How do I update my plugins?

baykalsarioglu · May 28, 2020, 8:36pm

I am getting error with PlayFab plugin;

Here’s my build.settings file, as you can see, on a scale from 1 to 10, is 1 basic
It’s a pity that this happened now, I was just about to pull the final build after 6 months of work

Any ideas?

I’m working on Windows 10 Home Edition and Solar2D version 2020.3595 (2020.5.21)

EDIT: Everything works like a charm in the simulator, it’s when it tries to build it that it crashes it.

Thank you!

troylyndon · May 29, 2020, 2:55am

@Scott_Harrison - the quote issue was not in my code; just occurred here in the forums. Your plugins are not working, period. See the attached screenshot to tell me if you see a problem. I can see from vlads post above that he found an issue with your plugins, too. This problem only occurs on iOS with your plugins; when commented out, the iOS build completes successfully. Now that this has gone on for more than a week, without being fixed, I have to ask, “How did you test it?”

@vlads - the change you made now, at least, does report an assertion error (see below), whereas in previous builds, there was no way to have any clue what was going on. Can you put the line number of the error in build.settings that caused the assertion error? This would make debugging for developers far easier, especially when the problem is a third-party plugin.

dislam · May 29, 2020, 2:56am

Sorry for interjecting… I’m having an issue today with the plugin ‘plugin.gpgs.v2’ and the legacy Google Game Center library (require(“plugin.gpgs.v2”)). It gives an error when I try to call a procedure from the library. I’ve been using 2020.3582 for several days, and only today it started failing. It was working 2 days ago. Do I need to update to build 3594?

My build.settings includes:

["plugin.gpgs.v2"] =        
{          
  publisherId="com.coronalabs",
  supportedPlatforms = {android=true}        
},

My actual code uses:

local gameNetwork = require("plugin.gpgs.v2")

But the following line of code generates an error:

gameNetwork.request( "login", { userInitiated=true, listener=gameNetworkLoginCallback } )

The error:

ERROR: Runtime error
/myGame/leaderboard.lua:71: attempt to call field 'request' (a nil value)

stack traceback:
/myGame/leaderboard.lua:71: in function 'gameNetworkSetup'
/myGame/leaderboard.lua:76: in function '?'
?: in function <?:189>

troylyndon · May 29, 2020, 3:03am

@dislam, your comment that it was working with 2020.3582 and just broke 2 days ago is curious. Can you try build 2020.3579? Be cautious with the new offline builds and test thoroughly before releasing anything with it. Biggest problem I’m seeing with the new builds is plugins; but your issue appears unrelated to the new post-corona Solar2D builds.

dislam · May 29, 2020, 3:09am

It started happening at the same time I got the Corona Editor syntax error (like an hour ago), which required me to uninstall and re-install the Corona Editor package. But the plugin issue still remains. I’m still using the old Corona builds. I’ll give 3579 a shot.

EDIT: This was the Corona Editor error, which is resolved - Sublime no longer recognizes Corona Lua

EDIT2: Still same issue with plugins in build 3579

Scott_Harrison · May 29, 2020, 4:00am

Look like your issue is related to http:// vs https://.
Please use only https://
I am honestly just throwing your build.settings into a random corona project.

Here is the exact project I used
pluginTest kit.zip (331.5 KB)

I am using 3582, which version are you using?

troylyndon · May 29, 2020, 4:25am

Hi Scott, all my posts have been about trying to get your plugins to work in the new offline builds 2020.3595+ (now at 3597). Now, all I’m getting is…
ERROR: Runtime error
assertion failed!
stack traceback:
[C]: in function ‘assert’
?: in function ‘?’
?: in function <?:110>
Program completed in 33.87 seconds (pid: 45084).

I just verified that the solar2dmarketplace url works with the online builds; but why do that when the simply line still works?
[“plugin.gamecenter”]={publisherId=“tech.scotth”},

We still need help with the latest versions that Vlad has been working on since May 1. And you haven’t tested your plugins with any of @vlads versions since then?

vlads · May 29, 2020, 4:32am

GBCDataCabinet Is not a Corona Labs plugin does I couldn’t add it automatically to the free directory. However I was in contact with author and he agreed to add it. Will do some time next week.

vlads · May 29, 2020, 4:33am

We know about the issue and we’re working on it.

Scott_Harrison · May 29, 2020, 4:58am

I figure out the issue, I tweaked my node server to be compatible with the newer versions of corona. This crashing issue should be fixed @developer0744 and @troylyndon. Thanks for the sample project @developer0744

dislam · May 29, 2020, 6:11pm

@vlads I’ve started using build 3583 and am still seeing the issue today with the GPGS V2 plugin not recognizing any of the legacy GPGS functions (under plugin.gpgs.v2). I mean it just started happening abruptly when it was fine a few days earlier with the build unchanged. Is it an issue with the server not including these libraries in the build?

(Using Mac OS Catalina)

EDIT: Also happening on Mac OS El Capitan on my other Mac using a 32-bit build, 3480. Possibly an issue with Corona Editor. If I ignore the error and build, the app launches fine. So only on the simulator this problem appears.

gabunker · May 29, 2020, 9:59pm

That’s awesome @vlads I’m very grateful, thanks for everything!

charliebetty · May 31, 2020, 8:23pm

Thanks for sharing this awesome information it is helping for me.

developer0744 · June 3, 2020, 12:55am

@Scott_Harrison and @vlads thank you both so much for working to correct those issues.

I can now build with Scott’s plugins.

@vlads, unfortunately there is something weird happening with the Appodeal beta plugin where it seems to be conflicting with other plugins. For example, combining plugin.facebook.v4a with plugin.appodeal.beta.FacebookAudience causes the build process to crash. I think other combinations are crashing as well. I’m looking more into it and will make a separate post.

vlads · June 3, 2020, 7:40am

Thanks. I’m working on updating appodeal plugin right now. It includes fb compatibility.

as you can see this is admob sample project, which works good on corona public 2018 build, I have admob plugin on my account from the store… any method to get it to work ?

tal_nahum · June 3, 2020, 8:46pm

can you help ? @vlads @Scott_Harrison

troylyndon · June 5, 2020, 6:38am

@tal_nahum,

get the build 3583 to support Xcode 11.5
the online version, which 3583 is, downloads all plugins, so you only need to properly activate a plugin and make sure build.settings includes them with proper parameters.

@vlads said that he’s working on an appodeal plugin update. What other plugins are you needing to use?

tal_nahum · June 5, 2020, 2:24pm

what do u mean xcode? im using to build android only not iPhone
I installed 3583… the app does build but it wont show admob ads… for now , admob is showing only for 2018 public build, how do I fix this ?
