Best practice for submitting an App for iOS

I'm just wondering what is the best practice for 'generating the app from source code' before submitting an app? I've finished my App using Buzztouch, should I download the final source code so users don't need to refresh the app the first time? Or should I just submit the early source code I downloaded after I uploaded the icon and downloaded the source from Buzztouch before adding screens etc to my app? I am interested in how others approach it. TIA. I am using Buzztouch 1.5 developing for iOS Cheers Darrel

Hi ictguy, are you referring to the Config.txt file? If you want to make the app offline you can or keep it connected to buzztouch to update certain aspects of the app without uploading a new binary to apple...hope this helps?

I download new source code once everything is complete. That way there's no probability of users getting blank pages or inaccurate info.

Thanks for the quick responses! My concern was that if I submitted the complied app from the first time I downloaded the source code from buzztouch, users would be presented with the blank homescreen and have to refresh to get the updated app with all of its screens etc. It sounds like most people re-download the source code when they are done developing with BT 1.5 (compile/build and send to the App store) and optionally remove the App Data link to back to buzztouch. This makes sense, I just wasn't sure what was the best way to go.
