Run flawlessly in emulator but apk instantly crashes

koeosstudio

Good day guys!

I am building a simple word game. I tested in emulator, runs flawlessly. Compiled to apk, no error. But opening the apk will instantly crash the app. I don't have a hint on what causing the issue. I will attach my project for your review.
Thanks!

Wild guess: either a case mismatch in file names, or a missing plug-in…

As hgy29 mentionned: it is a case mismatch

You can debug your apk in Android Studio via usb.
Android Studio debug log:

Your lua code:
local wordDisplayFont = TTFont.new('fonts/jetBrainsMono.ttf', 100, true, 1)

You forgot the uppercase, it should be JetBrainsMono. I tested and it works on my android 10.

Tip: what I usually do is right click the asset and choose "Insert into Document", I think you can do this too in VSCode.

PS: I like your app
