How can I test on my device with the free version of corona sdk

You should still be able to make a debug build for a device, even if you are a free user. [import]uid: 208811 topic_id: 36273 reply_id: 144111[/import]

See I don’t get I tried to build a test project and one of the samples but it keeps saying I need a subscription. [import]uid: 168985 topic_id: 36273 reply_id: 144112[/import]

I was building apk’s with the free version up until a couple of weeks ago, never had a problem. I think the message you are seeing is the suggestion to subscribe, just press continue and it should let you build. Free version users have to wait a bit longer for the build, but you should definitely be able to do it. What build of Corona are you using? I was using build 971 [import]uid: 208811 topic_id: 36273 reply_id: 144114[/import]

Well I do have build 971, but I still cannot build for Android when the message appears stating “Buy it Now” then I click continue, and then the Simulator closes. wait does it matter how long the trial was used? [import]uid: 168985 topic_id: 36273 reply_id: 144116[/import]

I don’t know why it won’t build. I think the trial version is unlimited, unless they have changed this. You really want a Corona staff member answering these questions for you. [import]uid: 208811 topic_id: 36273 reply_id: 144118[/import]

Hi @taylorringo,
The Simulator should let you build without these issues. Can you give me more specifics about the system you’re using? Computer, OS (and version), etc. You should try to de-authorize the account and then re-authorize it (that’s under the Preferences of the Simulator). Please try these things and let me know what happens.

Thanks,

I have the latest build 2012.971, and I tried authorizing the simulator but nothing. I really don’t understand why that ie happening. I have a 32-bit Windows 8

Did you by chance install a Java 7 Runtime, or NOT install a Java 6 Runtime? Corona requires a JDK6 Runtime to build for Android devices using Windows, as explained in the guide I referenced.
