Continue development on corona version 2011.704

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi,
I am working on upgrades for app that i made in the past using corona version 2011.704
Since then i updated xcode to the latest version and now i get this error:

The iOS SDK located at /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer is missing the following component(s):
pbxcp
copypng
Please (re)install the iOS SDK.

Can i continue developing with version 2011.704? I don’t want to use later corona version as they cut support for many devices (armv6)

This is really urgent

You really need to update - you need the newer Xcode and Corona to support the iPhone 5 and iOS 6. Apple wont accept an app that doesn’t support iOS6 and they stopped supporting lower end devices themselves not so long ago. (There’s a thread on it regarding dropping support for <ios4.3. topic_id:="" reply_id:=""></ios4.3.>

Peach, with my current version of corona i cannot update an already existing app in the app store?
If i update corona, it will also make me drop support of very popular android devices such as galaxy s [import]uid: 134964 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132475[/import]

You would be rejected when Apple saw you didn’t support iOS6, I believe. I’d try building and running on an iOS6 device but I doubt it.

You could keep a second version of Corona around to build for Android, I suppose? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132478[/import]

I tried running my code that has button widgets and has
button.view.x=100
for example

and in the newest corona version it fails and i need to remove the view part.

Would i be able to keep the same code that will run on both versions? [import]uid: 134964 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132480[/import]

There have been some changes between those builds you would need to account for, yes. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132484[/import]

#8

Actually the button widgets are not working now that i moved to Version 2012.971 on an android device (samsung galaxy tab)

They do work in the simulator…

Any idea what might be the cause of that? [import]uid: 134964 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132486[/import]

If you are finding problems building for Android on Windows with build 971, try again. We found a problem that caused Window builds to use the code from build 894 instead of the 971. It should be fixed now (on our servers). There was no problem when building Android on Mac. [import]uid: 7559 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132541[/import]

Peach, i asked:
“Would i be able to keep the same code that will run on both versions?”
And you didn’t really answer my question… [import]uid: 134964 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132547[/import]

#11

Did anything change with the button widgets or with the storyboard (scene) api between these versions?
Again, on android code of a button that changed a scene is not working suddenly on the new version.

I am building on mac [import]uid: 134964 topic_id: 33354 reply_id: 132548[/import]

Update, it doesn’t work on ios simulator too…

So it only works in the corona simulator.
Please assist me asap
