Merry Christmas!......And a problem for you.

[Dex]

First.......MERRY CHRISTMAS and I hope you all have a great New Year too!

Now then... I have a slight problem....its a two fold thing.


I wrote a simple platform game....to learn F2.5, and it now works like I want it to. (Thanks to everyone who helped me with answers to my questions)
However when I go to build it (Android) it gives me the following error.... KCPICT.MFC Extension are not compatible.


However it does build it without any other errors... and if I build it to run on the PC its totally great, works perfectly.


The Android file looks ok to me.... when I put it on my phone it picks it up as an android app too. But when I install it, it then tells me that it cant install it because it looks like its corrupt.

The file is 79 meg in size, but im sure thats not the problem.

So is there any way to tell if the app is corrupt...or is that "corruption" due to the error I got?

I did try twice and it still said it could not install it....so...any ideas?

Thanks

hi can you be more precise, kcpica.mfx is compatible but I don't know which extension you mean above.

also can you post the line error that is show when you install your apk.

"hi can you be more precise, kcpica.mfx is compatible but I don't know which extension you mean above."

Sorry for the confusion.... here is exactly what it says: ctf25error.jpg

"also can you post the line error that is show when you install your apk."

Erm..there is no line error as such. Its the phone reporting the error.
It says:
App not installed.
The package appears to be corrupt

1. the object is a Windows only component. (when you look under the Data Elements and then Extensions, it tells you what the name is of that component)
2. Did you install Java and the SDK ?
3. Do you get errors at the end of the log? if so, what kind.

Ok... so then when its built for Android I take it that it does not affect the build.

2. Did you install Java and the SDK ?

Yes.

3. Do you get errors at the end of the log? if so, what kind.

?? What log? The game builds and thats all.... nothing pops-up and says anything about errors. If there is a log file made for each build, could you please tell me where it is stored and I will go look.

Thanks.

Correct it will not impact for android unless your doing something special then those events will not work for android.

If there are no errors during the build then everything should work.

Won't it ev r n let you install it? If you ignore the message?

[Dex]

No....you cannot ignore the message. It starts to install....and it works at it for 5 or 10 secs,then it gives the error.

I really dont know what could be wrong. I have installed test games before...like this one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yH2Vmdtmes and its fine.... but it just wont work with the new game.

[Perry]

Is it crashing because of the object that's not included? Since that's a Windows object only.
Like i said.. Any event that uses that object will be ignored for Android.

That could be a part of the crashing.
Otherwise post or pm the mfa.

"Is it crashing because of the object that's not included? Since that's a Windows object only."

Its not crashing....its not installing as it says "App not installed. The package appears to be corrupt"

"(when you look under the Data Elements and then Extensions, it tells you what the name is of that component)"

I did.....it says its "Picture".

So ok then.... I will change all the Pictures to something else and build it again. Just to be on the safe side and to rule it out.

Will post back here when I have done that.

Thanks for the help so far.

[Dex]

ok.... I took out the only picture in the game and replaced it with a backdrop. There are now NO errors at all. It builds just fine.

BUT..... yep.... It still says file "appears to be corrupt"

SO.....Im now at a loss. Cant think what else to do. Perry, I will PM the file to you and please test it yourself, let me know.

Thanks.
