Hello....I have a app.ipa/Buzztouch install issue. I have all the provisioning done, my question is every time I install my app.ipa on 1 of my 10 devices it installs fine, but when I open it I see an old version of my app. Only after I go to buzztouch.com and do a random save then go back to my app and refresh will it look and act correct. When I archive it in Xcode everything goes 100%. No build issues (I do have some memory leaks and am curious if that will get me the boot with Apple). I have re-downloaded the project source code. No change. I used Buzztouch 1.5 to build the app. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Look at the Config file in the source code you use to create the .ipa Is it the old version, if so, why should the app not show the old version. That's what you put into the app. Fred

Hi, If you've redownloaded the source code, then that implies you have the latest BT_Config.txt file, which is what @Fred is alluding to. Perhaps there is some strange caching issue going on with your device? Have you deleted the old app from your device before installing the new one? Mark

Yes, deleted the old version.

What am I looking for in the config file?

Is it the old data or the current data. Open up the Config file in the Control Panel take a look. Now open up the Config file in the source code. See the difference? Fred

Checking now...thank you

Not the same....copying and pasting and testing now. Thank you!

Nope. No help. Ideas?

How do I reset the apps local data storage? Thx

The reportToClouldURL tells the app when to use the online Config file. By deleting the app from the device the localStorage will be cleared.

One thing to realize also is that when you download the most recent version of your code package, you get the most recent BT_Config.txt file. When you build...are you doing a Product...Clean, before building? Mark

yes on the Clean...

Well...I figured it out. I deleted the app.ipa from my mac and device. Then removed Data URL and Cloud URL and Clean, Build for Archive, Archive (this may be repetitious on my part). Then installed on device and it worked. I imagine it was a cache issue. Thank you for the help. I'm blown away at the speed of the responses. Thank you

Awesome...great job! Were you installing via Xcode or iTunes?

iTunes....Xcode always worked. I have another question? I have every icon 57,72,114,144 but no icon when I install it in iTunes. Thanks

Also while I have your ear....once I upload the app to the Store can I make live changes on it just like my Ad-Hoc version of my app...after it is installed on other devices? Thx

App receives data by various methods. A. The data packaged into the app. You must republish binary to change this. B. Via Online Config file. App must have reportToCloudURL for the app to request the Online Config file which will be cached in localStorage. C. Individual screens may use data URLs Fred

NICE!!! Thank you for that explanation! So as long as I have reportToCloudURL I can do a simple update to the app without having to republish the binary.

You can for the data that the app requests via the Config file. (The JSON data) Files that are embedded can not be updated via the Config file, but they can be created whereby they auto update and save the update to the cache. But you can change the location of the file source from embedded to online via a change in the Online Config file.

Word

Word files in BTv1.5 iOS can be embedded or linked to via a URL (doesn't worn in BTv1.5 Android) Or, posted online for access via Custom URL screen (this method works for both Android and iOS) Fred

NO....word = I get it and thank you. Word...

There's also a pretty decent document at buzztouch.com/resources that discusses at length, with examples, the concept of Online vs. Offline. Might be worth a read. Mark

Mark: What does Apple say about the size of your app? If you include a lot of data and the app is 200MB will that run the rick of being disqualified? Thanks

The only real restriction I'm aware of is >20MB requires a Wi-Fi connection for download. But seriously consider your app size as a whole...would you use 200Mb of your iDevice for an app? That seems to be the bigger question in my mind. Judging by the sizes of some apps I have on my phone, I don't think Apple cares. Mark
