iPhone Build doesn't work (remains black)

Hi,

I just modified (new images, modified images, modified code etc.) my App and wanted to test it on my iPhone (iOS 4.3.3) but it doesn’t work.

The build works with Android and in the Windows and Mac SDK but if I build it for iOS it builds it correctly and I can install it on my device (even the icon does not have the gloss but it should according to my buildsettings file) but if I want to open the it seems to open it but the screen remains black.
I downloaded the most recent stable release of the SDK and I also removed the Application first from my device.
I’m a bit annoyed right now. There are always problems if I want to test it on a device (I also had problems with android earlier) and it worked in the simulator and I have to figure it out where the problem is… [import]uid: 68079 topic_id: 19645 reply_id: 319645[/import]

Well a couple of things:

Are you putting on your device using the XCode organizer? If so you can look at the console log and see if there are any error messages. You can also look to see if your app is crashing and possibly get a hint at the cause (not usually very helpful!)

Most likely something is causing the app to crash during load. And I would suspect your build.settings might be a possible place to look since it works on Android. There could be something inside the iphone plist area that would break the phone and not the other places. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 19645 reply_id: 75899[/import]

Thanks for reply.

Yesterday I didn’t have the nerves to debug the application. Today I had a look at the log and it was again (as I mentioned in another thread) a wrong capital. I didn’t think of this in the first place because I supposed that it wouldn’t work on android if there was such an error (as it normally doesn’t).

But still I don’t get the gloss. My buildsettings.lua:

settings = { iphone = { plist = { CFBundleIconFile = "Icon.png", CFBundleIconFiles = { "Icon.png" , "Icon@2x.png" , "Icon-72.png" , }, UIPrerenderedIcon = false, }, }, } [import]uid: 68079 topic_id: 19645 reply_id: 75965[/import]
