Live Build Issue

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion

Hi,

I have a weird problem with live builds.  I have an app that is published on the play store which I am trying to do an update on.  The update is all working perfectly on the simulator, but if I push a live build to my android device all I get is a black screen (no updating dialog or anything).  If I push it as a normal build (not live) then it works OK.

After playing around I have discovered that if I change the package name to something else it works perfectly.  So for some reason, I cannot use that package name with live builds on that app.

Things I have tried;

  1. Downloading again from the play store and uninstalling it again.
  2. Using the same package name with another app - this works OK.
  3. Deleting the .CoronaLiveBuild file - still an issue.
  4. Making a copy of this app and building that - worked until I changed the package name.

I am guessing that there somewhere the package name is associated with the play store and  is conflicting with the live build?  Complete guess…

Any help would be appreciated.

I seem to have got it working :slight_smile:

In case anyone else runs into the issue.

  1. Installed the app as normal (not live build) and cleared all the data from the apwithinin system settings.

  2. Uninstalled the app

  3. Installed using livebuilds

  4. It worked.

Simple fix, but it worked.  Interestingly I had tried clearing data withing the live build and that didnt help.
