Or this functionality has been removed? Could have sworn there was an update button, but cannot find it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ldanz4zl1l5cbfd/bt_managePlugin.png?dl=0 Title Comments I have some fixes for the advanced quiz but I cannot remember how to update my existing plugins.

I don't recall ever creating an app in the BT control panel... If it can't be updated, maybe you can pull something off with Stobe's snippet keeper?

Unfortunately, I never uploaded one of my plugins to BT before the old plugin market was closed. The problem might be that your plugin is not listed in the new (& minimal) plugin market? When I created plugins for my self-hosted version I usually created them in the BT control panel, synched the "empty" plugin with my self-hosted server and the rest of the development was done on my server. To be honest, I never tried to upload my generated source-code back on the BT servers, because I thought that this would only make sense if my plugins were in the plugin market. But perhaps this is not true and there had always been an option to upload the source code to BT just for your personal use in your account? Something like that would be needed for you right now...? It is a good opportunity to tell you that I would like see an updated version of the advanced quiz plugin on the BT server. I use it in one of my apps and it would be nice to get that app "up-to-date". Did you implement new features or are there just some bug fixes?

Delete those and and the errors are gone. Comments So far minor bug fixes. The only thing going red are the lines that allocate the app delegate. Delete those and and the errors are gone.
