hi i built a new app with corona , my app works fine in simulator but when i install it on phone it crash on startup and exit can you help please
Hi @hotrodsaadd.
Welcome to our community forums.
You need to look at your device’s console log and see what’s going on. Depending on your setup the instructions will vary somewhat.
Are you on a Mac or Windows?
How are you installing your APK on your device?
You might also want to read: https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/basics/debugging/index.html
It also has a list of common issues that crop up when testing on a device as well has how to look at your console.log.

Hey rob im on windows i build the apk and move it to my phone using usb cable… when i install on run it it crash on startup
You will need to either install Android Studio or “Android Debug Bridge” or “ADB” tools. Once you have that, you can look at your device’s console log for errors.
This is all covered in the debug guide.
We can’t really help you until we can see the error messages.
Rob
Unfortunately that’s not very helpful. Messages are cut off. I don’t see any Corona generated messages. Why are you searching for “jetpack”?
Rob
because its my application what i need to search and screenshot??
Install ADB an run this command in a dos box with your phone connected via USB. It should be obvious what the problem is.
Also make sure you are using a debug key and you haven’t suppressed errors.
adb logcat Corona:v \*:shere is log for corona :
You have likely got am image file case error. This is usually the problem associated with this issue.
Ex: File name in code: bob.png versus actual spelling: Bob.png
Dang… looks like an issue with your use admob?
Q: Why does that look like a screenshot from your phone? You should be able to run ADB in a console on your computer to make it a lot more accessible and legible.
I think Rob and others will probably give better help here, but I am wondering what your build.settings file looks like as well as the code where you’re using admob.* calls.
Here is my build.settings :
settings = { android = { googlePlayGamesAppId = "962898591734", usesPermissions = { "android.permission.INTERNET", "android.permission.ACCESS\_NETWORK\_STATE", "com.android.vending.BILLING", "com.android.vending.CHECK\_LICENSE", }, }, orientation = { default = "landscape", supported = { "landscape", } }, plugins = { --key is the name passed to the Lua "require()" ["CoronaProvider.gameNetwork.google"] = { --required! publisherId = "com.coronalabs", }, ["plugin.google.play.services"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, ["CoronaProvider.ads.vungle"] = { publisherId = "com.vungle", }, ["plugin.google.iap.v3"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs", supportedPlatforms = { android=true } }, ["CoronaProvider.native.popup.social"] = { publisherId = "com.coronalabs" }, } }
and here is my edit.lua :

You’re missing the build.settings plugin for it and may be missing other parts. Click link to left (in this answer) for admob docs.
can you help me solve this please??
The only way I could do that is to get your code and look at it. I can’t do that for free sorry. I put aside a little of my time to help here and answer questions, but at the end of the day I’ve gotta pay (a bunch of) bills.
The best I can do free is to answer your question as I have and to give you hints and places to look in the docs.
Note: Since you’re using admob, it tells me you want to make money on your app/game. So, wanting to make money I’ll assume you’re willing to spend money. I am a professional and have a service just for situations just like this: https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/69420-hire-a-hitman-problem-solver-is-back/
This may not be useful to you now, but maybe in the future.
PS - Don’t be disappointed or give up. Others here may have more available time than I do.
We can if you use ADB (as I said above) and post the output
i can’t use adb , can i send you the code to look please
Why can’t you use ADB? You just need to download it, install it and run the command. It is a mandatory for app development and debugging really.
If you need more extensive help I suggest you take Ed up on his offer as I am far to busy to go debugging your project for free (or paid for that matter).
