Hi there,

But it crashes on iOS after i refresh my game scene.

i tried to debug with the Xcode console

and got

hi carlos,
sorry for double post and thanks for fast reply!

the report i did sent was from the console :slight_smile: thats all i got.

and /var/mobile/Library …

i can’t find it on my Mac i search with spotlight and in the
/var on the mac is no /mobile/Library
… is it maybe saved on my mobile (if so how could i reach it… its not jailbreaked)

feel a bit lost now and debugging by always uploading and testing on device is quit a longtime job :slight_smile:

hope you can help

greets and thx

what happens when you run in the xcode simulator?

.c [import]uid: 24 topic_id: 13507 reply_id: 49590[/import]

#5

wohh, now you got me :slight_smile:

i never did it run on the Xcode simulator… to be true, i don’t even know how to do!

I always copied that .app in my iTunes and synchronized with my devices.
than when the app was running i watched with Xcode console for the output
i got because i implemented in my .lua files

io.output():setvbuf(“no”)

…
the output from the Xcode console i posted into my first post here in the forum
now i found a way to copy that plist crash log from my phone to my mac (also by synchronizing)

result: a lot of undefined hex codes and that

I have run into this same error, any idea what was causing it? [import]uid: 18601 topic_id: 13507 reply_id: 72225[/import]

#19

CheapDevotion please don’t bump an old thread, especially not a thread in bug reports that isn’t actually a bug report at all :wink:

If you are crashing on device you should look at your code carefully, you can also do as Carlos describes above and check out the console in Xcode.
