Nextbook issues / and why google map api

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I tried to deploy to my sons nextbook premium 7 which runs android. And not being successful at runtime I looked at logcat and saw that the error being generated was that it could not find the google map api. Some research indicated that the nextbook does not come with the google map api.

But why on earth would the corona build require it? I did not use any aspect of the google maps or even the gps for that matter.

So anyone know how to do a build that removes the google api references from the generated corona jvm code? Or is there some hidden switch to remove references? I am tempted to try to isolate it myself and try to repackage manually–but that is a long term clumsy process.

Any ideas? [import]uid: 108994 topic_id: 27241 reply_id: 327241[/import]

You must be using a very old version of the Corona SDK. The last release version of Corona, build 704, from last November does not require Google Maps. You can download that version here…

Thanks much!

I downloaded the latest SDK, compiled, and deployed to the nextbook without issue.
