My game works perfectly fine in the Corona simulator. However, I uploaded my app to my iPhone. Everything works great, EXCEPT my sprite doesn’t play!! I need help guys! I have tried going to the console for my device and receive NO ERRORS! Any help or further instruction is appreciated! thanks! Code file that contains the sprite is below…
