Application Validation Error / Incorrect splash screen

Solar2D Native builds
1

I’m updating an app for 64-bit compatibility and I’m getting a cryptic error:

Application Validation Error

Incorrect splash screen

continually pops up when i’m running on iOS 10 iPhone 7 with Corona Enterprise 3080, Xcode 8.3.3

I can’t find anything in the forums of anyone else having this issue.  Are there any leads I might track down?

The same issue happens when I start with the Sample Template App – I still get the Application Validation Error / Incorrect splash screen popup in the app.

I also re-authorized my computer to make Enterprise builds, and the same thing happens.

updating to Corona Enterprise 3086 solved my issue

4

I’m seeing this issue on build 3100, is it related to having an enterprise licence on my account? 

If so isn’t enterprise free now?

I’m not sure where this error is showing up. Perhaps a screen shot or a copy/paste of the text would be quite helpful.

Hi Rob,

Following a video. This happen at the new corona 3100 version.

I just trying to create a native app using the new corona. Only copy the android template to a folder and create another folder inside named ‘corona’ and copy my main.lua inside. I just added the following to the main.lua to test for native plugging:

local miPluging = require ("plugin.library") local \_nom1 = miPluging.show() -- Display some text local achievementText = display.newText{ text = \_nom1 .. "You saved the planet!\n\nTouch any of the buttons below to share your victory with your friends!", x = display.contentCenterX, y = 60, width = display.contentWidth - 20, height = 0, font = native.systemFont, fontSize = 18, align = "center" }

And at the Android Studio, run the project. After copy to my device, the following is what happen (attached a link to the video)

Only the Application Validation Error - Incorrect splash screen popup and anymore…

Note that I’m using Corona-3100

Hope this can help.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot for your excellent work.

Can you try and copy the entire App template instead of just the android folder? Also put your Corona code in the provided Corona folder.

Thanks

Dear Rob,

Thanks for your quick answer. But, I’m turning crazy with this.

Dear, I have copy all the App template to my desktop. After this, open with Android Studio the internal folder android. Then Run the project and install onto my Android device, and the same. 

–> Application Validation Error - Incorrect splash screen popup

Note I have fully copy the template and not modify any. In fact, I’m using the Corona code that comes with the template.

Please, take a look to the following images (Screen Captures) that show the tree.

Dear, I must use Android Studio to compile Native Android Apps, isn’t it?

I don’t see any build.gradle outside the internal ‘android’ folder at the ‘App’ folder. If I try to open the App folder with the Android Studio, it say to me that there is any build.gradle there, but it can detect the Android Framework inside the android folder, but I can’t Run if I open the external ‘App’ folder. Need to open the ‘android’ folder.

Can you confirm me that I’m doing well? I can’t see any fine guide to use Native. The Corona guide is not clear dear.

( https://docs.coronalabs.com/native/android/index.html )

Thanks so much again,

Actually almost all users don’t need to use Android Studio to build Corona apps. Our Corona Simulator works great for building Android apps. You only need to use native extensions if there is a feature that you need that we currently don’t have; if you want to build plugins; if you need off line builds, etc. 

What are you doing that you need to use native extensions for?

I’ll see if I can get an engineer to look into this, I’m not sure what’s causing the dialog to popup, it’s clearly building the app and showing the splash screen.

Thanks Rob I’m seeing the exact same results as CesarHernandez.

The template native app project included in the Corona SDK doesn’t work when built with Android Studio (as CesarHernandez has shown above). It shows the Corona splashcreen then the validation error popup, then the app crashes.

I need to add a native android SDK to my app which isn’t available as a Corona plugin, so it’d be great if this feature was working!

Cheers,

Jack

so do I。

Are any of you modifying the splash screen file that we ship with the project?  The splash screen has to remain unchanged from what we ship.

Are you doing iOS or Android builds?

Hi all, Hi Rob.

Thanks again for your support.

No dear. I haven’t modify any file.

I have been using the standard sdk to build android and iOS for about 2 years, and my apps have the Corona Splash (I feel so pleased to use it ;).

After the last present Corona has gave us (Corona Full Native Code), I’ve been very happy, because I need some plugging and native code that are not available at the plugging section. Also I’d love to develop some plugging for Corona to do them available at the plugging section. So, I decided to start with this new way. My surprise was when I show this advertising. I think it is a failure at the check if the Corona splash image has been changed by the user, for obvious protection reason I think.

I plan to buy the splash control, but now I have not bough it. Also I don’t know if I must quit and give the activation again for my Corona installation.

Dear, attached a link where you can take the exact code I have used in the last video. You can see it is the full project template without any modification. Hope this can help dear.

Thanks again all,

Dear Rob,

I think didn’t answer one of your questions.

I’m doing Android build with Android Studio.

I have not tested with Xcode. If I can I will try to test with Xcode.

Thanks so much Rob,

Dear Rob,

 

I’m doing Android build with Android Studio. I have built IOS with Xcode, it‘s no problem.

 

I didn’t  change splash screen.

Thanks so much

This should be enough information for now. I’ve alerted our engineering team to it.

It is tested and solved and works perfect now. Thanks for your excellent job.

Regards team !

Hi All,

What was the solution for this?  I see Cesar mentioned it is solved.  I’m getting this same ‘Application Validation Error - Incorrect Splash screen’ when I try to Run the /native/project template/app/android/ project sample.  I’m hoping to use in order to build plugins.

I’m doing an android build with Android studio 2.3.3, and using daily build 3117 (since I couldn’t get it to work with daily build 3100).

Please let me know what to do.

Thanks so much,

John

This was fixed in 2017.3105, so you should not be seeing this.  

Did you run the “Corona Setup Native.app” after updating to 3117?

If that doesn’t work, can you open a terminal program and change directory to the folder where your App folder is located and run:

ls -l App/android/plugin/src/main/res/drawable/

and copy/paste the results here?

Thanks

Rob

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the fast response. You’re right, I forgot to run that setup file (I ran it for my version 3100 but didn’t run it again when I upgraded to 3117). Sorry for the false alarm - my guess is that’s the issue. I haven’t been able to test again yet after running that setup file only because I’m having trouble getting the mac to recognize my android device, but I’m sure that’s a separate issue.  I’ll post once I get that working.

By the way, is PC support for Corona Native coming anytime soon or is that just far into the future?  I know it’s currently only available for Mac.

And Android 3rd party plugins are not yet supported in Corona Native, is that correct?  I saw your post that it was worked out for iOS in Corona 3103 but that we should stay-tuned for Android. Are they expecting an Android fix in the next month or so by any chance? Just trying to plan timing for my next project… I have a current  Android app I was hoping to add Corona Native features to, but the app is currently using several plugins such as External Storage, AdMob, etc, etc… so I’m out of luck till then?

Thank you again!!!
