When I try to build an iPad/iPhone app, Corona throws an error and I have to force quit the application. I followed the dated instruction on building to iOS from the docs, but I feel they are missing something. Here is the error:

What error are you getting?
Those build.settings appear fine.
Are you using any non English characters in the name at all?
Peach :)
Hi Peach,
not hijacking the original poster because it is my doubt also but isn`t missing some commas after that brackets in the final of the code?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | UIAppFonts = { "feast.ttf" } } -- here one comma } <-- here one comma } |
Yes, well, kind of - it should have commas but these settings will still work fine. (Just built to confirm using these and switching out the font name with one I had on hand, all fine.)
Peach :)
@Peach, Thank you for the info! I appreciate that.
So, the problem of him would be the font name? :\
TY!
Cheers,
Rodrigo.
Hey Peach,
That large blot of text from the terminal is the only sort of error I get. After that pops up, the dialog box that connects to Corona just stays open. I left it on for about two hours yesterday until I figured out that something was wrong.
Can I use numbers in the name? And what is wrong with my font? Is it the name of the font or the type of font?
Nevermind its not the font, I completely removed the UIAppFonts table and I got the same output to the terminal.
Numbers in the name are fine and no, it isn't a font issue, so long as the font is in the file it's all good.
When was the last time you successfully built the project? (Or is this the first time?)
What "blot" are you getting in the terminal?
This is my first time building to iOS. I have always been able to build to Android.
Here is the "blot" from the terminal:

Have you been able to successfully build this particular app for Android? (With a modified build.settings file, obviously.)
Peach :)
Hey Peach,
Actually, I use the same build.settings file for my Android builds. I recently build to Android again this morning.
