Not yet, a conversion tool is in the works, but there is no roadmap to finishing.

Made 6 new 1.5 apps on buzztouch. Copied & pasted all content in from old apps, and had to format any text etc for HTML in the HTML pages (putting in <P> codes etc). Then you change four things/optioss in the plist file once its in xcode. Off the top of my head; the version is 1.5 not 1.0, make it the same name as the app you're replacing, put in the same app id name (com.websitename.appname) as the app you're replacing. The exact details are on the forum somewhere here as someone kindly told me how to do it - just searched for 15 mins and can't find the post :( Will post when I have it found :) Changes needed are very quick & simple. Then on the apple website, go to you app page and it gives you the option to upload a new version. Follow this link and then you'll be set up to upload a new binary to apple once you're happy with it in xcode. If your provisioning file has expired if it was published a few months ago, easy peasy, log onto apple, click 'renew' beside the provisionaing file, redownload & double click and all should be good then.

I'm looking forward to see this converter get finished. It would be very helpful to convert my iOS v1.4 to v1.5 because my apps are mostly static references and v1.5 can be made into standalone apps.

Download app and then in xcode, go to: bt_config>plist file These you'll want to be the same as your 1.4 app: CFBundleDisplayName CFBundleIdentifier CFBundleName This one you'll want to be a higher number than the previous. I went from 1.0 to 1.5: CFBundleVersion
