Now, I am going to upload my android version. Since the map plugin is not working (currently) in android, I've removed this screen. How to publish this change only for android version without affecting iOS version? Thanks, BL Title Comments Hello BTers, I have created,tested and uploaded my iOS app on the App Store, everything went smoothly. Now, I am going to upload my android version.

Go to the BT_Config.txt file, find the "BT_screen_maps" plugin data, and remove it. This should solve your problems. Remember to always validate JSON data when making a change manually: http://jsonlint.com Jake Comments You can remove it from the JSON Data.

You basically have two choices: 1) If the 'suspect' plugin is called from a menu, if you use Chris1's 'advanced menu with image' you have an option in the control panel to enable/disable Android (or iOS) which makes it perfect for a cross platform control panel. 2) Create a different app solely for Android. Annoying, perhaps, but it's the choice of many.

Works well, seamless to the end user. The iOS version has a menu item for the map screen, the Android user of the same app won't have that menu item. Hopefully the locationMap plugin will be updated soon and I can turn on the menu item for Android users too. Tim Comments I'm using Smug's first suggestion, on an app that's about finished.

That's why I said 'annoying' ;) If you're self hosted, the Screen Copy Utility available for free over at BT Mods is slightly useful. But if you're hosted on BT, you're going to have to do it all manually... :( Cheers! -- Smug Comments Nope. You'll have to build the entire app from scratch.
