Hey Guys, Im stumped here. Im doing a project for a client and he has sent me a template that has purchased and then somelse has modified (not the client). Ive done the changes needed to publish the file and works great on iOS (iphone 5s to be exact) now when this same GS file is made in to a APK, some of the sounds are missing (as in dont work) why would this be? Is it just that the Android build is unstable or could some of the files be in a format not read by Android? For your info, this has been tested on a nexus 7 and Samsung Galaxy S4 and the problem exists in Google play install and direct install. Thanks in advance.

    I have this problem with a few of my games. I have a suspicion that it is my device having the issues. Some sounds work and some don't. Then some sounds will only work at the beginning of the game. All work great on iOS. Seeing how amazon has tested these games and approved them and no users have complained, I think it may be a device issue.

    GS games don't work at all on my Android phone so i am thinking they may be buggy on my tablet too. It's a cheap phone and a run of the mill verizon tablet.

    Long story short, try testing on another device.

    @gingagaming I had this issue with one of my games. Sounds worked great on IOS but when I published it to Android one sound file didn't work to be specific it was a .caf file so I converted the file to .ogg then it worked a treat on Android. Check what sounds are not working then check the format then convert to .wav or .ogg and then give it another go ... ;-)

    @jesse75 @neoman Thanks for your input. As this file is already in the template, can it be extracted? its a mac file so its all built in and wont copy/paste or drag unlike an image? So how would I convert it? I need to extract the file from the GS file.

    Control click the file and then click "view package contents"
