[Resolved]iPad build won't start on iPad

Hello there. I have what seems like a strange issue. On one of my apps whenever I deploy an iPad Only build to my device, that build will not start properly. It fades to a black screen for a fraction of a second and then quits. I do not see a splash screen or anything else particular to my app. If I create a universal version(iPad and iPhone) it actually opens up just fine and dandy with no issues. Everything works fine in both the Corona sim and the xCode Sim.

I’m not too sure what to look into on this. I do not receive any build errors or warnings from the build center. I am 100 percent sure I am choosing iPad as the target build and since the app works fine when I choose a universal target, I can assume that it is not a provisioning/cert issue.

Anyone have any ideas on what to look into? [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 26746 reply_id: 326746[/import]

This particular project was copy and pasted from a previous one since it shared a lot of the same code. Apparently the hidden .DS_Store file that was copied was causing problems. I deleted it and reran the project through the build system and everything worked fine.

Not sure if this is a common issue or just me being new to a Mac! [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 26746 reply_id: 108554[/import]

Thanks for updating with the issue/solution.

I don’t think this is common, I’ve not encountered it before - so all the better that you shared your fix :wink: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 26746 reply_id: 108627[/import]

@budershank - How did you ever figure that out? [import]uid: 104904 topic_id: 26746 reply_id: 109627[/import]

I was looking at what the xcode console thing printed out as I loaded up my app. It was making references to an older project. I checked my files and i wasn’t making those references. For the heck of it i opened up the .ds store thing in note pad and saw that it did have text referencing the old file paths(which still existed).

In any case, using the console thing in xcode with my device hooked up ended up being the key :slight_smile: [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 26746 reply_id: 109654[/import]
