App Settings and Child Classes

I am in the process of refactoring some of my data fields to use a parent class for common code and child class inheriting from the parent to add additional functionality. All is going well but I cannot get the App Settings to work either in the Simulator or when side loading onto a device.

So I have the Base classes implement core functionality. The child classes extend from the base calling any base methods as necessary.

The App Settings dialogue seem to run as normal on Windows. But no changes made to the settings are fed through to the simulator.

Copying the updated settings file to the device has no effect either.

The code picks up the default values from the resource file but I can't get it to accept any updates.

Anyone else experienced issues around App Settings and

If you change the name of an qpp without changing the manifest ID, you can wind up with two prg files with the same ID but different names, and will therefore have two .set files with different names and things can get confused.

The code seems to be good in my opinion. From personal experience, I can’t really help you because usually I program different functions and don’t have prior knowledge with such classes. I’m pretty sure that there might be a bug. You could also opt for simpler alternatives, such as already made templates or pre-written code. For example, I wanted to create a site some time ago, and I got inspired from this website https://ooyoo.co.uk/, which had a very nice layout. Then, I just searched for a similar template and adjusted the content for my personal taste. I don’t know if this was very helpful, but here it goes.
