TextBox Text Not Showing Up In iOS

Other
#1

I think I might be going crazy!

So I have this professional app all built out and ready to go. Works perfectly on Android device, but I just tried deploying to an iPhone and it seems like the text in my main text box is not showing up. I’m using the code I used for Android. Can anybody see anything wrong with how I’m declaring this? To make it easier I replaced most of my arguments and variables with less application-specific stuff.

[lua] txtDailyReading = native.newTextBox(left, top, width, height)
txtDailyReading:setTextColor(0, 0, 0)
txtDailyReading.font = native.newFont( native.systemFont)
txtDailyReading.hasBackground = false
txtDailyReading.text = “blah blah blah”[/lua]

Looks like this old thread talks about it a bit, but there was never a solution: http://developer.coronalabs.com/forum/2010/08/31/newtextbox-not-showing-text

Any insight would be appreciated! [import]uid: 172008 topic_id: 32440 reply_id: 332440[/import]

Oi, actually it looks like the problem is my text has a character in it that iOS doesn’t support and Android is able to just ignore. The problem is not with the text box. Now to figure how to get rid of this pesky character (even though it should already be taken care of in my code!). Sorry for the irrelevant thread.
