How can I found what build (version) of Corona have I used to build an old app on Google Play?
I have check the logcat but I haven’t found any usefull information.
Thanks,
Daniel
If you use logcat, you should see something like the following line on app startup…
Copyright © 2009-2014 C o r o n a L a b s I n c .
Version: 3.0.0
Build: 2014.2511
Platform: GT-I9300 / x64 / 6.2 / Intel® HD Graphics 4000 / 4.0.0 - Build 10.18.10.3958 / 2014.2511
See the parts where I underlined and bolded the text. That’s the Corona build number. It appears in 2 places on app startup.
It’s formatted as: <Year>.<BuildNumber>
Thanks but that’s not what I see in logcat. See attached image.

Could those messages be higher up in your log file?
Anyway if you go to the Downloads page, there is a link that takes you to the public release archive. You can download 2076 or 2189 and see if one of them doesn’t show the version in the message Josh showed above.

There is no reference of Corona higher up. That is what I get in my log file when I start the application.
I think I will have to migrate to new version anyway. Thanks for helping.

Depending on what features your app is using, you may have to anyway. I’m assuming that since you posted a Windows screen shot, you’re only building for Android. If you were building for iOS you would have to use 2511, the latest public build (and in a couple of weeks, you will have to use yet a newer build) due to requirements for the iTunes app store.
While Android in general doesn’t force as many changes on us, but Google does for apps that use certain Google features. For instance, if you want to use AdMob ads, you have to use a version of Corona SDK that has a minimum supported Android build of 2.3.3. This forces you to use a later version of Corona SDK. It’s always best to try and keep apps you’re updating built with the latest version. Of course this can mean more work for older apps and more testing to make sure everything works. You of course have to balance this with how many downloads your older apps are getting.
