Crash on startup with 11.17 build.

Hey,

When I build with the latest public release, no problem. Our app starts fine. Building with daily build from 11.17 produces this error on iOS 9.1:

Nothing in xCode devices console.

setup() not defined? Huh?

Thanks!

Do you have an “execute()” call in your code?

Rob

We do, although nothing that I think is particularly guilty looking. Here’s a sublime search of “execute” in our code.

os.execute() seems like a possible culprit, but why would this cause a crash on the 11.17 build, but not another?

Thanks for your time!

In build 2770 there is this entry:

  • iOS, Windows Phone: return an error if os.execute() is called since it is unavailable. No casenum.

Its possible that your OS doesn’t support this. It appears that you’re trying to clear the terminal. Corona doesn’t use a terminal any more, it just has it’s own console, so this call isn’t really useful any more.

I’ve seen a few instances of people calling:

os.execute('clear')

in apps.

What is it supposed to do? (I know what “clear” does in a Terminal session, I’m curious what it does in an app)
