Have a look at the reportToCloud URL for an app in the control panel. Paste it in a browser bar. Does it return the last modified date? If not, somethings wrong ;-) Comments Not that we have heard.

These match exactly the moment you download your code. When you make a change the control panel the modified date for the app changes. When the app launches, it hits the reportToCloud URL to see if it's changed. You'll need to figure out where this is not happening. Open the console when the apps running so you can see what it's doing. It will NOT update the first time you compile then launch. It will check for updates the next time it's brought to the forefront or launched.
