Is something wrong with my app?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hey all, just have a question. I have run and tested my app in the Corona simulator, and it runs fine. But when i try to run my app in Genymotion (I don’t have a phone with android), It says: “Unfortunately, Crash Field has stopped”. So I thought, hm maybe it just doesn’t work on Genymotion for some reason. So I sent my .apk (Which was signed for release) to my friend who installed it on his phone (HTC One mini). He said when he clicked the app after installation, the app loaded for a second and then just went back to home screen. I’ve searched online all over but I couldn’t find any ideas. Maybe some of you have ideas? Thanks :-) 

P.S. If you end up needing my source code and stuff for analyzation, just tell me and I’ll send it to you

You’re best off going through the debugging tutorial and evaluating the console logs from the device. I don’t know anything about Genymotion but one would have to assume they provide the ability to access the devices logcat.

Hey Alex, I just sent the game to a friend, and it works on her phone… Any ideas??

There isn’t a silver bullet when it comes to debugging programs. You will need to grab the logs from the device upon which your app does not work, using the tutorial I linked, and you should see errors there. The errors will point to lines in your code, which you can use to track down the cause of the problem.
