Hi there,
I see there are some previous discussions about this problem, but I can’t find a solution, please help me and thank you.

You’ll need to uninstall Solar2D and install the previous version (3706):

Hey colinmorgan,
Thank you so much!
This version(3706) works just fine.
May I ask why ver.3707 doesen’t work?

I’m not 100% sure.

From what I gather, Vlad made a change to something pertaining to iOS that shouldn’t have affected anything to do with Android, but it appears there were unintended consequences. I can only assume that the reason he hasn’t pushed out a fix is that he’s in the middle of doing the API update for Android builds and will roll out both simultaneously. (Hopefully soon! :smiley:)

The latest Build 3708 is ALSO resulting in Build Error 256.

The first version of build 3708 had a bug and was replaced about an hour after it was posted with a fixed version. Do you have the “new” version of 3708?

I did a successful build using 3708 a bit earlier.
