app shows blank MY Home Screen When downloaded from app store.

When The Apple Apps I have on in the App Store are downloaded the first screen that pops up is a Blank "My Home Screen". Once that app is refreshed everything is fine. Does anyone know why this happens? Thank You.

You probably didn't update your config file prior to release so it takes a refresh to load proper app data.

You'll want to send an update to Apple after doing the following: Grab the config data from the control panel of the app in BuzzTouch. Once you've copied this paste it into the config.txt file in Xcode and save file. Do a clean then build and submit the new app. Now when users run for first time they'll see what you want them to see.

One important extra step after what MacApple suggests - don't make any changes to your app after you submit it to iTunes for review. That will trigger a refresh that the reviewers will get prompted for. Just submit and then resist the urge to tinker. There's a doc detailing Offline vs. Online, and various scenarios to consider, at buzztouch.com/resources. Mark
