App works fine on simulator, not on device!!

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

My app installs to my device, it opens, i can go through all the screens except 1, when i press it, it goes blank than exits the app… im guessing the problem must be here in the screen im trying to get to, do you guys find any errors?? i went on terminal and NO errors showed up!!

Double check all your filenames. The simulator is not case sensitive, but the device is. [import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 4836 reply_id: 15547[/import]

#3

yeah, i’ve done that so many times, the file names are identical. [import]uid: 10827 topic_id: 4836 reply_id: 15563[/import]

#4

Check that your lua modules aren’t using potentially reserved system words. Same with any subdirectories inside your build folder.

A folder named “Resources” caused build issues on Android for me - “Resource” worked ok. Maybe you can prefix LUA file and module names with a “_” eg _file = require( “_file” ). Then call _file.function().

EDIT: I’ve had quite a few of these name conflict issues so I can’t remember all of them (I should have written them down…) For some reason your variable tapSound keeps jumping out at me - I had an issue with something involving “tap”. It’s a shot in the dark but try changing the sound file and variable name for “tapSound”. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4836 reply_id: 15587[/import]

#5

Also check all your image or resource files for corruptions - this always happens for me when I accidentally save my photoshop file as photoshop format with png as the extension (easy to do when saving over an older file as photoshop defaults to psd format). The file is corrupt but still opens fine in preview and works fine in the simulator - until I build and try running it on the device. [import]uid: 3018 topic_id: 4836 reply_id: 15607[/import]
