Strange show stopper

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
1

Hi all and Corona Team,

Strange story have happened with me today.

I develop new title, and decided do build it for ios 9.1.  (iphone 6)

On android all working perfectly.

But on ios game became freezing in 2-3 minutes, and do crash after.

I long time tried to find crap in my code (thanks to corona team, I greatly improved my code :))

But bug was not fixed. 

I decided make new build from old working game. Builded succesfully, but … bug has appeared in that game.

Therefore I made new empty project with endless cycles creating and destroying random rotating (transitions) cubes, and launched this “shit” on iphone. 

And in 5 min … I have got the same freeze!

But I solved this problem by UNCHECKING MONETIZATION when I do build for iOS.

main.lua
 

display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar) local function start()     local a     local mr = math.random     function a()         local b = display.newImageRect( "nul.png", mr(30,100), mr(30,100) )         b.x, b.y = mr(100,500), mr(100,500)         transition.to( b, { time = 3000, rotation = 360, onComplete = function()             b:removeSelf(); b = nil; a()          end } )     end     a() end timer.performWithDelay( 100, start )

NO config.lua

NO build.settings

Which build of CoronaSDK are you using?

Which version of iOS is the iPhone 6 running (it’s not clear if you’re running an app built with 9.1 or that’s what’s on the iPhone)?

Is there anything in the iPhone’s console when the freeze occurs?

  1. Last 3 or 4 builds with this issue.

  2. iPhone 6 with iOS 9.1 

  3. There are nothing specific in console.

Hey! So your saying on android this isn’t happening? What about on the simulator? What i’m thinking you should do is put print statements in all your code and see if there’s a memory leak… The simulator has lots a ram so it could run something that on phone would crash… 

Good Luck!

2sonic:
All my code is printed above :). Just look into and find the possible leaks :)))))))
On simulator and android devices all work perfectly.

6

Try this… I have debugged this and this should work perfect… 

local function start() local mr = math.random function spawnFirst() local b = display.newImageRect( "bob.png", mr(30,100), mr(30,100) ) b.x = mr(0,320) b.y = mr(0,570) local function remove() display.remove(b) spawnFirst() end transition.to( b, { time = 1000, rotation = 360, onComplete = remove }) end spawnFirst() end timer.performWithDelay( 100, start, 1 )

Good Luck!

Sonic, are you joking? :slight_smile:

Thank for for programming lesson, but I know what I say.

(but still I have checked your greatly improved code, but issue still exists)

And Sonic, before the next great advice just visit http://www.xi-art.com and check a few games that I made last 2 years. I know LUA, don’t worry ;).

8

No i’m not joking haha.

I build the game an put it on my note 4(that i use for testing) ad let it run for well over 20 min and it works like a charm…

So I don’t know what the problem is here…

Maybe you need to update corona to the latest build?

2 Sonic: YOU DEFINITELY JOKE!

Is your “Note 4” new model of iOS device? Are we speaking about android devices?

Just do the following:

  1. RE-READ my post

2. RE-READ my messages 

3. RE-READ my post 

4. RE-READ my messages again

  1. Understand the problem

  2. Find the iOS device

  3. Make build for it

  4. Test

  5. … welcome back to continue our dispute :wink:

To all, I have wrote to FUSE support. I think it will better way to solve this issue. 

10

Ok give me 20 min… I’m going to go build it for my iPad… 

And please follow the forum #1 rule… “Be Polite”… I’m sorry if i’m not giving you the best and correct answer right away… I haven’t been to sleep for over 32 hours and that’s getting to me already… So please be patient or there might be a problem.

Thanks for understanding!

11

Ok so i was able to put on my iPad AIR 2 and test it for over 10 min and it works perfect… The iPad is on the latest IOS 9 firmware.

Sorry i wasn’t able to help.!

12

SonicX278

we speak about iOS 9.1, but thanks

13

Yes, My iPad is on IOS 9.1… Do you need a screen shot to prove it…?..

14

no, I do not need :slight_smile:

was monetisation checked?

do you have account on fuse?

15

Please keep this thread civil.
