Hi Ron, I think I might be able to help you. If you're using v1.5 -> in the 'Menu List' select the menu you want (eg. About Us) in there you will have two options: 'icon url' and 'icon file name': If your icon is on the web you should use the icon url option - http://www.mysite.com/snazzyicon.png If its on Xcode you should use the icon file name - snazzyicon.png (make sure you copied the file to Xcode) In v1.4 I'm not sure but I think you would have to code your way into this.

@snazzy - We anticipate v1.5 for Android to be released pretty soon here. Might just be easier to begin creating your v1.5 app right now, while we finish her up.

Great idea (and news) Parker! Is there anything that we should do to prepare our current v1.5 projects for this change?

@tony - Not really anything I can suggest doing differently at this time. What we are working on right now is enabling you to take your current v1.5 app, and it will essentially look and function the same on either Android or iOS. From your perspective the only thing that will change on the control panel will be a few screen options and the ability to download the Android project file from the 'Download project source-code' screen. So, I would recommend creating your app with the currently available v1.5 options/screens knowing that we are trying to give you the exact same features for your Android project.

Question: I only have a windows based comp. so running and compiling the iOS from what I have read is not possible. Apart from buying a mac is there an alternative?

@snazzy - The only alternative to buying a Mac is to make a deal with someone to take your project file and compile and submit the app for you. I know there are a few people offering that sort of service on the forums. But, as the control panel is a web based application, you can create a v1.5 app now with your windows based PC. You just can't run the simulator/xcode or compile it.
