To fix this you have three options:
### Host your own App Loader and upload from that
This is reasonably easy to set up, but it's more difficult to make changes and upload:
* Follow the steps here to set up your own App Loader: https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+App+Loader
* Make changes to that repository
* Refresh and upload your app from the app loader (you can have the IDE connected
at the same time so you can see any error messages)
### Upload the module to the Bangle's internal storage
This allows you to develop both the app and module very quickly, but the app is
uploaded in a slightly different way to what you'd get when you use the App Loader
or the method below:
* Load the module's source file in the Web IDE
* Click the down-arrow below the upload button, then `Storage`
* Click `New File`, type `your_module_name` as the name (with no `.js` extension), click `Ok`
* Now Click the `Upload` icon.
You can now upload the app direct from the IDE. You can even leave a second Web IDE window open
(one for the app, one for the module) to allow you to change the module.

as the module URL to pull in modules direct from the development app loader (which could be slightly newer than the ones on https://banglejs.com/apps)
