I haven’t heard of Android apps starting in anything but full screen. In fact, I haven’t even heard of “automatic mode”. Could you post a screenshot of what is happening?
I’m not really sure what might be going on. Maybe someone else does.
I’ve never used that android.max_aspect myself, but maybe that has something to do with your issue. Have you tried without it? Corona’s dynamic scaling should automatically scale your app to fill the screen of any device (depending on your config.lua, of course).
I managed to make the black bar disappear above by inserting:
display.setStatusBar(display.DefaultStatusBar)
Unfortunately this, however, resizes the whole app and I can’t find a calculation that fits all types of screens. No one can help me? I don’t want to leave the black bar on a samsung s10 above :mellow:
