Description

NSB.cacheStatus returns the current cache status. When an app starts, it checks the server to see if a new version of the app is available. If there is, it is loaded. If not, the cached version of the app is used. NSB.cacheStatus contains the current state of this process. Once the cache process is complete, cacheStatus will be empty ("").

Possible values are:

cached All the files have been cached for the first time.
