In the morning I upgraded Safari to the latest version: 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1)
Now I want to open Corona SDK and appears this alert:
Could not launch Corona Simulator
A fatal error has occurred
I was wondering if there is a relationship between the two events. It would then need an update to Corona SDK. I’m using version: 2014.2189
You really need to update to the latest public build or latest daily build. Apple has changed a boat load of things. Make sure to get 2393a or the latest daily build.
Now that’s probably not related to your error. Safari should not be involved in the Corona SDK startup process. How are you starting Corona SDK?
Rob
I did what you said. I installed the latest version and it works fine, except that every time you refresh the (Command-R) display or unless a change in the text editor, rotate the simulation framework and is quite annoying.
For now I went to Corona SDK preferences and uncheck the display device frame. I had never spent these things.
Is your app a Landscape app by any chance?
Rob
if, in fact many are developed to use landscape ipad and never happened. I send you a video. Spielberg filmed but not going to understand.
I think this only happens if your using
orientation =
{
default = “landscapeRight”,
supported = { “landscapeRight”, “landscapeLeft” }
},
try to change it to:
orientation =
{
default = “landscapeRight”,
supported = { “landscapeRight”, “landscapeLeft” }
},
I find difference between above and below.
This is the file build.setting:
– Supported values for orientation:
– portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight
settings = {
orientation =
{
default = “landscapeLeft”,
supported = { “landscapeRight”, “landscapeLeft” }
},
iphone = {
plist = {
UIStatusBarHidden = false,
UIPrerenderedIcon = true, – set to false for “shine” overlay
–UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true, – uncomment to quit app on suspend
--[[
– iOS app URL schemes:
CFBundleURLTypes =
{
{
CFBundleURLSchemes =
{
“fbXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”, – example scheme for facebook
“coronasdkapp”, – example second scheme
}
}
}
--]]
}
},
–[[
– Android permissions
androidPermissions = {
“android.permission.INTERNET”,
},
]]–
}
The version I downloaded and installed the Corona SDK with which version of OS X works ? I have Mac OS x 10.9.5
Oops. Make it default to landscapeRight not landscapeLeft.
It does not work, Rob.

Just try other applications that were completed months ago. Have the same effect: frame is rotated. These did not have this problem.
Here is a problem in the simulator or an update I have done and remember.
These days I installed iOS 8, Safari 7.1, iTunes 11.4 (18). You must be missing something. I would play it’s Corona SDK, but not sure.
The rotating simulator is annoying but it’s hardly an issue that keeps you from using the product. I’ll mention it to Engineering.

hey guys, I have a project that relies on an old build (2014.1262 graphics 1.0) and wasn’t able to open the simulator, the same error message “a fatal error has occured”. installing the latest daily build is not an option because it would take enormous amount of time to update the code to graphics 2.0. is there any solution to get the simulator working again?
edit: couple of months ago I had tried to use the graphics compatibility with newer versions but there was tons of bugs. this was the reason that I insisted using 1262 version with old project. today I have tried the compatibility mode again with the latest daily build and so far there is no bug whatsoever.
Rusty, I’ve been through something similar as far as graphics are concerned. Take all the time in the world, with patience and begins to convert your code to version 2.0 graphics. It is tedious, bugs will appear, but will make disappear. It is good to work with very old versions of Corona SDK. Involve other problems. There are a few articles about it to make the transition more bearable.
As new versions of Corona SDK are increasingly far from being able to upgrade they appear. Do it now. Cuesta. It costs a lot. You are about to renege hours. But you have to do. You can not be programmed with the old versions. They’ll bring trouble sooner or later and there are new features that do not take advantage.
A hug.
fferraro67 thanks for your suggestion
