Missing Plugin

I am biting my lip as I write this...... What has happened to Buzztouch??? In the beginning about 2 months ago everything worked just fine. Then the android stop showing my images..ok everyone said android was a b.... ok I decided to do just IOS worked fine, even bought some of the the plugins they are great. Did a few small projects to get the hang of the plugins, worded fine. Now I did a project very small and I keep getting error "missing plugins: The View Controller for this plugin was not compiled in the Xcode project. Yes I downloaded the project, dragged the BT_image and BT_plugin folder into the project cleaned it then clicked run and get that nice white screen with the above message. Any help would be much appreciated

Since you downloaded the zip file, have you used any other plugins? In your zip, you have Custom URL, Menu Buttons, Menu Simple and Row Image Menu. Do you have any other plugins in the Control panel? Ed

No, I have not added another plugins to the project. Do I need to remove the other projects on buzztouch and on my Mac? Clear the cache, use a different project name?? I have removed all projects from my Mac and from Buzztouch. I will try building another small project and see what happens. Can you send me the config file that was in the project, I want to compare it to mind. I have issues in the past where Buzztouch was not compiling it right.

Check to make sure your home screen is set up in the layout link. I'm making apps all the time with Buzztouch. You will figure out what's wrong.

I have the same problem, it seems that the plugin is not in the package downloaded from the self hosted server. The same package downloaded some months ago, takes the plugin DIR and it worked fine. The recent one sayas that the plugin View Controller is missing. Have you found the matter?

In the Plugin list on the downloads page, if the plugin is selected, it will be there. Just make sure you drag BT_Plugins into the xcode project. And make sure that the checkbox is ticked when the dialog appears.

As you suggests is what I did several times but always whith the same result: plugin not found (in the simulator and terminal). Selected the plugin in the dialog box of the download page, but later in the Plugin Dir of the package download ther is nothing about this plugin. I also tried to download packages of other IOS applications from the self-hosted control panel and the result is the same: lost plugin...

Still not working, I think the problem is with Buzz, maybe someone should check the system. Will switch to coding in Xcode and forget BUZZ.

In the nicest possible way, you're doing something wrong. The Buzztouch Engine is a thing of beauty! Works fine for me, and pretty much everyone else. Follow my PDF in the How-To's exactly to the point. It will work if you do. It is called Code Signing your iOS App towards the bottom, it explains everything.

Well I have no apps at Buzz and started fresh with a very simple app. When I brought it into xcode I get the missing plugin right from the get go. I have tried loading old apps that worked and get the same error. I have search all the forums and see that others are having the same problem and getting no where with it. When I first started to use Buzz it worked just fine then it wouldn't work when I did androids then the IOS apps starting to have nothing but problems. If I go the xcode route then I don't have to use a third party, which will make things cleaner. Thank you for your feedback. I will try it one more time following the PDF which I have done before and that didn't help either.

You're going to have a great time learning Obj-C and or Swift! It works with the PDF, and that zip you uploaded compiled and worked fine for me. It's your end, definitely!

Say, one thing I have run into is with the home page of the app. If the config for the project has a change to the home screen, I have seen the Missing Plugin error. The solution is to put the new config into the project. Another thing to try is deleting the app from the device or simulator so that you know for sure that nothing is cached for the app.

This is not regular Buzztouch behaviour when compiling an app. There's definitely something wrong happening here. The zip file you provided me with above worked perfectly for me. Can you tell me what your Home Screen plugin is and what Deployment Target you're using? And what version of Xcode?

@Seiichi That package does not seem to be complete. Can you please download the ZIP file again from Buzztouch with every possible plugin selected. Ed

Screenshot 1 - Can you download and compile after clicking 'Check All' on every section of that screen? By the way, its 1:10am here so I might not respond for about 7 hours... I might fall asleep!

Hello, it happened to me too and all seem to be correct and I checked it several times. Alwayas there was the same massage: Missing Plugin, and really there were no the plugin files in the package. I could solve it extremely by download again the all self-hosted buzztouch package and update the instalation. Now it seems to work correctly.

I have solved the problem. First I removed Xcode 6 then reinstalled it and it worked with Christ's Advance menu no problem. Then I used Susan's "menu image rows" plugin and the error came back "missing plugin"with her plugin. So Susan I would sure like your help as I need to use your plugin for this project. I have published my first android app called TRIRadio .......yes, now I want to do the Apple version but need your plugin Susan.....please help, thanks.
