when the user starts up the app – the app is not auto-updating.
i know the manifest filename changed – could that be a problem.
I’m having a similar problem. As an example, when I change the links to “go to” another page and test it in the test centre the links are still pointing to the original pages instead of the new pages I linked to.
This is also happening when I send the app to my Iphone.

I have been assisting the dev team test a number of scenarios today. One fix that will be in an update planned for tomorrow solves a problem where Screen1 > Screen2. If Screen2 was modified the Run in Test Center (implicit export) was not picking up the Screen2 changes. Is this the problem you are experiencing?
I have asked the dev team to look into this with me. <rant>The iOS4 crappy appcache has been a big PIA for everyone – proves apple is human like the rest of us.</rant>
In your deployed webapp what is the name of the manifest referenced in the <head> element?
Is it the 1.2 format of <head manifest=”myapp.manfiest”> or is it the newer 1.3 format <head manifest=”cache.manifest”> ?After discussion with the dev team the change in cache name could cause a problem for non-appsync hosted webapps. If you are hosting from your own web server then either rename or delete the former 1.2 manifest file such that the installed 1.2 version of the app will not be able to download it. This will result in the webapp fetching the main html file and its new manifest file (cache.manifest).
Side note: the change to naming the manifest, cache.manifest, was part of our intense effort to find workarounds for the iOS appcache consistency issues that some of you have been struggling with. It seems that one class of problem was resolved with this silly name change but in the large the cache has serious problems on ios4 devices.
