making different version for android and iOS

My buzztouch app has subtle differences between the android and iOS version. Some plugins work with one format and not the other. Is it possible to make a mirror image of my buzztouch application, so i have a separate iOS and android version on which I can work in parallel? Thanks.

You can copy the screens but you will need to delete the incompatible plugins on either platform. There is a plugin called App Copier - but it will only work for self hosted. Ed

Since you're not a member, you don't have access to a lot of other tools that could make this happen. In this situation, I would suggest you purchase Chris1's 'Menu with Image Advanced'. It allows you to decide 'which' menu choice is available in Android, or iOS, or both. Good Stuff. https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=3DE38CB0E5550297BB18EA4 Cheers! -- Smug

Thanks. @Smug, can you say how will it help if I was a member? I can become one if it would help this issue. Thanks

Aside from the above tip, I was also planning on creating a 'shell' for myself for cloning an app that supports both Android and iOS. My current plan is to use Screen Data URLs so I can use the same lists in both applications and won't need to maintain two apps. Secondly, instead of using internal HTML, I'll make sure all files are external HTML, so again, one spot to maintain. Any pitfalls I missed or tips would be appreciated. I just don't want to spend ages duplicating effort.
