I’m on iPadOS18 , m4 12” and version 490
It does say unable to get receipt in the info panel but my editor and play project work as expected
@sim i updated to iPadOS18.0…now the editor no longer freezes. Also the cursor insertion issue is solved. It was present initially but after inserting a blank line at the top of the program it is now ok! Still have the ‘unable to get receipt’ message.
Edit: i spoke too soon. Inserting a blank line seems to fix the cursor issue, but once i try to delete a character the editor freezes. Sent some crash reports.
Edit2: i have the suspicion that the problems i see are for files stored in icloud. The local files seems to be ok. It seems there is not an option to copy a file from the iCloud to the local Codea area or vice versa-i guess i can use the files app.
Edit3: copied a problematic file from iCloud to the local Codea folder-it now works fine. So definitely my problems were related to iCloud files.
Long press on the project and choose “Move to Device” (or “Move to iCloud” to move it in the other direction)
@sim ok thanks i didn’t notice that.
@sim ignore everything i said previously, even with local files it crashes all the time! I don’t know what is going on. Any ideas!? I may go back to the appstore version.

Are you able to give me very specific reproduction steps?
Where do you insert a blank line? Is it a new project? Which character do you delete?
@sim it is all very inconsistent. I went all the way back to 480 and i am still very unstable.
Maybe something is corrupted somewhere? If I delete Codea and start again from scratch will i lose all the programs? If they are in iCloud do they stay?
The projects are basically zipped folders that contain your tabs as .lua files, so you can copy the project and store it anywhere without any worry that it’s integrated into the editor
@sim @John @jfperusse - nice to see the black close ‘X’ back in the editor after loading projects. Thanks.
@sim i deleted codea and reloaded from app store-still the same problems!!
During the process i noticed that cursor positioning bug is fixed if i use the screen keyboard. The problem is related to the use of the external apple keyboard! Hope that helps figuring out what is going on!
Do you notice this in all projects? Even the example projects?
Curious if there is perhaps a project you can send me privately where the issue is particularly severe, or if it just applies to everything
@sim it also happens with the example programs. Seems just the presence of having the magic keyboard connected makes it appear. As I use my finger to scroll the screen, i don’t actually need to use the keyboard to see the problem. Do you have a magic keyboard?
I do. I use Codea with the magic keyboard and without. If you have a specific example project and specific steps I could follow — or even a screen recording — or something that would be great.
What I have tried so far:
- Putting the cursor at the top of the screen
- Scrolling it off the screen
- Moving the cursor with the arrow keys
- Code editor scrolls back to cursor position
- Putting the cursor at the top of the screen
- Scrolling it off the screen
- Inserting or deleting text off-screen
- Code editor scrolls back to cursor position
@sim just emailed to you an icloud link to my problematic file. Hopefully you might be able to figure out what is going on.
