Textfiled not visible

Hey,

I am trying to implement a textfiled:

local savename = native.newTextField( 0, 0, 200, 48 )       sceneGroup:insert (savename)       savename.x = centerX       savename.y = centerY              savename.inputType = "default"       local hintText = "Type save name"       savename.text = hintText       savename.font = native.newFont( "Helvetica-Bold", 16 )       savename:setTextColor( 0, 0, .8 )       savename.hasBackground = true

 But it doesn’t get rendered properly in the simulatorthe textfiled is completely invisible including frame and ‘hintText’, but if I hover over where it’s supposed to be the cursor turn to input although I can’t see anything I’m typing, Any idea why?

Thanks!!!

Ok, I read around and  realize it’s a compatibility problem with Yosemite. Though I also see there are current problems with simulating on xcode thorugh corona (it also crashes sublime text 2 when I build for xcode and try to copy the error the debugger returns).

So being a noob at this I can’t go on ‘blind developing’, is there any alternative way to see my project, which includes native objects, being simulated in some ways, or should I just give up until this issues got fixed? If so any forecast on how long to wait?

Thanks!!!

Please download the latest version of Corona SDK (build 2014.2511) that we released last week.  This will address the Yosemite problem.

Sorry, I only last checked for updates a couple days before the release… my bad.

Seems to work now though.

Thanks Rob!
