One of the highlights we posted of our new app this year was that it would be an updating apprather than requiring new app download each year like the commercialized product we purchased the first time. The majority of our attendees are not the most tech savvy (even for our technology event, which is more a learning event for our industry), and so we’ve tried to keep things as simplistic as possible. Is there any way to point app users of our previous app to a new unified app if we do submit it as a new bundle? This might be the best solution but I don’t know of any way to accomplish this.

Should we just go ahead and create the new app and submit as a new bundle ID or would it be better to update our existing 1 app to the new unified event app?Īlso, since we only have 2 events, while their base functionality would be quite similar, is there any option for us to keep them separate a bit longer? I’m a solo developer working on several projects and this will add a lot of development time that we haven’t planned for far sooner than we were ready for. All the original functionality would be there (upgrading to Ionic 2 from Ionic 1 however) once within that events section.
I would need to completely overhaul the app as it exists, renaming, rebranding the icon and default load screen, etc. Now however, I’m looking at the recent policy changes and it appears like I might need to do this sooner.Īfter we had first used a commercial one time use app for the first year we hosted our technology focused event, we had built our own with the intent of updating it, making it easier for our prior attendees who’d only need to update their app. If you want to start a backup manually, without waiting for the next automatic backup, choose. Time Machine immediately begins making periodic backupsautomatically and without further action by you. Select the name of your disk, then click Use Disk. However this was pretty far down our roadmap. Or choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Time Machine. Now run: dd ifbackup bs1 skip24 python -c 'import zlib,sys (compress(()))' > backup.tar Now youll you have a backup.tar file you can untar like this: tar xvf backup.tar And see all the files stored by your application. Before expanding to additional events, we are looking into consolidating our event apps into a single app to load whichever event the attendee needs at the time… The file backup will appear in the directory where you ran adb. We are planning to expand to one other event this year. We started with an app for a single event that was technology focused. The next change would be to change the display name in the project settings, which will ensure that the apps name on the users device matches the apps name in the store. I work for a media company and we now host several events each year.
