Hi gang. The download server has been updated with an updated version of the BT Core for iOS. This means that if you download a project from your control panel today you'll get a slightly different version than you would have yesterday. The changes are NOT significant. The changes were implemented to prevent compiler warnings and errors when running the latest version of Xcode and the iOS SDK for iOS 8. It's been a few months since this stuff came out and everyone should be updated by now :-) Some notes about the changes. THESE ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT CHANGED IN THIS BUILD. ##### BT_viewController.h --Added several method signatures for methods in the .m file that existed by did not have a signature in the .h file. --Added the NSFileManagerDelegate reference with the other existing delegate methods. This addition prevents the compiler from showing an "incompatible type" warning. ##### BT_loadConfigDataViewController.m --Changed the way the device asks to register for Push Notifications. iOS 8 handles this differently than previous iOS releases. ##### BT_viewControler.m --Added three new methods. fadeOutOnExit, fadeInOnEntry, viewWillDisappear. The fadeOutOnExit is called in the viewWillAppear method after the call to the configureBackground method. The fadeInOnEntry method is called in the viewWillDisappear method. These methods improve the "flow" between screens and prevent a jittery effect when running on a device with iOS8. ##### Project Settings: --Removed the "test target" to prevent the compiler from searching for an unused .plist file that does not exist in the project. --Changed Build Active Architecture Only option to "No" for Debug and Release. This slows the compilation process slightly but prevents app owners from having to adjust / understand the option. Some work has been done an LOTS of other things, including taking advantage of the new 64 bit architecture on the newest devices. Supporting 64 bit (and the older 32 bit) in the same project is not an easy task. For most BT'ers the necessary changes are way beyond their level of understanding. We're unsure how we're going to move forward on the 64 bit vs 32 bit in-one-project concept. My guess is that we'll have to bite the bullet, get the Core updated, then ask all the plugin devs to "verify" their packages are error free when compiling for "old" and "new" devices in the same project. ALL projects uploaded to the App Store will require 64bit support starting in Februrary. Just sayin' Cheers... D.

thanks

Cool beans! Thanks

Thanks. Appreciate the update Dave

Thanks David!

Change log accepted :-) Thanks! -- Niraj

Sweet! That should reduce forum posts by a few! Mark

Thank you David for the update. Mike

Thanks for the heads up.

Terrific, thank you.

I have been having trouble with Xcode errors I can upload onto a device but cannot validate my app Buzztouch isn't working right I don't think Info.plist seems not right

Gratzie, David! Cheers! -- Smug

Thank you!!

Thanks David ! To confirm, after downloading a new project. I only need to replace the four new files in an existing BT3 project. (The reason I ask is that I have edits in the Core.) Really appreciate the update now, rather than hitting a wall in Feb. Looking forward to adding Sunday when back in town.

Thanks much, David. It was very nice to see my newest app in progress load in XCode6 without any errors.

You're the best :-)

for the beginners in the room, <-<- lol do i need to do anything on my self serve or is this just for here :) thanks Sean (ps) i know ive been here while, but im a very slow learner :)

I asked myself the same question. I re-downloaded a project that I'm working on and self hosted seems to have updated without me having to do anything. Dave

Question for David / BT Core team: Back in April Chris1 posted a fix for the Live/Design mode issue: https://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=D46AEFA297E85F94982FCB9&command=isSearching&currentPage=1&topicTitle=design%20mode&createdBy=&repliedBy=&minViews=-1&maxViews=-1&minReplies=-1&maxReplies=-1&forumCategory= Is there a reason why this fix or a different solution has not been integrated in the new BT_loadConfigDataViewController.m ? Thanks for all the support.

Thanx, David. @NCbuzz has a valid question, seeing that if you submitted without changing to "Live" mode you are slightly busted and need to re-submit. Weidies

Thanks David and the BT family for all the hard work you been doing behind the scenes :-) Much appreciated

Thank you! Very smooth screen transitions. Very nice Adam
