Black Screen on the Device(Ipad)

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi guyz,

I just started using corona for developing games on IOS really new to Lua as well as Corona, but i am moving on very enthusiastic phase and looking forward to make many games in future with CORONA sdk.

I faced a very unusual Problem which was black screen over the Ipad the halfway created game was working fine on the simulator on all Ios Devices but when i made the build and installed it to the Ipad all i can see is Black Screen.
Configuration of the game folder structure
The config file is using letter box 1024 * 768
build for landscape orientation

And i have two different folders for loading images just to keep me out of confusion root/images and root/game and com/ui.lua files and other class files

The images used in this game are .png all small letters and 32 bit
Images are extracted from .fla files CS3.

any more information you require please post back and i really look forward for your reply

I read few of your forums black screen issues

  1. Image name more than 8 char
  2. Case sensitive issue with IOS Devices
  3. png issue with 32 bit 16 bit export on windows

I am really confused with all of above which issue is it cant figure it out yet

if you are targettig android, there are some problems with subdirectories. also make sure the images do not have ICC color profiles embedded in them. They have to be 32bit PNG or JPEG. not any lower. Not grayscale, and u can have more than 8 characters :wink:

I am targeting towards IOS not android for now may be in future, But if there are problems using sub-directories considering Android than it may be possible with IOS too.

Although about images they are not ICC color profile embedded in them. and they are 32 bit PNG

With the above my assumption is towards sub-directories which is causing the Black Screen

can you please test it from your side even i’ll test it from side with different prospects

And glad to receive a reply from you carlos

Thanks and Regards

Hi carlos,

I tried removing sub-directories for the class files
and the game is running as accepted

Thanks and regards
