Hi community,
I am working on a fork of pebble clock. I actually copied everything from there but in the main menu when I click on the entry it says "app source not found". I can`t find what I am doing wrong...
Any ideas?
The settings menu is there on app settings btw, so thats not it. It also has the wrong name entry there, but one problem at a time ;)

Thanks everyone

See the other thread you started. The shortname in apps.json needs to be the prefix for your files. So if you choose 'snakefish' as the id of the app all your app files would be called snakefish.app.js snakefish.img snakefish.json snakefish.settings.js etc.

Thanks! I didn´t find this naming convention in the tutorials. Will rename all my stuff now, let´s see!

Yes it's not obvious, but I made this mistake myself on one of my earlier apps, hence why I was able to spot the issue quite quickly.

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

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

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
