I REALLY liked my app's usage map when I first starting using BT. However I have since "disconnected" my app because I didn't want users to be prompted to refresh every time I changed something in my control panel. I do that in part by removing the dataURL and reporttocloudURL sections from my config.txt file. Is there any possible way to keep the app from prompting to refresh, as it does not, but still report location data back to BT so I can use my usage map again??? That would really make my day. Thanks! Josh Title Comments I asked something like this awhile ago without much luck but BT has changed so much since then I figured it was time for another try.

Am I understanding your circumstances correctly?

But I was hoping there was a way to have it connected, so the usage map works, but NOT have users prompted to refresh their app. Asking for the best of both worlds, I know. Comments Yes.

It will be a connected app, but no-one will get prompts. That's the idea, anyways. :-) David Comments Keep it connected, then remove the code for the prompt.

mutzy Aspiring developer Posts: 841 Reg: Nov 03, 2010 Medford, MA 9,860	01/12/14 05:48 PM (10 years ago) Where exactly is the code for the prompt? The appdelegate file? I only want to remove what I need to (and then put it back when I'm testing on my own device.) Comments Where exactly is the code for the prompt? The appdelegate file?

Jake Chasan Veteran developer Posts: 1685 Reg: May 13, 2011 location unknow... 29,650	01/12/14 10:02 PM (10 years ago) @Mutzy: You could use the Live vs. Design mode to fix this problem, that way, until you publish, users will not be prompted to refresh. You could also just remove the code for the refresh button. Go to Xcode, and find the file named "BT_viewController.m." Find the section named "//tabbed apps only the first tab will show the refresh button.", then remove the following code: UIBarButtonItem theRefreshButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh target:appDelegate action:@selector(refreshAppData)]; [self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:theRefreshButtonItem]; Does this help?
