Could not Launch Corona Simulator - Fatal Error has Occurred

st.tosi · October 4, 2014, 11:32pm

New test here:

environment: OSx 10.9.5/Corona2393/Xcode6/iOS simulator iPhone5/iOS8.0(12A365)

I’ve run in the Corona simulatore the HelloWorld. Add a line print(“Hello World”). Built for Xcode simulator. Launched the iOS Simulator (Xcode6, using terminal xcrun simctl etc.)

Installed the HelloWorld.app

Runr the Console.app in iMac. All messages. Cleared the window.

Launched in the iOS simulator the HelloWorld app. It runs in the simulator.

Console output: none.

Attached please fine my main.lua and menu.lua: the scene (supposed to be) launched at the end of main. In the simulatore it is not. It is in the device

Rob: it is time here for me to sleep.

I am confident we could sort this out in some way.

I look forward to your reply on this.

I suspect this is your issue:

stage=display.getCurrentStage()
stage:insert( background )
stage:insert (infoLabel)
stage:insert(composer.stage)
stage:insert(HUDgears)

What is composer.stage when this executes? Since you have not created any scenes yet, this may not be a display group or object that you can insert at that point.

The way composer works, is that any display object not part of the scene sits on top of the scene. I’m not sure what infoLabel is, but why not simply create your HUDgears, don’t put it in the stage. Add your background and infoLabel as part of the scenes themselves?

Rob

st.tosi · October 4, 2014, 11:45pm

as I wish the infoLabel and HUDgears stay on top of everything later created in the scenes. Similar to a military HUD.

I will investigate on that. Thank you.

st.tosi · October 6, 2014, 8:28am

removed the line stage:insert(composer.stage) according to your comment.

In the iOS simulator behavior remains the same.

For the composer.stage comment: I did as per the documentation in the composer.stage API:

– Sort everything in the correct z-index order

local stage = display.getCurrentStage()
stage:insert( background )
stage:insert( composer.stage )
stage:insert( meter )

– Open the initial scene
composer.gotoScene( “scene1”, “fade”, 800 )

I am confused.

iOS Xcode6 simulator: I confirm I do not see any print(…) message in the console app. Print(…) statements exist in the main.lua and are correctly executed in the physical device. Done this test with the stage:insert(composer.stage) statement removed.

What I see in the Xcode iOS 8.0 simulator is the main screen only as if the last statement composer.gotoScene were not executed. All display objects shown come only from the main.lua: a background image (newImageRect) ; an ImageSheet (named HUDGears); a newText named infoLabel.

The app runs in the simulator as an event from the Game Center linked to the infoLabel does change the content shown on the screen.

The scene menu.lua, called as the last statement of main.lua, is simply not loaded.

iiOS Xcode6 simulator: run iPhone5/iOS 7.1 simulator (xcrun simctl etc.) instead of 8.0. Same results as above. Problem not iOS-version-depending.

How long to wait for a public Corona release with iOS simulator 6 properly running ? Maybe it is worth waiting for that ?

rob · October 7, 2014, 3:53am

We don’t have an ETA on a new public release. There are still too many outstanding issues like this Xcode bug (which isn’t a Corona thing but something we have to figure out)

Perry_Clarke · October 7, 2014, 10:34pm

To view the Xcode 6 iOS Simulator console click on the Debug menu and choose Open System Log…

b0b_k · October 15, 2014, 8:58am

Xcode 6.0.1

build number: 2393a

OS: OSX Mavericks 10.9.5

My application runs fine on all the simulators except (iphone 5s, iphone 6 and iphone 6-plus and ipad-Air).

the terminal is giving me “could not verify application”

what should I do ???

knowing that I added all launch images and icon sizes.

the user ingemar posted something about interface builder: you can check it here

Is this of any importance for them to run?

Any help is appreciated

Can you try and run the Hello World sample app on the simulators that are causing you problems?

Rob

toga · October 16, 2014, 6:07am

Hello World sample is also not running on the simulated iPhone 5s.

On the xCode iPhone 5 simulator it works without problems.

In some threads i often read that we have to build the application with the 7.1 SDK. How can i manage this? I have no build option in the corona simulator to change the iOS SDK.

b0b_k · October 16, 2014, 8:36am

Nop, it didn’t work with the given set of simulators (5s,6,6-plus and ipad-air)

I even tried following this thread as well : here and it didn’t work

Richard17 · October 16, 2014, 10:04pm

Hi, I am getting the same problem. Trying to run on xcode sim for iphone 6 and 6 plus so I can get some screen shots.

Splash screen appears ok, then app closes. Console Shows as below.

Note app runs fine on a real iPhone6+

The current public build is not designed to work with Xcode 6’s way of running the simulator. If you need this, you will either need to wait on the next public build (no ETA as we are still working on things) or upgrade to Pro or Enterprise to gain access to Daily builds.
