Per Gabe:

I did not understand the purpose of the "d" instructions, which describe how to add a data-model. I did it and it worked...but I didn't understand why it was needed..

I’ll address these when I go through the tutorials for unification.

1. In the native script tutorial, main-page.xml has a typo:
   <!-- UI Decalration -->
2. When launching a new tutorial, the dialog says something like ‘be patient, this may take a while’. Not a great line, ‘up to x minutes’, etc be more mindful fo the users estimated time
3. The instructions in the android build dialog reference 2 finger tap/slide which is different from the new nativescript companion app instructions which is to open the notification center and scan
4. With the update to 1.4 on the platform, ios warns about a version conflict
5. because of this, i believe, the app hangs when ‘restarting’. Killing the app, and restarting shows the updates
6. Since the update to platform, Android just complains and doesnt do much
7. Nit-picky, but the source code for step d (building a photo album 4/8) is missing a trailing semicolon.
8. Section g of 8/8, the formatting is wrong in the instructions, code block doesnt start where intended, instead begins at what should be the close, also throwing off the next code snippet.
9. After adding the camera stuff, instructions say image captured should be at the top, but it appears at the bottom of the listview.
10. Layout demos on ios9, the buttons need to have some styling set in order to appreciate the layouts
11. In the project navigator, I should be able to rename MyPage.js to mypage.js, gives a ‘file with this name already exists’. app understands case, online editor should as well
12. Step 1 of the add services to your app demo, action h, button is blue, not green as instructions state

(this occurs a few more times)

1. Step 5, action g, code formatting messed up again

In step 4. Create an explicit step for substituting the username/password that comes after the code.

A Cordova workaround was placed in the quick start to workaround a Cordova bug. Now that AppBuilder officially supports Cordova 3.7, we should be able to upgrade the quick start app itself and remove the workaround.

Updates to the hybrid contacts Cordova plugin have created issues for that tutorial. This is a report from a customer:

Advance to a blank screen with the Contact Details and Back button header –> the reason appeared to be there is a filter defined within the getContactDetails function. Once I removed it, the details were listed. Is it fine to remove this filter?

Basically this user is referring the filter below which the tutorial has you add early on:

    var options = new ContactFindOptions();
    options.filter = "";           
    options.multiple = true;       
    var fields = ["*"];  
    navigator.contacts.find(fields, onContactSuccess, onError, options);

I can confirm this causes some strange issues on Android, but I haven’t been able to lock in on exactly what’s going on.

Similarly, it appears that photos no longer come back from the contacts plugin on iOS, or at least they don’t on my device (6S). Really we someone familiar with the contacts plugin to go through this tutorial in detail and resolve some of these outstanding issues.

The quick start tutorial should hide the splash screen using navigator.splashscreen.hide() at the end of the deviceready listener. Currently the splash screen times out on Android.

Hi TJ,

I think that the steps here https://github.com/Icenium/bond-content/blob/master/layout-and-navigation-nativescript/lesson-2.md#step-8-pages should start from 9 to 10.

Lesson 1, Step 3, action d is instructing to use dataSource.add(). It may be more convenient to use insert() so that the new item is added on top of the list.

From Hristo. Lots of people miss that View in listView should be capitalized.

Step 2 -> action.d is missing
