That's telling you that, umm, you're missing a plugin. If you're sort of new to this, be sure to check out the 'installation.pdf' document that comes with each download package. It will show you that you need to 'drag' the plugins directory onto your xcode project to import the plugins. Once that has been done, you should be ok. Let us know if you still have issues. Cheers! -- Smug

Well, I now get the confusion. When in the control panels dashboard, I go to "Download iOS or Android Project". If you click Use Buzztouch Core (because that's advised) there's NO installation.pdf included; if you click "Prepare IOS Project" it wil show correctly. So I dragged the pluginfolder and 4 other folders in Xcode but in IOS simulator there are no images/pages...

Hi @mobydick, No worries, you'll get this sorted in no time. Just checking you did the right thing: Open your Xcode project, stick that on the right of your screen. Open the project file with Finder, stick that on the left of your screen. In Finder highlight the following folders: - BT_Docs - BT_Images - BT_Plugins - BT_sound - BT_video Drag these to your project on Xcode, they should now appear inside it. Is that what you did? If it doesn't work, delete your project and start again (download new project from BT). Hope it helps. Farcat

Oh yeah? Hmmm… Quite possibly it's because I'm so used to things, some changes might fly by me without noticing… In any event, you're almost there, but there is a little more confusion to work through ;) The images and documents and things you uploaded to your BT Control panel are not going to be included in the project download. You will still need to add those to your project (in BT_Docs or BT_Images or whatever is the most appropriate for that kind of resource) manually, in the same manner as adding the plugin and other directories. I know it seems silly to upload an image and not have it included, but it's sort of there in order for them to be able to 'link' the resource to the screen in the simplest manner possible. You can also 'download' all of the resources in a handy zip file. Depending on how you arrange your HDD, this might be a quicker solution. It seems like a lot of this stuff isn't documented, but Chris is working his fingers off getting this stuff down. As soon as a draft is ready we'll all be swimming in it. For the time being, don't be shy; use the forums. We've all been there, and we're all happy to help. I see you've been working through the BTU videos, which is cool! There are also a lot of documents on various topics in the 'How To' section. And if you get up to 'youtube' and do a search on 'BuzzTouch', you'll get a lot of hits from various members who have created tutorial videos. If you're weirded out by going public, give me a pm and I'll see what I can do to help. I hardly know anything. But I can find almost everything I need to. Cheers! -- Smug

@Smug :"I hardly know anything", that's gotta be the understatement of the century :) @mobydick, here are the instructions that came with my last download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/svirz9e8lm1l0ez/instructions.pdf Hope it helps. Also check the set up of your app on BT, is your home page filled up with content? Farcat
