I keep on getting this error when trying to compile my iPhone app " There was a problem downloading some required data. Try again?". Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I have run the json data through multiple validators and they return no errors. I will post the json data in the next post. If anyone would like to take a look at this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The Json data can be found at this link. Link has been removed.

All it takes is one odd character and your json can sometimes be invalid, regardless of what the validity checkers say. I haven't done any 'in-depth' inspection of your config, but the one thing that jumps out at me is your 'Chocolate Éclairs'... if the client end doesn't like the É it might balk in the app... change that out for a 'normal' upper case 'E' and see if it makes a difference. If not, we'll take another quick look. Cheers! -- Smug PS, it's never been an issue 'yet', but you don't want to publish your API key, which is embedded in the app JSON. next time edit that out before you show it to the public. :)

>next time edit that out before you show it to the public Actually, edit it -- erase the line starting with "dataURL":"https://www.buzztouch.com/api/app/?command as soon as you read this!

I agree with Smug that it's probably the É. I'm assuming this isn't a compiling issue, but rather a runtime issue? Does this problem happen with every screen that you try to load in the app, or just one...a couple? Mark

It's definitely not the É! Check the 6th line of your code, there's a " that shouldn't be there! Always check JSON with http://jsonlint.com - Bookmark it!!! Cheers Jack

P.-S. Follow the advice of SmugWimp and Dusko, ERASE your confidential data! Everybody can copy your app if you don't... (Check the 'edit' link on the right of your post)

I'm guessing that extra " is a type related to pasting the JSON because he initially said he ran it through several validators and they returned no errors. My bet is on the funky character, which I've seen be problematic before, Mark

You may be right, Mark, but I'm using 'funky' characters in every app without any problem... Er... I never use such characters in itemNicknames, just in case... So maybe you're quite right!!! In French, we have many 'funky' characters, aka letters with diacritics :-) Anyway, in French, the typing rule for an uppercase 'funky' character as first letter of a lowercase word is to drop the funky part (except for Ç)... AppGuy30 should spell it 'Chocolate Eclairs'... Cheers Jack

Yep, it's been special characters in itemNicknames that seem to cause problems. It's usually not an issue with things like a screen title, but I have seen that as well. Mark

Thanks you guys it worked!
