how long does it take for a App update to appear in the Bangle.js App Loader?

Yesterday, a new version of my App (AC-AC) was merged into the master branch of espruino/BangleApps.

But now, more than 16 hours ago, it is still the old version which is available through the Bangle.js App Loader.

And, yes
- I checked that metadata.json contains the new version number and that the new file was committed
- I definitely reloaded the App Loader web page (using Chrome with the Developer Tools Window open)
How long will I have to wait for the update?

[Edit] I just found one potential problem: the ChangeLog file had a .txt suffix - may that be the reason for not being shown? Anyway I just updated the file name and started a new pull request

There are basically two "official" apps loaders:
1. the release version at https://banglejs.com/apps
2. the development version at https://espruino.github.io
The first one needs manual update from Gordon while the second one gets changes automatically by github.
So your changes should be visible on the development loader a few minutes after the merge.

That is good to know, but...

...your first link does not point to any kind of app loader!

The second link should be:

https://espruino.github.io/BangleApps/

Indeed, the development version already offers the new version of my App

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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:

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
