Hi, I have an app online, it has auto refresh for the config file. User after a few uses are getting this error: The configuration data for this application is invalid Does this mean that sometimes the all isn't able to communicate with my self hosted? Cheers Miguel

Hey Miguel, Has anything changed in the app since the last time the refresh worked? Sometimes if it has, that's the culprit. Since this is a live app, try going into your control panel, get the live version of your config file, and run it through JSONlint.com, just to make sure it checks out. Mark

Hey @MadRod, I'm not sure about the solution, but is the config file with "live" configured with the App? I'm just throwing it out there. LA

Do you have any custom plugins, or are you using manually entered json anywhere (such as via dataURL for a screen, or the JSON snippet keeper)?

Hi Miguel If the app cannot communicate to the host, it doesn't throw that error, it just runs with the last config.txt it has cached. The error you have suggests that it did manage to pull in a config.txt, but didn't like it. As everyone else before me said, very probably a json problem. Could be an invalid image name, an space where it shouldn't be or something like that? Alan

Hey, thanks guys. Nothing's changed, It's from my last app, children's stories. I run the config file text on the json validation, and it gets no errors. The app uses the loading a config file depending on the device settings, so I got 3 config files out there. All get no errors. No custom plugins and no manual json. The weird thing is that it sometimes loads ok, sometimes it doesnt. Just strange. Can I give any of you guys a ipad code to test it out on your end? Thanks Miguel

I have an iPhone, but not an iPad I'm afraid, otherwise happy to help. Cheers, Alan

thanks, but its a ipad only app :( Cheers. Miguel

I could test it @MadRod but is it for iOS 6? Is it using the localization? Could that be the issue?

it is using localization and it is for IOS 6. It could be, just strange. I have no trouble with it.

wish i could help. i can't upgrade to ios6 yet on my ipad. maybe i can try to reproduce it in the simulator.

Same here - I was all set to offer a test, but my iPad is 1st-gen.
