updates

I've added docs to my app, but when I hit the refresh button I dont see them... am I missing a step? My app is already published, and I'm trying to update some info... what am I doing wrong? I'm placing the docs in xcode, they are .xls

ugh, just searched the forums and read that I can't update embedded content in my app...this is kind of devastating. I have a ton of content that needs updating and there's no way to do it other than resubmitting... sigh...

There isn't any way to connect a file you compiled in Xcode to a backend server. That's the whole idea of compiling it into the Binary. If you want to change docs or content you'll need to use URL's instead of file names.

True story. Don't get too down about it. Loads of us on here update apps daily via our own servers (of which there are plenty of free and cheap offerings) as the man himself says just reference the files you want with a URL and have it hosted and you can chop, change and add as and when desired. It'll give you a load of control. This isn't a limitation, this is a truly great feature and benefit!
