Hi, I want to enable the auto refresh on an ios app. I replaced in the appdelegate.m the [modifiedAlert show] by [self downloadAppData] but it doesn't work. Othmane

Thomas (Annandale Apps) posted a workaround for this about a year ago, but I can't seem to find it. You might ask him directly. Cheers! -- Smug

@Smug What a year ago suffice? The last time I checked v3 works differently in regards to automatic refresh. I've compared the code from the other two working versions and I was too tired months ago to figure it out. :(

@Smug I checked the post of Thomas about auto refresh http://www.buzztouch.com/files/howtos/AutomaticRefresh.pdf but it's only for v1.5 et v2. Regards

But the concept applies regardless… the only difference is the name of the call has changed from 'downloadAppData' to 'refreshAppData'... Otherwise not that much has changed… the methods he describes are still in your xxx_appDelegate.m file, the same procedures apply. "If" you want your app to automatically refresh 'when needed' then continue to follow Thomas' tutorial… just use your eyes rather than the line numbers… or comment out that section and just put '[self refreshAppData];' where the other method used to be… that will *always* refresh it on startup. Cheers! -- Smug

Smug -- do ya ever sleep?! I know, I know ... Time zones and all ... Still !!!

Thank you Smug. It works now

Hi guys, The post was made a while ago. I'll try to update it soon. Thanks Smug

Does anyone know if using this for automatic updates, overrides the Design/Live mode? // [modifiedAlert show]; // next line enables auto-refresh of data url content [self refreshAppData]; I have an BT 3.0 IOS app live in the AppStore, and am 100% ;sure it was submitted in Live Mode. However, ever change I do, is reflected without hitting Publish!!! Others have noticed this, but I wonder if the [self refreshAppData] is overriding the Deisgn Mode - hit Publish before changes are seen by Live Mode instances? Any help would be appreciated.

Automatic refresh won't be contradicting with the Live/Design mode. I can guarantee that. It's because the auto refresh just is an alternative to the user prompt. But I agree Live/Design mode is dodgy. I must admit that when I did use it, it also didn't work. What I have to do is place the config.txt file on my server before I can start editing.

While snooping through my BT Self Hosted Database yesterday, I noticed my apps have two 'modes'... 'Debug' and "NULL". I suspect that the code to update this will be the issue for 'Live/Debug' mode. That being said, Thomas is right on the money. Don't change the way 'you' do things, because things don't stay broken forever, and eventually when it's all fixed and working, you'll want things done as designed. Cheers! -- Smug

I did see this just now from GoNorthWest (http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=C0C090AC5732456813B6C6A&fid=06DB0BCB08E3333&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=&currentPage=2) who said that you have to hit Publish at least once, before Live mode works... See his update from: 01/09/14 10:16 AM Very strange... Thanks for checking on the Automatic update setting, was hoping for an easy fix or explanation.

By refreshing the page, you are reposting. Nothing to worry about, but just beware for next time.

The old trick of putting your production config file onto another server will still work. Just be sure to point the link at that re-hosted config file. When you make enough significant updates for Production usage, then copy your BuzzTouch-hosted config file over to the production config file (onto that other server). -- Niraj
