  • I just bought a personal license last night. Everything has been going really well. Then I made a text box and placed it on the main character. Now when I upload to my website the screen goes black. Seriously? Found this issue back in July of 2015 and it's STILL not fixed? What gives...

  • Capx, URL or some directions would be really helpful.

    In my experience, this is caused when some file (like appmanifest.json or offline.appcache) fails to load or contains improper contents.

    I have exported as cordova and I can´t find the appmanifest.json or offline.appcache on my exported project on xdk. Where can I find this files?,

    The config.additions should be always empty, right?

  • These files in particular may only be on the HTML5 export, but black screens are caused by missing files. Do you have a debugger to see which files are not loading?

    I have opened the xdk debbuger by first time and I have found here 2 critical issues. But it looks to be normal, at least on my apps, because I have tried to debbuged another app that works fine and show shame results on console.

    These are the errors:

    Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: A call to lockOrientation() or unlockOrientation() canceled this call.

    Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The page needs to be fullscreen in order to call lockOrientation().

    I have checked the "full screen" on "build settings" on Xdk, so I don´t undertand why this error appear and I get no other clue about black screen.

  • Rasputin and Chroma72 I've had a lot of the same issues over the past 6 months. When I finally got everything working I wrote down everything I did in a tutorial format in my blog. Feel free to check it out if you think it might help

  • The full screen stuff is because all browsers require input (like mouse click or screen touch) to activate full screen mode, but you're right, that doesn't explain the black screen.
