This tutorial is the Tip of the Week on this week's episode of Buzzcast, and can be found here: http://idevdepot.com/including-quiz-data-files-inside-an-ios-build/ When I get a chance, I'll create a CodeShare file for this tutorial for those of you who use that method of code modification. Enjoy. Podcast is on it's way... Title Comments Similar to my tutorial on feeding a list menu screen, this will do the same for a quiz dataURL.

Originally we had the ability to remotely point to a URL that had stored txt quiz file. This gives you the ability to localize it? Correct? Thanks for the wonderful contribution. Comments Great job.

And my options were: 1. Enter 60,000 questions and answers into the control panel - NOPE! 2. Create the questions with the QuizMaker tool and remotely host the files - which are about 1MB in size each. So I didn't want anyone to have to download that upon launch. 3. Copy/paste 60,000 questions into the BT_Config.txt - Sloppy! So I came up with this solution so I could quickly output the files with the QuizMaker tool, copy them into xCode, and connect them to the quiz screens in BT's control panel. No additional modification to the BT_config.txt file is necessary. Comments Yup. Basically, my latest app I'm working on has 60,000 questions so far. And my options were: 1.
