How would I go about setting up my app to use a different config.txt file depending if it was iPhone vs iPad? The reason for this is that there are some screens in the iPhone version I don't want to have in the iPad version. Josh

There is some logic in the app_delegate that you could "hijack", or you could add your own logic. It gets a little confusing depending on if you're compiling an "offline" or "online" app, but in can be done either way. Sorry for the vague answer, but I'll be happy to help you out more when I know a little more. I'm working on some similar logic options for my App Transformer plugin. -Chris

Well, it's a cheat. and you'd have to do it on all screens (present and future). In the 'viewDidLoad' method, you can always add: if([appDelegate.rootApp.rootDevice isIPad]) { // code to hide, or display different stuff } else { // code to show on an iPhone } Just a thought. Nipping it at the bud as Chris describes would probably be 'best' if you can do it. But if it's not 'too' many screens, you can do a quick/dirty cheat. Cheers! -- Smug

I think it would be easiest to set a switch from the CP to be able to control the screens. This would need a bit of logic as Smug has said. I'll probably be able to get to that hopefully by next week. Actually I had roamed into that area before but rather than an iPad/iPhone differentiation I wanted to differentiate Android/iOS Config files. Then I saw it might be better to create two apps altogether.

@Webneeves - I have a new menu plugin coming out that will let you differentiate between Android and iOS for menu items. @mutzy - Stobe is on target here. You'll want to hack up the appDelegate file. You'll also need a place to store the alternative config file.

Is it still standard practice to have separate iPhone and iPad apps? Or is that tacky now and folks just expect universal? @webneeves - if you're self hosting - separate apps for different platforms is what I suggest. Single App concept is great but just not practical when you want to take advantage of one platforms functionality. look how difficult just to have different layouts/screens on the same platform....

@ATRAIN53 - Thanks, yes I did that just as I started to self host. And that was mainly because of the layout differences between iOS and Android. Of course now that I have different plugins for each it is really a necessity. But the urge to separate was really felt before self hosting... @Chris - Neat. will keep in mind while waiting for it.
