Hi, When I build my app I always place all my .png files in a folder called PNG Most of these png's are copied into my stack and made invisible. I assign their Id numbers to buttons, backgrounds, etc. Some of the PNG's are icons and splash screens.

My question is. Does this PNG folder need to be copied to the IOS engine folder using the copy files tab in the standalone settings? I have done this in my last two apps that have been submitted and approved but wasn't sure if it was necessary.

Don't want to make the app any bigger than needed and clutter up the iCloud needlessly.

Also do you folks save your chicken scratch design plans and or feel the need to copy write your code for your IOS apps?

If you have imported your .png's into your stack whilst you were building it, then you don't need to copy them into the build through the copy files pane.... but I don't have a clue what a 'chicken scrtch design plan' is...

be well

Well when I design an app I hand draw out all the screens I intend to use, how they link up, how I will lay out the tables in my database, what components the button bar and the nav bar will have in it etc. Then I develop a list of tasks that need to be accomplished to finish the app.

I am thinking At that time it might be wise to mail a copy of the "chicken Scratch design" to myself certified letter and don't open it. Then perhaps do the same on completion of the app. That way if there is ever a dispute about who's app it really is. I will have some evidence to show that long before Mr. Cheezy BlowHard claimed that it was his idea, his code, and his App It was in my head, on my napkin, on my computer and it belongs to me.

I did go through the procedure of copywriting some code on a very large project long ago but haven't since. Was wondering what you out there in Internet land are doing.
