Strange Crash while Building

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I have an App (8bit Bird Lander) I am working on that runs great on my PC in the simulator. It runs great on my mac in the simulator. When I build it out to iOS (from my mac) Corona crashes as soon as my trial member queue time is up, while it is first starting to try and connect to the server.

Has anyone seen anything like this; or do you know what might cause this kind of shenanigans. I have tried everything I can to break the game while its in the simulator and I cant get any strangeness or errors.

This game and others have been building fine. I worked on this over the weekend and its broken now. I tried another app, which worked, so it’s not my network or anything.

from my terminal:
/Applications/CoronaSDK/Corona Terminal: line 9: 620 Bus error “$path/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Corona Simulator” $*
logout

from my problem report:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000044
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

I have no idea if it would help but there are some videos of the game at http://10firstgames.wordpress.com/category/bird-lander/

Thanks in advance!

maybe a file name that is mismatched

desktop - filenames are case insenstive

mobile - filenames are case senstivie
display.newImage(“foo.png”) will fail if the file name is Foo.png

but on desktop it works

This sort of thing can be tricky to debug but the first thing to try should be switching your build.settings file for one of ours from SampleCode and trying to build with that.

Can you try that and let know results, please? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22592 reply_id: 90099[/import]

Yea!

As soon as I opened up my build settings I saw the offending code.

orientation = {
default = “portrait”, “portraitUpsideDown”
supported = { “portrait”, }
},

Silly me. Thanks so much!

You rock
