iPad 3 - Multiline text help

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’m currently in the process of preparing my first complete Corona app for release on the iOS App Store (in fact, I have a binary waiting for review). However, after having just tested on an Android device and new iPad simulator, I found a disturbing issue with certain text objects turning into filled rectangles, essentially. It’s happening in particular with a multiline newRetinaText object (and appears to be an issue with how I’m implementing it specifically), but it really messes with the gameplay.

The binary was compiled with Daily Build 768. It’s not a problem on iPad 2, iPhone, etc.

What I’m hoping is that someone with an iPad 3 can do a quick test for me, or if you’ve seen anything like this, to confirm whether or not it’s actually happening on-device (since I don’t have one to try personally).

The actual test would only take a second to open up the game and take a glance. If you’ve got the new iPad and are up for helping me out please join my TestFlight team via http://bit.ly/rppL8U You can also email me at revaerie[at]gmail if you have any questions.

It’d be really, really appreciated! Basically just trying to figure out asap if I’m going to need to resubmit that binary.

Here’s a quick screenshot, if you’re interested to see what you might be installing xD

Thanks guys. [import]uid: 87138 topic_id: 23816 reply_id: 323816[/import]

@Revaerie, I just looked at my game using daily build 773, and some of the text objects look like solid rectangles on iPad Retina simulator. However, when I generated a device build and installed it on New iPad, the text objects look perfectly fine. So, I’m thinking, this might just be an issue with the simulator.

Edit: If you haven’t had anyone confirming this for you via TestFlight, let me know. [import]uid: 67217 topic_id: 23816 reply_id: 96014[/import]

Naomi, thanks so much for the info, that should more than suffice.

I ended up being able to fix the same issue with multiline text on my Android that I was also seeing in the new iPad simulator, so I just decided to resubmit to play it safe. I lose about 4 days in the review queue, but it’s for the best. [import]uid: 87138 topic_id: 23816 reply_id: 96065[/import]

Revaerie, glad to hear you were able to fix the issue. If the fix is a work-around (i.e., breaking the multiline object to multiple of single line objects), we probably should alert Ansca of the iPad Retina simulator issue…
