Simulator Crashes On Sample Apps

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi all,

I’ve just downloaded & installed the SDK, but when I fire up the simulator and try to run any sample app I get similar to the following in a dialogue box (noting this one is specifically from the GettingStarted->FrameAnimation1 sample). I have also attached a screenshot. I have had Corona running successfully on this machine before (over a year ago, maybe longer). I originally installed over the top of the old version, but have since removed all versions and reinstalled the new SDK but the problem is the same.

Corona Simulator Runtime error

File: error loading module ‘network’ from file '/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/network.dylib’

Error loading module ‘network’ from file ‘/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/Resources/network.dylib’:

I am getting the same error

Ok, I missed the bit on the download page that said I needed Lion at least (it’s in grey on a white background, and I am in my mid-forties…)

Thanks to inventanew3 for pointing it out to me.

Ah well - and I deleted my old one, too.

The Mac Simulator requires MacOSX 10.7 or above as noted on the Downloads page.  Due to an oversight it will appear to partially work on 10.6 but this is not intended (we’ll make it pop up the OS “minimum version” message in the future).

You are welcome to continue using a previous version of the Corona Simulator (see https://developer.coronalabs.com/downloads/archive ) though these do not support Starter builds.

Thanks for your reply, Perry.

So if I use the older simulator I must also revert to the older trial version of Corona’s SDK?

#6

Biting the bullet and updating to 10.8.

Wish me luck chaps, I’m going in …

#7

Upgraded and Corona SDK working perfectly.

Spiffing.
