2189 was fine , isnt now? what gives?

Hi,

I have been using Corona for nearly 2 years now , I was a Pro subscriber but now only basic.

Ok, my issue has happened twice this year.

I am only addressing the second as this is the latest.

I built an app with 2189 all was fine on all my android test devices.( this was about 4 weeks ago )

I stepped back from the project for a week or so.

I then rebuilt it with absolutly no changes whatsoever, and guess what, the app is unplayable, the lag is enormous. I even uninstalled Corona and rebuilt , the same story, unplayable.

So what gives ? Does Corona make changes/tweaks on a version that is stable ?

It must be so, Ihad the same issue 3 months ago, all my apps when rebuilt where taking 30 seconds to load !

I discovered this was due to using a third party library, BUT why ?

Corona must alter their code when in the latest stable release without saying anything ? Or is it an android issue ?

Any explanation would be most appreciated, I cant keep going on like this it gives me a lot of sleepless nights.

Thank you

I’m not aware of any changes; Corona generally doesn’t change builds and they certainly can’t change one you’ve installed.

I’d look closely at your code, date-stamps and try to troubleshoot the speed on your app’s end.

Build 2189 hasn’t changed. However plugins could change in between builds.  And of course any 3rd party service you might be using could impact your performance.

Are you using any plugins?

Hi Rob,

ok, so I would like to establish what happens and what can change during a build process.

for example:

No code changes take place during the 2 builds.

using build 2189 with the only plugin being storyboard a build is made.

A week later using the same build of 2189 another build is made but the resulting app when installed is 80% slower then previous.

So, change over to composer, still the same issue. This rules that plugin out.

Do you change the box 2d model ? and apply it to that build ? or does the original box 2d version remain stable with the 2189 build or that matter any build version ?

Something does change and it breaks things, not often but it has happenend to me before.

Any info would be much appreciated it is so un nerving not knowing if when an app is updated it is going to throw something up.

Do you have access to the build process when 2189 was released ? If so are you able to build with “the original 2189 release process”?

thanks
