Hi Mark,
No problem. Unfortunately figuring out how to use the new functionality is far from easy. I am still stuck on the Offline Queue functionality and cant quite figure out if I have done something wrong or if the new SDK's are just real buggy at the moment. Not quite sure where to ask.....maybe post a question in the ramp-up, or oss note, not to sure how it works.
I also decided to have a look at the Android side of the SDK's which I have previously worked on a fair amount with version 2.2.4. And to my surprise, it looks like they have totally rewritten almost everything. so much that if I had to migrate my app to SMP 3.0 SDK's it would most certainly not be a simple thing. One of the consequences of being an early adopter I guess. It doesn't really surprise me that most companies are delaying adopting this technology until such a time that it stabilizes and people can see that it has matured to an extent that it wont become deprecated a week after adopting it 
.
Despite my frustration with this, I do think its going in the right direction, however it still has a long way to go. For one, the "Offline Capabilities", although they're better than not having any, they still aren't a full blown solution for all offline scenarios as it is predominantly geared towards simple scenarios, which is fine in terms of a workflow app, but will not really be ideal for anything that requires more complex database capabilities.
In the mean time I'm going to continue to bang my head against my desk until I can get this to work.
Cheers,
Brad
