Documentation for Corona Enterprise

I’ve been digging into Corona Enterprise this week, and I’m finding that the documentation & tutorials for Enterprise need a little updating. They were written several years ago, and some things have changed.  

The iOS tutorial still works, but I had some of the same problems I’ve seen other people have, where I got tons of errors and couldn’t figure out why. I eventually started over and got it to work. Then I realized what I did to cause it.

The current app project has a Deployment Target of iOS 6.0. Xcode complains with warnings to “Update to recommended settings” which sounds like what you should do. When you click it, it says, “Update iOS Deployment Target.  An iOS Deployment Target earlier than 8.0 is not supported by this version of Xcode. This will update the value for Project ‘Flashlight’ to ‘8.0’.”

My first time, I was like, sure, whatever. When I built it, however, I got tons of errors because the Deployment Target had changed. Because the tutorial was a few years old, I wasn’t 100% sure if *I* had done something wrong or if the tutorial was out of date. I just started over and tried it again without changing a thing, and it worked, although it still complains with those warnings every time I build.

Then, when I got to the Android version, it just seems like it’s really out-of-date because what i’m seeing doesn’t match up to the tutorial. I saw a later blog post saying that the project template had been updated for Android Studio, but I don’t think the tutorial was ever updated to reflect how to use it…  Some of the stuff I’ve found in the Documentation is a bit out of date now too. I just feel like maybe it would be good to have someone who knows how to do it go through and update the original tutorial and the docs. It would sure help me out at least. :slight_smile:

For example, I stumbled into this documentation on how to setup Android Studio for Corona Enterprise, but the directions seem to be how to convert an existing project to the Android Studio way:

https://docs.coronalabs.com/native/android/androidStudio/setup.html

Which seems to contradict the blog post here, where it says that Android Studio templates are now provided:

@Dave,
 
Hi.   I am sure that the Corona staff appreciate your feedback, AND I think it is awesome that you placed this info here where folks can fine it, but can I make one additional suggestion?
 
You can submit feedback about errors and issues per documentation page by clicking the button at the bottom of the page.  
 
I think this opens a docs ticket (or something similar) that will help get your inputs into the system faster and more directly.

PS - I use this feature regularly and suggest all readers do so also if they find a real bug or issue as Dave has.
