Hi, please read this post carefully if you already have developed a widget or you are just in the process of developing one.

We are not doing the right thing in our current release. We are supposed to hide controls that are bound to nodes that do not exist. Unfortunately, we documented (and implemented) it such that you just get an empty control. This is not proper xForms behavior and we must change it.

What you need to do is basically to add empty nodes for the controls you want to show up:

<instance>
<data>
<name/>
</data>
</instance>

Previously, you did not have to have the name node to get an empty control. Now you do and we like you to check your widget code if you have to implement these changes and add empty nodes.

Our next release is coming up in the next few days and it will require to have empty nodes for controls. If you already have submitted a widget, please change it and upload your server-side code again.

Let us know if you have any questions by posting them to the Mobile Developers Group.
