Need help with windows to mac transition

#1

OK, i need a little help with getting my app to work on a mac and later ios.

When i completed the first level and a simple menu screen with background images and everything (.png files)

So as i borrowed a friends mac and downloaded x-code for it and started up corona and opened my project and about 1/2 of the images just showed up as either blank or an outline. On top of that my custom text was not working (.ttf ) and just showed up as the regular text.

Any suggestions?

For the images… did you use pngcrush or similar software on them ?

The ttf issue is that you need to double click on the .ttf file to install it on the mac. It won’t show until it’s installed.

Thanks for the suggestion with the .ttf files, i’ll try that as soon as i can.

With the .png files i’m just using paint.NET

Thanks for the help

Ok so i got a hold of the mac and a looked at all the images, a couple of them for some reason had some weird extra outlines so i just deleted those, fixing that problem.

My background image wasn’t showing up, but i could click the .png file and it was there so i just edited a little box in a non-showing corner and for some reason editing it caused it to work again somehow…

And the text file before i downloaded it onto the mac i did a test build for the xcode sim. and everything worked even the non downloaded text, but the text didn’t work in the corona sim. but downloading it fixes the problem

Thanks for the help.
