Happy new Year to everyone!!  :slight_smile:

Lately I am getting this in MAC Console, but my game works well (game flow is not stopped).

Is this Corona issue or… ?

No filename is given here… weird.

Is it happening with the welcome screen or with your app?

It happens before game begins, so it happens before main.lua is called (I assume).

After that game console Corona Simulator log is clear (no runtime errors logged).

I am using Appodeal (that is new, because I have not seen this ever before - I am using Corona for almost 2 years now).

You can put some print statements in main.lua after every few lines of code to try and narrow down where it’s coming from.

I will try that… error is not present on every launch…

Hello Ivan,

I also can see this error on my mac simulator console.
I was using Corona SDK Build: 2016.2961 and 
I found that this error comes up after every 50-60 seconds when i am on "corona simulator Home screen"
So i think this error is not related to your project.

When i try other Build : 2016.3009 , i can’t see any error there…

I hope this helps :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Hi Bhavin,

Thanks!
Error is not present on the real devices.

I think it is something related to the Corona Simulator, and not actual apk.

I hope it will not crash any game.

This is an issue with the news feed that is displayed in the Welcome window and, while annoying, wont affect your own projects.  It’s fixed in Daily Build 3006 or later.
