Couldn't Load Lua, Stopped Unexpectedly

Solar2D Android
#1

I just began testing my game on a real device (yay!), but, though it works perfectly on the AVD as well as the Corona Simulator, when I open it on the actual device, I get “Sorry! The application SampleApp (process com.foo.bar.SampleApp) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.” I opened ADB logcat and found that I’m getting this error:

Of course, the real process name isn’t foo.bar.SampleApp, but it’s the same error :slight_smile:

I’m using the newest version of Corona. Building a sample app from the sample code folder does the same thing. I directly followed every instruction on the guide page, but it’s still not working.

I’m on a (slightly older, but still working well) Huawei-U8652 running Android 2.3.5; it’s the only Android phone I have access to. The minimum Android version on the Corona build panel is 2.2, so I don’t think the Android version is the problem.

I’ve been building apps (sample and custom) for months and I’ve not gotten an error like this. I got a few where I just crushed the Lua memory and it crashed out, but not like the above.

Caleb, do you want to send me a build to test? It might have to do with the version of Android/Device you have. I have some less than bleeding edge devices (no offence) that are very finicky about what I can run on them.

Let me know if you want me to test it on my devices to give you a control group. I run the gamut from 2.3 to 4.4.2.

I guess I’ll just have to either get a new Android or buy an iOS developer license… It seems to me, if even the Corona sample code app won’t run, it must be a problem with my device. Thanks for the offer, but if you’ve been able to build apps and sample codes with it working, I don’t see that there’s any doubt about whether the problem is with Corona or with my device :D.

Not surprising, but a little disappointing :slight_smile:

Ok, now I’m for sure confused.

It (as well as the sample app) has stopped working on the emulator, with the same error.

Can I get a reply from the Corona staff?
