Hello, We released an app today and I realized I had a .com where there should have been a .org in one of my tabs. I changed it, and within the app I received the "This App's content has changed" I clicked ok and now the new website comes up but now nothing responds to touch. I can't navigate to any other tabs or navigate in the webpage in this tab. I tried changing it to something generic like google.com and it did the same thing!! Does anyone know why this is happening?? Please help! https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/covenant-church-inland-northwest/id591245298?ls=1&mt=8 Title Comments Hello, We released an app today and I realized I had a .com where there should have been a .org in one of my tabs.

The only thing I can see from the screenshots is that your "home" page is set to the URL page, which has no TopNav bar (so you can't even force refresh). You could try un-hiding the TopNav on that screen and test. And that's only a guess. Did you compile it in Xcode with the same exact config file that was in your control panel before you changed the .com? If not, that could make a difference.

Now forgive my noobishness but is there a way to update the config file in your app without a resubmit and a reevaluation of an update? Thanks! Comments Let me try that and see if it works!

If I change anything to the config file, it seems like any sort of touch gets disabled. The home website still cycles through slides as if its live and not frozen. It's just that I can touch any tab or move within the web page. :( Comments That did not seem to work. If I change anything to the config file, it seems like any sort of touch gets disabled.

The URL it looks at is in your 'Core Properties' Go to your 'Core Properties' in your control panel, and select 'Configuration Data URL' and click on the 'Open the current config data URL' link. That is the config file being sent to all the apps in the world. It 'should' match your configuration. If not, I'd start snooping in your screens a little closer You may want to cut and paste into JSON Lint or some other formatter so it's easier to digest. If it doesn't validate you might want to look for typographical errors and stuff that might escape the normal eye.
