What kind of phone are you using?
Those warnings shouldn’t stop it from installing, it just means you need to add icons (it would install with a blank icon IIRC). The text field thing means text fields don’t show in the simulator because you’re on a PC and wont affect the device build.

Thanks peach I am using an android lg optimus v but I thought that if I was able to install apps made with corona sdk from the marketplace then it wasn’t my phone [import]uid: 155674 topic_id: 27358 reply_id: 111167[/import]
@wren, from a google search that phone is a armv6 device, corona requires armv7 devices or later.
I presume the apps you installed and ran fine that were made with corona on the marketplace were probably built with a really old version of corona which had armv6 support [import]uid: 84637 topic_id: 27358 reply_id: 111180[/import]
Thanks danny if I were develope an app in the older built would I be able to built it in the new version? How different are the api [import]uid: 155674 topic_id: 27358 reply_id: 111183[/import]
Personally I wouldn’t. The user base with armv6 devices is decent enough but I read somewhere that studies have shown that the userbase with armv6 devices are unlikely to pay for apps.
The changes between the version (5xx) to 828 are huge and I personally don’t think it would be worth the hassle + the countless features and fixes that you would be missing out on.
We also cannot provide support for such a old version of the Corona SDK, so the disadvantages far outweigh the positives.
