"applicationStart" doesn't work in Corona Simulator

I’ve tried every system event but “applicationStart” doesn’t seem to work in simulator. I’m now testing it on device. I’ll let you know in a few minutes. [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 301557[/import]

It’s actually working on my iPod Touch, so it’s a problem related to the simulator. [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 4407[/import]

Yeah I’ve noticed this. applicationSuspend also doesn’t work in the simulator but works fine on the device. [import]uid: 6678 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 4408[/import]

It worked for me, at least once. I’ll check again tomorrow. [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 4409[/import]

It seems to work to an extent, when I try it in the simulator I few things in my suspend handler work, but I bring up a pause screen, and that doesn’t work. But it works on the device. [import]uid: 6678 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 4410[/import]

Oh, okay. I printed “suspend” only, that’s the reason. [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 4411[/import]

Ansca? :slight_smile: [import]uid: 7022 topic_id: 1557 reply_id: 4492[/import]

We tracked down a bug that involves Default.png file. If the file is in the application directory, the Simulator doesn’t send an applicationStart event. If you change the file name to _Default.png, the event works.

From our testing it doesn’t affect any other system events.

This is a Simulator-only problem.
