Hello!
I have encountered a problem with my app. My friends are also having a similar issue with their apps.
In Corona simulator the app works perfectly, but once it is compiled into an apk and run on a phone, the app doesn’t work. To be more specific; certain objects aren’t shown, like the background. The timer also doesn’t work.
Here are some images of the app working in Corona:

Here is the config.lua:
[spoiler]
application = { content = { width = 360, height = 640, scale = "zoomStretch", fps = 60 } }
[/spoiler]
And finally, the build.settings:
[spoiler]
settings = { orientation = { default = "landscape", } }
[/spoiler]
How do I fix this? Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
