As many of you have noticed, we have not posted any documentation on using App Baker yet.We know this is less than ideal when trying out a new system and we apologise beforehand!
Pls read our other forum entry (http://support.appbaker.com/entries/235291-where-is-app-baker-player) on recent developments and the reasoning behind this early beta programme expansion. We trust that most of you will appreciate the early access rather than a delayed launch, until everything was in place.Those of you who prefer to test the complete system including samples and docs will have to wait a few more weeks, unfortunately.
In the meantime do let us know if and where you get stuck, this is valuable feedback too! We will do our best to answer your questions through this forum so that everyone benefits.
Please note that the areas that are accessible are mainly the registration screens and the builder/simulator "Build your App". Invitations are not of much value yet until the App Baker Player is released and submissions of Apps is currently disabled, so please try out the Builder and let us know how it goes.
Those of you who have been digging deep, you are right about XML. There is a lot of hidden power under XML screens and yes, that's what we used to build CY Cinema Guide (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cy-cinema-guide/id385454899?mt=8). Until we release full docs on how to use our XML screens to build dynamic screens, please use "folder screens" to prototype your App and we'll give you a hand in converting them to dynamic screens with content coming from your servers in a few weeks time.
All the best for now and keep the feedback flowing!
