Easiest way to find issue

  You could connect your device to your computer and use Android Monitor (logcat) to see debug logs from gideros app. Or use some crash reporting plugin like Firebase

  @hgy29 thanks. I was hoping to avoid having to use things like that

  Well using logcat is really easy, it comes preinstalled with every Android development kit. Just export your gideros project as an Android Studio project, open it with Android Studio and select Android Monitor tab, then just run your app and you'll see the logs.
  
  Having Gideros write a crash log somewhere on the phone flash is not as easy as it seems: either it requires asking access to external storage, which your users may dislike, or the crash file will have to be written in an app restricted area which cannot be read by easy means.

  @hgy29 okay no problem. I discovered it was another issue but of course I spent hours trying to find incorrect filenames first
  
  So I was also cursious.. would it be possible when exporting in Gideros Studio to have it export to a connected device and install the APK?

  It could be possible using adb I suppose.

  I think that being able to deploy to the device for testing would save an awful lot of messing about, especially near the end of development when you are changing lots of little things that can be device dependent

  @antix, you can compile once a player (by exporting an empty project) with the plugins you use and then install that player on the device. then sending the project to that player on your device (which is a click in gideros studio) should be equivalent to sending each time an apk.

  Nice idea, and as Anthony said, probably doable through invoking adb from Gideros.

  @hgy29 I hope we made you curious
  
  @keszegh okay I get that but you can't then install the app that way can you?

  @antix, surely what you propose is the optimal solution, i just told that there is a solution which is close to that. but it's good to hear that it can be done without too much work.
