders in your download package are in your Xcode project. There are some GUI files there that are needed. Mark

They are all listed underneath the project name in Xcode. It's just completely blank with a blue border header at the top.

OK, cool. Do you have the layout defined in your control panel for the app? Picking either Home Screen or Tabbed Layout, and making sure a screen is attached to it?

Yep. I have 5 plugin boxes and a home screen box. In the home screen (non tabbed) I put each menu item plugin name.

It's an either/or thing. You either need to have a home screen, OR have 1-5 tabbed screens. The home screen should be something like a button menu or list menu, so your user can navigate from there.

Okay. Got it. When I dragged the project folders onto the project, I selected "Create References" instead of "Create Groups" radio button. Mea Culpa! Works as expected now! Thanks for the help.
