Android build only showing loading screen briefly

in Working with GS (Mac)

Anyone else having an issue with the loading screen on an Android device. My project starts to load showing the load screen for a second and then goes back to a black screen after which the game finishes loading?

It also rotates the screen in-between the brief showing of the screen and the load sequence.

Same project works fine on iOS btw.

Thanks,
Anthony

    I have that problem when using a startup ad in Android. I just disabled startup ads to have players a smooth gaming experience. I know that hurts monetization, but in the long run, if players get annoyed, I won't have any revenue at all. What GS version are you using?

    Latest release 0.11.1.11.

    This isn't a new bug, i've seen it in every app I make on Android. Some don't even use adverts so I doubt it's to do with that.

    Same issue here. I don't use any startup ads so I don't have a solution...

    Could be:

    1. You have selected the wrong orientation in you ad campaign.
    2. You have a scene that is on the wrong orientation in your project.

    I have had this problem with my last few projects. Is it because my project is iPad sized and I'm letting android overscan? I've tried every acceptable splash screen size and they all do the same thing. @BlackCloakGS‌ ?

    I have this problem too. I have no ads in game. All orientation is portrait in every scene. Still get that black screen. I have settings "stretch" to fit screen also.

    Same here guys. I made my game universal to fit all tablets and smartphones (set to overscan).

    On Android a HUGE loadscreen pops-up for a sec, then goes to black. I am using Chartboost boot-up ads.

    Really hope Gamesalad fixes this and add "Upside-down, Supported Orientations" for Android soon.
