Auto page load when entering app

I was able to do this on appgeyser, any way to do this with BT? I want, when you select the icon on your screen, for a page to automatically load, with no toolbar at the top of the page. example: push the 'test' icon, page www.test.com/index.html loads on the screen, no menu bar, or if there is a top bar, just the name of the app. Thoughts?

Hi @chrspe , The first thing that loads with every iOS app is the Default*.png image that you see in BT_Images. I personally use that as my splash screen. Seems like this might be what you're looking for? The default image is a black image, so you can just substitute what you want. Let me know if this helps! Mark

What I am trying to actually do is when you hit the app icon on the phone it automatically opens a log in page http://xxx.xxxxx.com/login when you login, you are then directed to a menu that is on my server. So my splash page is a login page Could you replace Default*.png with a url?

Hi @chrspe, No, you can't replace Default*.png with a URL as far as I know. The intent of that image, according to Apple, is to provide the user with a glimpse of what the app is going to look like while it loads, so that people don't feel like they're waiting for it to load. I have found that many companies seem to use that initial image as a splash screen, and that's what I do as well. I'm not sure how successful it would be to use it for the purpose you are suggesting. You can configure the first page of your app to be a log in page, either locally or on a server. Just use the Home Screen layout, and have the first screen be a Custom URL or the login screen. Should go well from there. Thanks, Mark
