I get this when I try to connect to my own app loader and load apps from it.
There is nothing in the apps list and in my apps its shows 'unknown' version for everything ?
I have tried clearing browser cache and cookies in case it is something to do with that.

You forgot to add a comma before the new data section in your apps.json, making it invalid JSON: https://github.com/hughbarney/BangleApps/commit/68c24811c5e1ed7957e3554700e1dd98a659e1db#diff-70e375511009c0cb767fdc64667e148359c6d6b7b8cf4f100b7eb0e853f83529R3103-R3104

Good spot, thanks for that. Kind of obvious now that I think about it.

Just to say that if you have Node.js installed, running npm test in the BangleApps folder will do a quick sanity check of your code, which would pick up issues like this (it's the same as the 'travis' tests that are run on each PR in GitHub)

I had the same problem. In order to make my part of apps.json correct, I had to change spacing after colons, despite a variety of spacings in the examples already present. What my mistake was, I don't know. But finally the upload went through.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
