iPad build seems to ignore config.lua

Getting Started Newbie Questions

I have just done a device build for the client, and what works fine on the simulator is not working on the iPad.

I have images and pages that are 1024x768, and everything show correctly in the simulator. Whne I buil for the device, I am seeing the bottom left portion of the images, and they appear to be scaled to double size.

I figured this was an issue with the config.lua, and any and all changes I make to the content width and height and scaling have seemingly no effect.

The real problem I am having is that the simulator is correct, and the device build isn’t and I do not have access to a device to test on.

Has anyone else run into this? [import]uid: 5317 topic_id: 29747 reply_id: 329747[/import]

@mike4, I’m wondering what Corona build you might be using, and on what device you’re seeing the problem (i.e., what type of device, iPhone 4 or iPad 2 or iPad Retina, and with what iOS version.) The problem you describe sounds similar to the problem we saw when iPad Retina came out. Building the app using old stable build 704 caused issues like what you describe on iPad 3. 704 was subsequently patched up and 704b was released to fix the issue.

If this isn’t the same problem, I have no idea why this is happening to you, but I thought I’d mention just in case.

Always make sure you access to a device during development, it saves so much hassle, if you can’t afford one then get the client to supply one.

I would not dream of building anything for a client without having the testing equipment, it looks unprofessional and is not good practice.

Having said that, I think Naomi is right you are building with a build that does not support the Retina display on the New iPad. [import]uid: 8697 topic_id: 29747 reply_id: 119384[/import]

Thanks All!

That was what I was about to verify, that the build I was using supported everything I needed. My build version is 704.

@cublah - My client offered to supply the device, but I told him to hold off until I had an idea of what the issue was. [import]uid: 5317 topic_id: 29747 reply_id: 119386[/import]

You need 704b at least, there is a more stable build 840, you should use that one [import]uid: 8697 topic_id: 29747 reply_id: 119387[/import]
