system.deletePreference function Error

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Recently, I’ve been getting the following Error Message in the Simulator when first opening my app:

18:55:40.786  ERROR: system.deletePreference() function is not supported. Use the system.deletePreferences() function instead.

It is only coming up the first time I open the app in the Simulator and not when I reload by hitting CTRL+R.  I’m not calling this function manually.  The code I’ve been working on recently when I started noticing this is the native.showPopup() API.  Has anyone else seen this or know what I might be doing wrong?

You didn’t tell us the most important part.  What version of Corona?  What OS?

You posted this in the Android forums, but you’re asking about the simulator.  Seems like the wrong place.

And you grepped all the all the code in the app folder and sub-folders for ‘deletePreference’?

Thanks for the reply roaminggamer…

The version of Corona I’m using is 2017.3184 (2017.12.8).

I’m using Corona Simulator on Windows 10.

You’re right… I should have placed this in a different portion of the forum… sorry about that.  Is it possible for me to move it?

I apologize for my ignorance, but I don’t understand your question “And you grepped all the all the code in the app folder and sub-folders for ‘deletePreference’?”… What does grepped mean?

“grep” is a common Unix command line tool that means “General Regular Expression” which is Unix geek speak for “search”.  With grep you can specify complex search patterns while looking through multiple files.  In this case he’s imply asking have you thoroughly searched your code including any libraries tat you might be using.

As for the proper forum, I’ll move it.
